How did plant-eaters fight back?
T o defend themlves against predators, the different plant-eating dinosaurs developed an impressive armory of weapons. The ankylosaur Euoplocephalus  had a ball of thickened bone at the end of its tail, which it could swing at attackers. The stegosaurs had tails studded with daggerlike spikes for stabbing attackers, while the sauropods’ size was their main defen.  Some dinosaurs had features that puzzle paleontologists,  becau it is unclear whether they were weapons or  merely tools for feeding.

Q Could a sauropod
crush an attacker?
A big sauropod, such as Barosaurus ,
had one decisive weapon against even  the largest theropods—sheer weight.  Its 20-ton body could easily crush the  bones and suck the air from the lungs of  a 3-ton Allosaurus . Barosaurus  may have resorted to crushing attackers in  extreme circumstances, such as  to protect its young.

Which was the
spikiest dinosaur?Kentrosaurus lizard,” was certainly one of the spikiest. It was an East African stegosaur, which measured about 16 ft (5 m) long. Pairs of bone plates protected its neck, shoulders, and back. Six pairs of spikes—each  of which was up to 2 ft (60 cm) in
length—adorned its lower back and tail.  Kentrosaurus to fend off theropods, such as A Q How uful were
massive claws?
Therizinosaurus  had three huge,
lethal-looking claws on each hand. However, some experts think the claws were too blunt to be ud as weapons. Instead, they may have been ud for feeding—to pluck foliage from trees or to rip open the nests of
termites. If so, how this dinosaur defended itlf remains a mystery.
Which dinosaur had
a thum
b spike?
Iguanodon  was a large herbivore
without spines, plates, or claws. Its only defensive weapon was a single long spike on each thumb. Paleontologists believe this dinosaur may have jabbed at attacking theropods with the spike. Iguanodon  had unusually flexible hands and was able to grasp food in its fingers.

Did body armor
really help?
Many dinosaurs had some protective armor, but the ankylosaurs were the most heavily armored of all. Some were covered in a mosaic of bony plates and studs, and many
bristled with spines and spikes, too. Only their bellies were unprotected, and ankylosaurs may have crouched to avoid exposing them when attacked. It would have taken a hungry theropod to tackle spiky Gastonia ,  which may have responded by driving its shoulder spines into its attacker’s leg.

What was the armor

made of?
The flat plates embedded in the
skin of the ankylosaurs are known as scutes by paleontologists. The ankylosaurs’ armor of scutes, studs, and spikes was made of hardened bone, sometimes covered in horn. Edmontonia  had scutes around its shoulders and along its tail, as well as triangular spikes on its back.

Powerful legs
skin on the backs and tails of some of the ankylosaurs was virtually bullet-proof—and certainly tooth-proof. The big scutes, smaller irregular plates, and the hexagonal plates interlocked to make the skin so tough and light that experts have likened it to fiberglass.

hexagonal plates, like a modern turtle.

What was a nasal boss?
One of the horned dinosaurs, Pachyrhinosaurus , has a name that
means “thick-nod lizard.” On its no—where its cousins had a sharp horn—Pachyrhinosaurus  had a big bony knob. This their nasal boss as weapons.
