Did Ankylosaurus Live in Herds?

Typically, ankylosaur fossils are found as individual specimens. Their tank-like bodies and short legs were likely inefficient for long-distance walking in herds suggesting that they lived a solitary lifestyle with a limited home range, similar to that of modern-day rhinoceros.

Did Ankylosaurus live with Trex?

Although it lived alongside a nodosaurid ankylosaur, their ranges and ecological niches do not appear to have overlapped, and Ankylosaurus may have inhabited upland areas. Ankylosaurus also lived alongside dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, and Edmontosaurus.
