Talarurus

Talarurus ( ; meaning "Wicker tail") is an extinct genus of ankylosaur dinosaur. It lived about 90 million years ago during the Upper Cretaceous  in what is now Mongolia. 

Talarurus was a hippopotamus-sized, heavily built, ground-dwelling, quadrupedal herbivore. It could grow up to about  long. Like other ankylosaurs it had heavy armour and a club on its tail. Talarurus is one of the oldest known ankylosaurines from Asia and one of the better-known ankylosaurs from Mongolia.Park J.Y; Lee Y.N; Currie P.J; Kobayashi Y; Koppelhus E; Barsbold R; Mateus O; Lee S. & Kim S.H. 2019.
