From the late Jurassic period, these “covered lizards” may have lacked a bit in the brain-to-body ratio department, but are still a crowd favorite with their impressive sets of defensive bony plates and spiked tails. The body was pitched forward with the head no higher than a few feet off the ground, allowing the tail more free range to fend off a hungry Allosaurus.
