Naturally, it’s Ankylosaurus. Just look at this armoured tactical turtle and tell me you do not love this silly little guy!
Just wanting to eat his plants. Wanna gnaw on him? Tough luck, it hurts and you cannot crack that shell. Also, he will fucking break your kneecaps with his built-in hammer while you’re bothering him.
Spirit animal.
Ankies rock! Check out this mummified then petrified Nodosaur (a type of Ankylosaur)

It is so INSANE they found this. Just the astronomical odds of everything coming together like that…
Agreed. It’s mind blowing
I am glad I showed it to my mother before she died. Because I was like, “they found a fucking dinosaur, LOOK AT IT!”, and she was like “Holy shit!”.
Heck yeah! Borealopelta in the house!!! Have you seen this in person? I was thoroughly intimidated! It was like looking at a dragon or something. So cool!
I have not been up to Alberta yet. I’ve been wanting to take my son
The Tyrrell has some fantastic displays! Their Tyrannosaur section really makes you empathize with the Jurassic Park lawyer. Black Beauty is particularly magnificent. I highly recommend the town of Drumheller as well. Lots of wacky dino statues around town. They lean heavily into the motif.
