DinosaursSummary Note: With vicious and violent beasts such as Tyrannosaurus rex on the loose, the odds of a peaceful herbivore surviving an encounter with a carnivorous dinosaur seem long.

Stegosauruses had plates and spikes to deter carnivores. Other dinosaurs, such as Ankylosaurs, had tough, plated bodies, like tanks!
