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]
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.

Many dinosaur specimens have been sold at auction, as part of the fossil trade.On average, around five dinosaur skeletons are put up for auction each year. [1] These specimens are mostly purchased by wealthy private collectors and museums in Europe and the United States, though interest has been growing in China as well. [1]
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.
Ankylosauria is a group of herbivorous dinosaurs of the clade Ornithischia.It includes the great majority of dinosaurs with armor in the form of bony osteoderms, similar to turtles.
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.
