About Ankylosaurus

A living tank covered in bony armor plates and sporting a massive club tail. The tail club could deliver a blow with enough force to shatter bone. Even its eyelids had armor. Had a broad, flat body designed to make it hard to flip over. One of the last non-avian dinosaurs, living right up to the extinction.
