A 2011 study of the nasal passages of Euoplocephalus by paleontologist Tetsuto Miyashita and colleagues supported their function as a heat and water balancing system, noting the extensive blood vessel system and an increased surface area for the mucosa membrane (used for heat and water exchange in modern animals). The researchers also supported the idea of the loops acting as a resonance chamber, comparable to the elongated nasal passages of saiga antelope and the looping trachea of cranes and swans. Reconstructions of the inner ear suggest adaptation to hearing at low frequencies, such as the low-toned resonant sounds possibly produced by the nasal passages. They disputed the possibility that the looping is related to olfaction (sense of smell) as the olfactory region is pushed to the sides of the main airway. [28]

(July 1, 2015) Retrieved from http://www.jurassicworld.org/?id=332#comments In the script for The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Robert Burke claims to have seen the remains of an Ankylosaur herd while he was in the helicopter that transported him to Isla Sorna and Burke further claims that they have gone extinct once again. [11] In 1910, another AMNH expedition led by Brown discovered an Ankylosaurus specimen (AMNH 5214) in the Scollard Formation by the Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada. This specimen included a complete skull, mandibles, the first and only tail club known of this genus, as well as ribs, vertebrae, limb bones, and armor. In 1947 the American fossil collectors Charles M. Sternberg and T. Potter Chamney collected a skull and mandible (specimen CMN 8880, formerly NMC 8880), 5⁄ 8 mile) north of where the 1910 specimen was found. This is the largest-known Ankylosaurus skull, but it is damaged in places. A section of caudal vertebrae (specimen CCM V03) was discovered in the 1960s in the Powder River drainage, Montana, part of the Hell Creek Formation. In addition to these five incomplete specimens, many other isolated osteoderms and teeth have been found. [12] [10] Ankylosaurus was a low browsing generalist herbivore, perhaps more likely to eat fruit than earlier ankylosaurids. Niche partitioning ensured it wouldn't have competition issues with other herbivores. [7] Behind the scenes

Retrieved June 14, 2018 In the storyboard for Jurassic World, the Indominus rex proceeds to eat the Ankylosaurus after she kills it, suggesting that the fight between the two was not going to be in defense nor out of the Indominus' desire to kill it for sport. [12] In Seth Engstrom's concept art of the scene, it appears that there two Ankylosaurs that were to fight the Indominus as opposed to fleeing like in the film, the two Ankylosaurus are shown in a defensive stance when seeing the I. rex approach them. [13] An alternate opening to The Lost World: Jurassic Park was for a Japanese fishing boat to pull up a Parasaurolophus carcass in its net, to which the net breaks from the weight of the carcass and disappears into the waters below. [22] Paul Mejias supervised the construction of this sculpture [23] and even though this alternate opening scene never made the final cut, the eighteen-foot carcass was still used in the film in the scenes taking place in the Tyrannosaurus nest and the boneyard. [24] It was later repainted for Jurassic Park III [25] to represent the carcass that the T. rex was eating. [26]

In 2017, based on comparisons with more complete ankylosaurines, Arbour and Mallon estimated a length of 7.56 to 9.99m (24ft 9 + 1⁄ 2in to 32ft 9 + 1⁄ 2in) for CMN 8880, and 6.02 to 7.95m (19ft 9in to 26ft 1in) for AMNH 5214. Though the latter is the smallest specimen of Ankylosaurus, its skull is still larger than those of any other ankylosaurins. A few other ankylosaurs reached about 6m (20ft) in length. Because the vertebrae of AMNH 5214 are not significantly larger than those of other ankylosaurines, Arbour and Mallon considered their upper range estimate of nearly 10 meters (33ft) for large Ankylosaurus too long, and suggested a length of 8m (26ft) instead. Arbour and Mallon estimated a weight of 4.78t (5.27 short tons) for AMNH 5214, and tentatively estimated the weight of CMN 8880 at 7.95t (8.76 short tons).
