b'It\\u2019s dinosaur time again! This episode, the spotlight is on the \\u201cliving tanks\\u201d of the Mesozoic, the armored ankylosaurs. These impressive creatures were covered head to tail in dazzling armor that puts most other fortified animals to shame. We\\u2019ll discuss what exactly they may have been doing with that armor and how they fit into dinosaur-filled ecosystems. Oh, and we\\u2019ll talk about those tail clubs, too.\\nIn the news: shark-bitten whales, an early hominin skull, \\u201ckiller\\u201d claws, and pterosaur poop.\\nTime markers: Intro & Announcements: 00:00:00News: 00:04:30Main discussion: 00:32:00Mid-discussion break: 01:01:00Patron question: 01:40:00\\nCheck out our blog for bonus info and pictures:http://commondescentpodcast.wordpress.com/\\nThe Common Descent Store is open!
