Dinosaurs Evolved by "Offense and Defense"

Armored dinosaurs (stegosaurids and ankylosaurids) evolved plate-like and spike-like protrusions and armor on their bodies for "ultimate" defense. Carnivorous dinosaurs such as tyrannosaurids and megaraptorids, in turn, evolved larger bodies, teeth, and claws to counter these herbivorous dinosaurs. This exhibition will explore the evolution of dinosaurs by comparing both types, with "offense and defense" as its key theme.
