Scolosaurus
Scolosaurus was a tank-like dinosaur covered in bony plates and spikes. It walked on four legs and munched on low plants in what is now Canada, about 76 million years ago. Its body was so well armoured that even its eyelids had bone in them!1

Dintlha tse di monate
Scolosaurus had a tail club made of fused bones that it could swing to defend itself.1
The first fossil of Scolosaurus was found in 1914 by William Edmund Cutler, who was badly injured when the heavy skeleton fell on him.1
For many years, scientists thought Scolosaurus was the same as Euoplocephalus, but newer studies show it is a different genus.1
The holotype specimen includes rare skin impressions and bony plates (osteoderms) that show how its armour was arranged.1
Scolosaurus lived alongside other giant herbivores like Centrosaurus and hadrosaurs in the Dinosaur Park ecosystem.1
Its name comes from Greek words meaning 'pointed stake lizard', referring to the many spikes on its body.1

- Scientists debate whether the dinosaur Oohkotokia from Montana is actually the same as Scolosaurus, which would mean Scolosaurus lived in the USA too.1
