Tatankacephalus was an armoured dinosaur that walked on four legs and munched on plants. It had a thick, bony head and a big ridge at the back of its skull. It lived in what is now Montana, USA, about 100 million years ago.51

Iinyani ezimnandi
Tatankacephalus had a dome on its front skull, like some other armoured dinosaurs, which may have helped protect its brain.1
It had a large ridge at the back of its head that hid the back part of the skull when viewed from above.1
Its eye socket was round, and the hole at the back of the skull (foramen magnum) pointed down and backward.1
Unlike some later ankylosaurs, Tatankacephalus still had teeth in the front of its mouth (premaxillary teeth).1
It had a visible opening on the side of its skull (lateral temporal fenestra), which later ankylosaurs lost.1
Tatankacephalus is known from a skull and some other bones, but no complete skeleton has been found yet.1

Inyaniso ngeentsomi
Intsomi: Some people think all armoured dinosaurs were slow and clumsy.
Inyaniso: Scientists don't know exactly how fast Tatankacephalus moved, but many armoured dinosaurs were likely able to walk steadily and may have been quicker than they look.5

- Tatankacephalus was named by William L. Parsons and Kristen M. Parsons in 2009, based on a skull and other bones found in the Cloverly Formation of Montana.51
- Kusaxoxwa ngayo
- Scientists debate whether Tatankacephalus belongs to the ankylosaurid family or the nodosaurid family, because it has features of both groups.51
