{# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Key differences (from DinoComparison model) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}

主要差异

  • Ankylosaurus (10 m, ~6,000 kg) and Stegosaurus (9 m, ~5,000 kg) were similar in size but very different in armor design.
  • Ankylosaurus had a massive tail club capable of shattering bone; Stegosaurus had a spiked tail (thagomizer) for slashing.
  • Ankylosaurus was covered in osteoderms (bone embedded in skin); Stegosaurus had large upright plates along its back.
  • Stegosaurus lived in the Late Jurassic; Ankylosaurus lived in the Late Cretaceous — separated by ~80 million years.
  • Both were quadrupedal herbivores relying on passive and active defense rather than flight from predators.
