They probably called Ankylosaurus the "armored tank" because it was so densely covered in bony armor plates on its head, neck, back, sides, and tail, just like a tank is armored to protect it from gunshots. Some other things Ankylosaurus shares with tanks are that it was bulky and hard to flip, and they were both well armed: a tank has guns, and an Ankylosaurus has a lethal tail club.

Ankylosaurus is not known to have had any armor on its eyelids. However, some of its relatives like Euoplocephalus did have armored eyelids.

An adult Ankylosaurus was so heavily armored and well protected by its defensive tail club that they had no natural enemies. However, a young Ankylosaurus could fall prey to Tyrannosaurus or dromaeosaurid raptors.

Ankylosaurus and Saichania are both armored dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous period, but they belong to different genera and exhibit distinct characteristics. Ankylosaurus, primarily found in North America, is known for its large size and prominent club-like tail, while Saichania, discovered in Mongolia, is smaller and has a more robust body with a different arrangement of armor plates. Additionally, Saichania is considered to have been more heavily armored than Ankylosaurus, reflecting adaptations to its environment. Both dinosaurs, however, shared similar herbivorous diets and defensive strategies against predators.
this is it
The motto of Armored Corps - Israel - is 'The man in the tank will be victorious'.
The ankylosaurus resembles modern-day armadillos and certain species of reptiles, particularly the crocodile. Its heavily armored body and club-like tail are reminiscent of these animals' protective features. Additionally, the stegosaurus, another dinosaur, shares some physical traits with ankylosaurus, particularly in terms of body shape and defensive structures.
Triceratops and Ankylosaurus had different strengths suited to their lifestyles. Triceratops, with its three horns and large frill, was likely more formidable in head-to-head confrontations, using its horns for defense against predators. In contrast, Ankylosaurus was heavily armored and had a club-like tail, making it well-equipped to withstand attacks. Overall, while Triceratops may have had an advantage in offensive strength, Ankylosaurus had superior defensive capabilities.

Ankylosaurus is, in and of itself, the scientific name of the species. The full name of the animal is Ankylosaurus magniventris.
