Even its eyelids were covered with movingbony plates and its tail had a defensive club thatwas formed by four bony growths fused together.Although such extensive body armour might havegiven this dinosaur a fierce appearance, it wasactually a slow, awkward-moving herbivore thatfed on low-lying vegetation.
