趣味知識

Bissektipelta had a very large part of its brain devoted to smell, so it could sniff out food and predators easily.1

Its skull had a unique Y-shaped groove pattern on top, which helped scientists tell it apart from other ankylosaurs.1 3

Bissektipelta lived about 92 to 90 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period.1 2

This dinosaur had a network of tiny blood vessels in its skull that helped keep its brain cool.1

Bissektipelta could hear low sounds, like deep rumbles, which might have helped it communicate with others.1
