I WONDER - What Did The Ankylosaurus Look Like? Me Pregunto - Cómo Se Veía El Anquilosaurio?

The video explains the origin of the name Ankylosauria, which means 'consolidated lizard' in Greek, referring to its protective outer armor. Ankylosauria had bone plates under a keratin layer in its skin, providing strong protection. These bony plates, known as scutes, were also present on its eyelids.
