Produktbeschreibung

Covered in armoured plates and sharp spikes, weighing more than an elephant, and swinging a deadly tail club capable of smashing through bone, Ankylosaurus is an Ultimate Dinosaur. But one we know very little about. Why have so few of their skeletons been found? Could they really have used their tails to take down an attacking Tyrannosaurus rex? Find out about this indestructible dinosaur and 7 more in the Ultimate Dinosaurs series.

Pop a dinosaur in your pocket! Introductions from Chris Packham, Steve Backshall and Dr Jane Goodall. These are the most up-to-date dino books in 66 million years, also available in audio download!
