Ankylosaurus: The Living Fortress

About this episode

An in-depth look at how the iconic armored dinosaur did more than shield itself. From the tail club as a weapon and plates as social signals, to thermoregulation via vascular osteoderms and even biochemical tricks seen in crocodilians, armor was a multi-tool that solved defense, display, and physiology all at once.
