Clue explained
Ankylosaurus is an armored dinosaur, with rows of bony plates embedded in its skin protecting much of its body. It lived in the Late Cretaceous, and its most famous weapon was a heavy tail club that could swing at predators. The club was formed from bony masses at the tail’s tip, while stiffened vertebrae helped support its powerful swing. Despite that imposing equipment, Ankylosaurus was a plant-eater; its armor and club served for defense.
