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. The skull was heavily protected, leaving little room for the brain, resulting in a small brain size. The neck had the largest armor group, likely to protect against attackers.

In what ways is keratin significant to the anatomy of ankylosauria?

What role did the armor play in the protection of ankylosauria?
