  Family Ankylosauridae
  Genus Ankylosaurus
Ankylosaurus was a massive herbivore (plant-eater) that lived in the late Cretaceous period (74 to 65 million years ago) in North America. It was one of the dinosaurs that died out in the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction, 65 million years ago.

Ankylosaurus was covered with massive armor to protect it from predators, was up to 33 feet (10 meters) long, and weighed over 4 tons.

The armor consisted of hundreds of oval-shapped bony plates embedded in its leathery hide. There were also four spikes on its head (two at the back, and one on each cheek), and a heavy bony growth on the end of its tail, which was was probably use a club in defense, when Ankylosaurus was attacked by predators.

Ankylosaurus was named by Barnum Brown in 1908 and means "stiffened lizard".
