Since adult Ankylosaurus did little chewing of its food, it would have spent less time in the day foraging than an elephant. [12] Based on the broadness of the ribcage, the digestion of unchewed food may have been facilitated by hindgut fermentation like in modern herbivorous lizards, which have several chambers in their enlarged colon.

Another large but even more controversial sauropod is Bruhathkayosaurus, which had a calculated weight ranging between 126–220 t (139–243 short tons) and a length of 44.1 m (145 ft) [13] [14] [15] Although the existence of this sauropod had long been dismissed as a potential fake or a misidentification of a petrified tree trunk, recent ...
Talarurus was a medium sized ankylosaur, Thomas Holtz and Gregory S. Paul estimated its length at 5–6 m (16–20 ft), Paul gave a weight of 2 t (2,000 kg), [9] however, Holtz estimated it around 454 to 907 kg (1,001 to 2,000 lb). [10]
Tarchia was a medium-sized ankylosaur, measuring around 5.5–6 metres (18–20 ft) long and weighing up to 2.5–3 metric tons (2.8–3.3 short tons). [9] [10] If ZPAL MgD I/113 indeed belongs to the genus, it would have belonged to an individual measuring 5.8–6.7 metres (19–22 ft) long.
Ankylosauridae (/ ˌ æ ŋ k ɪ l oʊ ˈ s ɔː r ɪ d iː /) is a family of armored dinosaurs within Ankylosauria, and is the sister group to Nodosauridae.The oldest known ankylosaurids date to around 122 million years ago and went extinct 66 million years ago during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.

Ford & Kirkland (2001) originally gave Aletopelta an estimated length of 6 metres (19.7 feet). [2] However, Gregory S. Paul gave a lower estimate of 5 metres (16 feet) long and weight of 2 tonnes (4,409 lbs) in 2010.
Its size has been estimated to be in the range of 3 to 5.5 meters (9.8 to 18.0 ft) long and approximately 380 kilograms (840 lb) in weight. Classification [ edit ]
In 2010, Gregory S. Paul estimated its length at 5 metres (16 ft), its weight at 2 tonnes (2.2 short tons). [7] Thomas Holtz gave a lower estimation of 4 metres (13 ft) and 227-454 kg (500-1.000 lbs) in 2012. [6] Its hindlimbs are relatively long for an ankylosaur, with a right femur length of 555 millimetres with the holotype.
