If you took the Ankylosaurus and Diplodocus, and then mashed them together, you would get the Shunosaurus. This Late Jurassic Chinese Sauropod had the best of both worlds, the speed of the diplodocus’s tail and the might of the Ankylosaurus’ club. Armed with this very unique weapon, the Shunosaurus was able to conquer its environment, outnumbering all others 9 to 1.
