It had a huge bone club at the end of its tail which was used to fend off predators such as T-Rex,which lived at the same time and in the same place.


Fact File

Length = 10m 35 feet

Height =  6 feet

Weight = 6 tonnes

Diet = Herbivorous

Prey

It was a herbivore, so its food was the low-lying ferns on the Cretaceous floor. It was hunted by the mighty T-Rex, but it was able to defend itself. This is known because Tyrannosaurus Rex fossils have been found with fractures, usually caused by a crippling blow from a powerful  Ankylosaurus tail club.
