Yep. That is what it does.
🤣
The "defenceless when thrown on its back- ylosaurus"
I remember having a book when I was a kid showing a T-rex fighting a stegosaurus. It blew my mind when I found out that we live closer in time to the T-rex than the T-rex lived to Stegosaurus.
Even more amazing is the fact that between the last dinos, the T-rex among them, and the first ones to appear some 250M years ago, there is a span of time THREE TIMES bigger than the one between the last dinos and us.
I don’t think ankylosaurus lived alongside T-Rex either. I’m pretty sure the dinosaur that T-Rex had the most fights with was the triceratops.
@@joeybulford5266 You may be confusing them with some other dinos. They actually lived from 84 millon years ago to the very arrival of the asteroid. In fact in the episode Death of A Dynasty of the BBC series Walking With Dinosaurs the main character, a female T-Rex, is mortally wounded by one just hours before the rock strikes Earth.
@@joeybulford5266do your research
Cool fact: Tyrannosaurus Rex lived 85,000 human lifetimes ago
I would argue that if a T-rex was desperate enough to attack a full grown Ankylosaurus, and had its leg shattered, there is a very slim chance it would hobble towards an area that would be ideal for fossilization like a swamp or someplace where two working legs are necessary.
agreed, and not unlike current day cougars that are down bad.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cheers From your newest subscriber from California
Dayum imagine resting in a swamp and getting ambushed by a deinosuchus
@@Cabeza.47there were no giant crocodiles that lived with Rex
I'm surprised you haven't heard of the ankylosaur "mummy" found in Canada. It was a type of Nodosaur. It's scales, spikes, and plates were absurdly well preserved. Look into it.
Yeah, I'm surprised that specimen wasn't mentioned
absolutely gorgeous specimen aswell
The specimin is in the pic at 1:54
For an ugly animal
(my interpret 🤓)
that one is a Beaut!
Woah
Ankylosaurus is my favorite dinosaur, always has been, always will be
Me too! I have always loved the style of those low slung tanks.🤗
Mine too. I love Ankylosaurus.
It's a TANK! With THORNS! Seeing borealopelta (different but closely related) was like THE highlight of 2023 for me.
Why?
Like like therizonosaur
@@TheSmartestManonEarth Well why should everyone therizinosaurus
I wonder how much pain and broken bones his ancestors had to endure for this beast to develop this massive armour
Thats one reason i dont beleive in evolution, because ones mishaps and endeavors just cannot affect ones offspring.
@@M-nerd800 I think you are wrong mate because biology tends to respond to the environment. That's why carnivores have teeth and digestive systems designed to eat meat while herbivores have it to eat plants. That's why humans that live in northern latitudes are white and have blonde hair and why humans that live in africa are black and I could go on and on...
@@youyoutobio yes there is evolution to a certain degree, its adaptation. humans that have adapted to african environments and humans that have adapted to northern environments are different yes, but both still the same species. humans have adapted wolves to dogs, but a German shepherd can reproduce with a wolf, because they are both canines. just as African people can reproduce with Caucasian people because both are people, whos ancestors were people.
@@M-nerd800 I think you just proved my point because adaptation is just evolution imprinted into the DNA, but ok. So what part of the evolution theory you think is wrong? Just curious
@@M-nerd800if it wasn't so politically charged, humans would absolutely be classed into dirrerent sub-species.
Predators like T. rex would have learned early in life to go after easier prey. After all, having just two legs, if it suffered a broken bone in one of it's lower legs from an Ankylosaurus club, that would be a death sentence. And as I think about it, populations of Ankylosaurus wouldn't need large numbers to survive as a genus (species?) due to a very low predation rate once achieving adulthood. A pretty ingenious animal.
Not really. They were unlikely to encounter most animals in their lifetime. Just like how we have a heightened ability to detect snakes biologically engraved in us, t-Rex’s would when also evolved such aversions towards certain type of animals. Basically ones that didn’t have this aversion would die… and those that did (to some extent) would survive. More accurately the injuries would hinder it and if they didn’t avoid certain creatures they were much more likely to suffer this injuries which would shorten their life on average.
I can imagine they would investigate these animals but soon found out it just wasn't worth it. I wouldn't want Food that fights back either. I'd say "fk that" too if I was a T-Rex. 😆😆
Wonder if where they were so successful in repelling predators they might have (at least in adulthood) developed some Aposematic coloration to ward off predators even further
Only five incomplete Ankylosaurus specimens have ever been found. Contrast that to the literal tens of hundreds of Edmontosaurus and Triceratops specimens that have been discovered, and it’s no surprise that we haven’t any Ankylosaurus specimens with T. rex bite marks on them. It’s not because T. rex never fed on them. It’s because the available sample size for Ankylosaurus specimens is so insanely tiny that the likelihood of finding any evidence of feeding on them would be a statistical wonder.
No there's three hunnid and fiddy of em
The one dinosaur T-Rex was afraid of was Mrs. T-Rex.
funny
She had Marc Bolan's hair.
Only losers like you would say this
Truer than you realize. I forget the study and can't find it now. Female T-rexs were often twice the size of males, did all the hunting and defending. Males were for gene diversity and baby rex guarding.
You got that Right !!!
Could I pet it tho?
No.
He might send you to heaven with his Bony Club
If you raised it from an egg after surviving the effort of stealing said egg, maybe.
Ever seen a dog clear a table with its tail ? If this good boy got excited, you'd be dead. 😂
T. Rex more than likely wasn’t scared of it, but probably knew it wasn’t able to get past the armor so it didn’t waste its time.
Triceratops & Edmontosaurus are more worth while prey.
@@SmashBrosAssemblerex prey tier list.
A tier: edmonto. Strong but still prey
C tier: trike. More dangures edmonto.
F- tier: anky. Why would it even ettempt to
It's like playing Dark souls, everytime you complete the game it gets 2x harder, But Anky is the mode you get once you complete the game 100 times ...
You don’t say professor! I never knew T Rex didn’t feel human emotions of fear, anxiety, trepidation, etc. What a revelation!
How could you possibly know??
I love Ankylosaurus and Tyrannosaurus- two amazing dinosaurs.
all I am hearing is fact
Ever since, I found out about Ankylosaurus. I thought it was a impressive beast of a dinosaur.
Gotta love them!
8:02 was savage.. he couldnt even be bothered to get up to do it 🤣
Deserved. He was an idiot for going after the club
yeah but the Ankyl barely touched him and the dino was like "aaaaaaah, im dying!"
@@rgerberto be fair but that blow hit its head, it probably got concussed, in high school i had someone punch me in the head, apparently i collapsed in a very similar manner
Since they were herbivores, I wonder if they ever used their clubs for slamming tree trunks to make leaves fall when times are tough?
Not a bad theory especially if they can think on dire times and especially since they don't have long necks to reach trees
Do you think the caloric offset makes sense when times are tough to expend the most possible energy by whacking trees as hard as possible?
AS we monkeys know stubbing your toe on a door or chair leg or grinding your shin or ankle bone off the lowered dishwasher door , the thought of been smacked by that club, i dont doubt the T rex just knew to not bother attacking the Rock
Servosaurus: Welcome to Jurassic Restaurant! What'll you have?
Ankylosaurus: How about a club sandwich?
Servosaurus: You're in luck! That's our bony-plate special of the day.

Hey, great vid. Physicist here!Just wanted to point out that Impulse is measured in N*s (Newton-seconds) not N/s (Newtons per second)
Oops, my high school physics teacher would be ashamed - thanks for the correction!
What ?
So..
You're Still saying..
A Measurement of Time..
By the way..
Time is still perhaps the Most
Mis-Understood happening
( it's far more a Measurement of where then anything else !! )
@bobmuller8806 it's a measure of force accumulated over a time as opposed to a rate of force per time. so like your electric bill is measured in kW*h (kilowatt-hours) because what's important is the power (kW) in total that you use over a time (hour). it wouldn't make sense to have an electric bill that is kW/h (kilowatt per hour) cause that just tells you the rate when in this context the accumulation is what matters. so in this video what matters in that measurement is the total force across that time that the tail applies. in other contexts the rate of force may be important. I don't know what the rest of what you said even means. but good luck ig

Honestly thats how I pronounce the name of this guy. Ankle-o-saurus. Because thats probably the easiest spot to hit with a tail club.
Still traumatized with Jurassic World with what happened to the Ank fighting Indominus. 😭😔
That's a bs Hollywood movie.
U must be a toddler
I’m still traumatized with how bad the Jurassic World sequels were.
Reinforced legs? Sure I can maybe buy Indominus having that. But it took the club to THE FACE.
Everything after the lost world was hot garbage. Even the lost world was only ok. That first film was lightning in a bottle.
Ankylosaurus the hell creek formation Resident the america's Armoured Tank while T.rex Was an Anti tank gun which robert T bakker said it
The trex wasn't an anti tank gun if it couldn't feed on and got clubbed by the tank
@@hakanbrakankrakan to be fair, a 37mm anti-tank gun wouldn't punch through a 100mm RHA plate
The Phillip Currie Dinosaur Museum at Wembly Alberta , near Grand Pairie has an intact Ankylosaurus on display, first one found.
It was found near there at the Pine Tree river dinosaur dig , I believe. It is in a flattened state.
Are you talking about the borealopelta? I was quite surprised that was not included in the video
4:01 there's that 'mummified' one (I appreciate it's just the one individual, but should give an idea of plate arrangement)
Editted to add: I also appreciate this is not the same species, but a similar family member
Imagine being so badass that evolution not only gives you natural heavy plate armor but also a war hammer.
damn, that picture at 9:15 just captured bird like essence of t rex, yet kept him terrifying, "ptero-vultures" waiting between trees just ad bizzarreness to whole scene...love it!
Not only that, they are really good at harvesting metal, crystal, and obsidian. 😊
The fact the Ankylosaurus is my favourite dinosaur and it could withstand the T-Rex just makes it even cooler for me❤️
Ankylosaurus is an interesting animal with a special build for survival. It’s probably the only animal in Cretaceous period that’s not afraid of the T Rex.
The remains of an ankylosaurus were found on a river bluff in sandstone while crews were excavating for a new road in San Diego, CA. And... I have seen petrified ankylosaurus dung on a present day hill top which was long ago a sea shore mud reef just east of Abilene, TX.
I did hear some paloentologists suggest that it didn't have bite marks because it was flipped on its back to get to the soft under belly, as it were.
Utter bullshit
It to close to the ground and would be to heavy to do so
Only way it could happen was if it accidentally flipped itself (falling from a slope and roll on its back)
Its also to most bullshit fight scene in JW with the indo rex
1) no way it would get out of the fight unscaved when being hit in the head by that tail (scattered skull or at least broken jaw)
The flipping over was also unrealistic
Weirdo
@@stormwarrior007 I mean, I'm definitely on the anklosaurus's team, but there simply isn;t enough evidence to say something is utter bullshit when talking about dinosaurs, what if the t rex COULD flip them, like a elephant flipping a truck.
@lickdickrick to be able to do that the Trex would need to be able to get its head on the side
And push it over in one swoop (cause if you start pushing it it will just move and the trex would just tip over from the sheer force it had to put into it)
We are talking bout an animal that weight around 5 tons and low point of gravity
Altough I understand where you comminh from, I just dont see it happen with an animal that is defending itself
That’s a bit flawed considering its weight and how low it is to the ground. Being a quad-petal animal it would’ve had great balance enough to prevent from being ripped over by a Rex.
Always my favorite dinosaur when I was a kid. I used that tail to beat ALL the other dinos I had in my classic group of animal stuff. He’d take out bulls, elephants, gorillas, all other big critters, including the mighty T-Rex! Yeah, the little dinosaur that could..!!
The Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller has an extraordinary fossil of a Borealopelta, a close relative of ankylosaurus that shares a similar appearance. It's remarkable to behold something that so closely resembles a living dinosaur.
Excellent! Love the narration, excellent transition work, and love how you don’t just tell, but show! 10/10!
I could see it also using that tail to bury itself. ;O)-
First making a pat-down hole, then flinging dirt up around it's edges as it sits in that hole.
What an elaborate description covering almost every aspect of this fascinating animal.
Just subscribed. Great work
Wouldn't T. rex also be scared of the fully grown, largest specimen of Edmontosaurus and even Triceratops as well? (Though that still wouldn't stop it from hunting them, which makes T. rex more badass than it already is.)
Indeed if it could flip an Ankly over than it would be able to kill it easier
Tyrannosaurus could just cow tip an adult Edmontosaurus
@@SmashBrosAssemble Or ram into it by using its bulk to knock it over
And Alamosaurus (and all Titanosaurs).
@@burnedsmackdown4209
That’s what I mean
I like the way you paint a picture of the ecosystem of the animals you describe.
Definitely one of the most intimidating herbivorous dinosaurs to have ever existed!
The Ankylosaurus was always my favorite because of that biological shield and mace.
Thank you for this video, this is my favourite dinosaur!
Please make a video on maip macrothorax megaraptors 😭
Ankylosaurs have always been my favorite kind of dinosaur. They're like easily underestimated, not very bright, grumpy armored tanks.
There is something about them I find oddly adorable.
Thanks for covering the cretaceous mammals great content!!
Fun fact, ankylosaur Zuul Crurivastators species name means destroyer of shins
I loved seeing TheDinosaurMann's art shown at 10:29 I have a few art pieces from him that I have commissioned
Just recently starting watching you. Keep it up! Nice channel man.
Another masterpiece of information. It is of course a dinosaur that I had heard of often but never realized how unique it was.
I thought they recovered a fully intact fossil a few years ago
It's a relative species.
Did Alamosaurus and Rex live in the same area? If so I'd imagine T. Rex would be very afraid of it, and rightfully so.
Thank you for all your hard work! ❤ from 🇸🇪.
Five year old me would be so excited if this channel was around in the early 80’s. Damn you last pre internet childhood!!! 😂😂😂
I think it's less so that it was the only one it was afraid of, as it was the one it was the MOST afraid of. A T. rex that doesn't have a healthy level of fear of its prey would die. It has to fear its prey to some extent so it will be perfectly on edge the whole time while hunting. A fearless rex is a careless rex. Not that it's healthy to be too afraid either, because then it'd panic. It would need to just be on edge, to ensure it never gets cocky.
With these slow-moving behemoths about, one wonders whether there was a terrestrial version of the cookie-cutter shark about in the Mesozoic. Perhaps a toothy pterosaur? A small theropod? Or even a Mesozoic vampire bat analogue?
Fascinatingly informative.
Thank you.
Nice drawings
Heres what i wanna know. How on earth did this thing mate with that giant tail in the way
With Great Dexterity ...

Definitely a favorite dino of mine, was always curious about how it interacted with the rest of its environment. I can imagine experienced T-rex's and other predators definitely going for younger members of the species, but i willing to bet the adults had to fend off more than their fair share of predators as well, it strikes me that more seasoned rex's could tell that the anky would have trouble defending itself from the front, who knows, perhaps a fossil will be found one day telling another story.
Very good video !
Ankylosaurus my beloved ❤
"Armour strong enough to withstand small firearms." Yeah... the thing weighted 5 tons. Pretty sure you can mag dump any 5 ton animal and have a good chance to only annoy it.
Hence the specialty Elephant guns, and ammunition
just admit you have no experiance with weapons.
@@StopYTShorts How many thousands of people walked, ran around and fought after having multiple holes put in them? Humans weight an average of 80kg. Just admit you have no idea how much 5000 kg is.
Love the anky. Favorite Dino ever. Would love to see a video on bone crushing dogs if you're looking for new ideas!
randomly clicked on one of these channels videos now im obbsessed and probably gonna binge watch dino vids today... never would of guessed that lol
I love the Bonkosaurus
Megaraptor maip microthorax video please 😢
One of my favorite dinosaurs. Its design is so beautiful, like every other living creature. But this one intrigues me a lot.
Dakotaraptor video please 🥺
One of my childhood favorites. Favorite dinosaur was a bonehead. Pretty sure that's what I evolved from...
Love it! More! Encore!
Idk man. I’m scared of mice sometimes.
the one animal the t rex was scared of: the honey badger
I had ankle sores when I broke my foot and needed a cast for 6 weeks. They were pretty painful, but they could never beat a T-Rex.
Great video
To OP: Thank you for including the imperial measuring system and not just the metric system! We Americans appreciate it!
Probably just tasted bad.
LMAOOO
The only creator who fully mastered thumbnails
The ankylosaur... now THAT'S a piece of tail.
This is why it was always my favorite !
Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad, is a full minute of happiness you will never get back.
The walking tank has always been among my favorite prehistoric creatures.
Hi author, don't hope for your reply but still want to ask something about. There is a russian channel "The Last Dino" that took two of your videos (as I know, maybe there are more of them), this one and the one about tarbosaurus. He might be translating your videos, but I didn't saw links in the description
The evolution of these animals actually makes quite a lot of sense, they fought each other with their clubs, to compete for things like mates, while also needing to be HIT by said clubs. Perhaps leading to clubs getting bigger and armor becoming stronger. Kind of like how deer rut for mates, and in animals who do rut, the things they use to fight often get bigger and bigger, leading to a more specialized version of whatever body part they use. It's amazing how nature has these systems for weeding out certain genes and keeping evolution going. Of course no concrete evidence for anything here we're all just looking at old bones. Edit* AHH FUCK HE HAD DEERS IN THE VIDEO TOO AS AN EXAMPLE I THOUGHT I WAS SMART FOR CONNECTING THE DOTS :(
whilst visiting the british museum in the 1970s, I happened upon a specimen of ankylosaur that , although partial, was remarkably preserved, I noted thick hairs between the ostheoderms, the skin itself had somehow been preserved.
I had recently read about thecodonts and wondered if this was also a protomammal.
I don't know if it is still displayed, but it is worth mentioning in view of the recent discovery that dinosaurs may have been feathered with quills.
Fascinating.
I wonder if they developed any aposematic coloration to ward off predators; at least in adulthood.
It would be really cool to see a colorful/patterned ankylosaurous
Now I'm going to subscribe.... don't worry, I have no questions for you.... like your approach
Ankylosaurus is my favorite dinosaur it’s so heavily armored and cool
Yay, my favorite dinosaur it's in a video
That spiked tail was quite a weapon.
goddamn that list of epic dino body plans followed by our strat at the time "how many iterations of rodents can we make? yes"
Nice, they play fought to build their defense, if someone beat me with a club, I would develop armor too.
if i was a t-rex i would also not attack Ankylosaurus because i not risk my bone and if i did kill it it has armor cover the meat too
14:43 that would a sick name for a metal band
Woo! My favorite dinosaur was a badass!
Thank you for giving my favorite dinosaur it's 15 minutes of fame
My two fave dinosaurs - the Ankylosaur and the carnosaurus
Oh the things i would do to get one of those clubs! Id have to make a stone age hammer with oak and sinew and put it in a case.
ankylosaurus along with raptor are my 2 fave dinos
Lawd, I thought you were going to list every known dinosaur found so far..... very interesting though.
Juvemile ankylosaurus is probably the cutest dinosaur I have seen in a decade.
If they were alive today, they should've been a protected species.
