Ankylosaurus in Dinolets
Ankylosaurus is egg number 5 of 12. In the game it's brown, and its special feature is the one the voice calls out: "A club tail!" The voice says its name as "ANG-kih-low-SORE-us".
In Feed it eats plants, and from level 2 your child is asked to pick the right food for it. Once it has hatched, it joins in the other games too.
