The heavily armored Euoplocephalus dinosaur on display in life-sized animatronic form at the 2010 California State Fair. Euoplocephalus meaning 'well-armored head' was one of the most common dinosaurs to live in North America around 70 million years ago. Because they were so plentiful, their fossils have been found in a number of locations. Euoplocephalus was a large armored dinosaur, measuring about 20 feet (6 m) long; it weighed about 2 tons. While it was 2.4 metres (7.9 ft) wide, it was low-slung, with short, stout legs. The rear legs were larger than the front legs and all four limbs were tipped with hoof-like claws. Its wide head had a horny, toothless beak, small, peg-like cheek teeth, bony horns, and a small brain. These fossils show that Euoplocephalus was well protected. Even its eyelids had bony protrusions protecting the eyes. Its entire top side was heavily protected from carnivores with thick, oval plates embedded (fused) in its leathery skin, rows of large spikes along its body, large horns that projected from the back of the head, and a raised, club-like tail. It even had bony plates as protection for its eyes and a pair of big spines on the sides of its head. Only its under-belly was unplated. Flipping it over was the only way to wound it. Euoplocephalus had four short, sturdy legs (the rear legs were larger than the front legs), and a short neck. Euoplocephalus had spikes or horns on the side of its head, and also running down its armored back. Its stiff tail ended with a hammer, which it would have used to try and break the legs of enemies such as tyrannosaurus. Euoplocephalus was an ankylosaur, whose brain small and whose intelligence (as measured by its relative brain to body weight, or EQ) was low among the dinosaurs.
