Ankylosaurus was the "tank dinosaur", with armor everywhere but its stomach, and a tail club the size of a basketball, it needed every bit of defense it could muster as it lived with Tyrannosaurus rex.
This Ankylosaurus scute cast is from the side of the body. Kicking the animal from the side would result in severe lower leg damage indeed!
Own a ~4" cast of one of the triangular side spikes from an Ankylosaurus!
