Ankylosaurus weighed 13,000 pounds, or 6.5 tons. This makes them the largest species of ankylosaurian dinosaur.
Ankylosaurus was so covered in bony armor on its back, head, neck, tail, and sides that it would have been virtually impossible for a large theropod to even reach a vulnerable part of the Ankylosaurus. Reaching a vulnerable part of the Ankylosaurus would be made even more difficult by its tail club, which would deliver lethal blows to an attacker.
To wound an Ankylosaurus, a dinosaur would have to attack its underbelly while avoiding blows from its tail club.
Ankylosaurus's belly was less than three feet above the ground, so even fitting under it to attack it would have been difficult for any predatory dinosaur of sufficient strength to injur its underbelly. Another means of wounding an Ankylosaurus would be to flip it over, although that would be impossible on a practical level for any dinosaur, even Tyrannosaurus. The last method for wounding, even killing, an Ankylosaurus would be to force it off of a sufficiently high cliff, because when it fell its bones would be broken by its own weight. However, it would be very difficult to do that, because the Ankylosaurus would simply stand its ground and defend itself with its tail club.
Ankylosaurus was so formidable that fossil evidence suggests they were almost never attacked by predators.
Ankylosaurus's habitat was the humid, subtropical floodplain on the coast of a shallow sea. This area is what is now Montana, Wyoming, and Alberta. There were distinctive wet and dry seasons here. Local plants included conifers, cycads, ferns, horsetails, ginkgoes, and early angiosperms such as palms and primitive grasses.

He was adapted to its habitat because it can camoufalge
Ankylosaurus was 25 to 30 feet long and weighed 6.5 tons. That means they weighed as much as a large elephant, but because of their tail, they were 25% to 50% longer than an elephant. They were very low built, though, with the highest point of their back (which was above their head) being 6 feet high or less.
Ankylosaurus would have found food and water the same way animals do today. As it traveled, it would find edible plants, and it would eat them. As for water, they would keep track of local bodies of water, and they would visit them when they needed to drink.
Dinosaurs died approx 65 million years ago, while modern man has only been around for a few hundred thousand years ago. Pre modern man has been around for longer, but then it depends on your definition of man. Our divergance from ape-like creatures maybe 7-10 million years ago, so dinosaurs existed and died out long before our origins.
Both Ankylosaurus and Armadillo are covered in armor. Because of their armor, armadillos have few predators, and Ankylosaurus had none.
It would probably have been the kind of peaceful herbivores who would leave you alone if you left them alone. However, if a predator tried to attack them they would lash out with their heavy club-like tails to defend themselves.
All ancestors of the dinosaurs, including those of Ankylosaurus, are extinct. The closest living relatives of Ankylosaurus and other dinosaurs are the birds. Birds evolved from small, feathered, arborial theropods. Theropods were bipedal dinosaurs with three toes on each foot, and most were lizard-hipped carnivores.
Bearded dragons are lizards, and, like dinosaurs, lizards are reptiles. However, no lizards, including bearded dragons, evolved from dinosaurs. Birds, on the other hand, evolved from small, feathered, insectivorous or meat eating dinosaurs that lived in trees.
Ankylosaurus ate low growing, tender plants less than 4 feet above the ground. They found these plants in the understory of the forested floodplains where they lived, in what is now Montana, Wyoming, and Alberta.

All animals have water in their body, not only in the blood but in the cytoplasm, or jelly-like filling, of each and every cell. However, all animals lose some water every day, not just to urination but also to evaporation through its breath. To replenish lost water, nearly all animals drink. Ankylosaurus lived in an environment where water was usually available, so they most likely drank regularly. One of Ankylosaurus's relatives, Sachania, lived in the Gobi Desert of Asia, and it does show adaptations for water conservation. Specifically, it appears to have had glands next to its nostrils that would have allowed it to expel excess salt without having to urinate, thus minimizing how often it urinated and also conserving water. Even Sachania, though, probably didn't get all of its water from food and had to drink every few days at least.
The name Ankylosaurus means "fused lizard." This refers to the fact that many of the bones in the skeleton of Ankylosaurus were fused together in order to strengthen them enough to support the Ankylosaurus's heavy armor.
That king dinosaur thing is just a bunch of crap. Ankylosaurus was literally unbeatable, although didn't purposefully kill anything unless it was being attacked.
