Ankylosaurus was an Ankylosaurid Dinosaur from the late Cretaceous of North America and Asia. These large herbivores possessed thick armor all over their bodies, and clubs on their tails. One Ankylosaurid genus was named after Michael Crichton, Crichtonsaurus, by the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

[edit] In Jurassic Park

First seen in Jurassic Park III, Ankylosaurus does not play a major role in the movies. It was briefly seen grazing during the "Valley of the Dinosaurs" scene.

[edit] In Operation Genesis

Ankylosaurus may be seen as a four-star large herbivore in the video game Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. It is possible for it to engage in "Death Duels" with Tyrannosaurus. Tyrannosaurus sometimes comes on top by having its neck snapped (holding its head down with its foot and then twisting it with its jaws) or by being attacked from underneath.
