Prehistoric Planet 2 - How Did Ankylosaurs Use Their Tail? | Apple TV+

[@themightyspartan1012]

What even more fascinating were ankylosaurs swing their tail with so much force. That if it were to stop its momentum halfway, it would have broke their tailbone due to the mass of the club. Which shows it has enough potential to injure or kill a predators with just a right spot.

[@adamzabielski3685]

Ankylosaur club tails were even affective against each other. One Tarchia skull shown in injury made by a club tail, indicating it got whacked in the head by a club tail, resulting in its death

[@melchiando]

You imagine getting whacked by that club?? 😮 I'm sure you wouldn't survive!

[@adamzabielski3685]

@@melchiando If it can crack another ankylosaur's skull like a nut, break a T.rex's leg with ease and fling a Velociraptor away like a fly, it would break anything

[@themightyspartan1012]

Yeah even the T. Rex were nervous when hunting an ankylosaurs. The more amazing is how their body were much lower compared to other dinosaurs. Made them a great leg breakers.

[@rabidL3M0NS]

I find it likely that they were used primarily for intraspecific combat, just like doedicurus.

[@SmashBrosAssemble]

Ankylosaurs were just living tanks, hulking masses of bone & osteoderms that have a massive sledgehammer for a tail.

David Attenborough should do like his brother and create Jurassic Park lol

AND THIS is how I found out they were brothers

Was my “favorite” dinosaur as a kid

[@Mike-qt1bn]

i feel like any 3rd grader could have posited the idea that if ankylosaurs used their tails to fight off predators, they also used them to establish social hierarchies. that's pretty standard in the animal kingdom.

[@craigkdillon]

Social hierarchies are only in pack or herd animals. Lions have a hierarchy. Tigers do not. So, now someone has to prove that Ankylosaurs lived in herds.

[@stickmanblubbles4489]

Yes but that posited idea could only be verified recently by the evidence of injuries in fossils.

[@Nonjola]

So, the ankylosaurs lived more in desert regions? Maybe that makes sense, some horned lizard species I know also live in such areas.

[@PelicanMobBoss]

Some of them lived in forests and some in floodplains

[@SmashBrosAssemble]

There’s a preservation bias in deserts for Ankylosaurs.

Tanky boi

[@Spyger9]

They show the same shot of the tail hitting sand twice, an NO shots of the tail hitting another animal. Who the hell directed this?
