Dino Rescue Patients – Lee

Dino Patients Posted October 13, 2022

Lee

(Ankylosaurus)
Size
30 Feet Long
Diet
Herbivores
Period
Late Cretaceous
Fun Fact
Ankylosaurus also had a club-shaped tail. If a predator attacked, the low and heavy reptile would swing its tail to defend itself.

Dino Story

While Lee was foraging for food, a boulder rolled on top of him from a nearby cliff. A hiker tried to push the boulder off of Lee and free him, but decided to call the experts at CMA to assess his injuries instead. Just like our sea turtle patients with carapace injuries, Lee was brought into CMA to care for his fractured bony plates and to monitor him for long-term injuries such as paralysis.

Treatment Updates

10.12.22

Lee arrived at CMA’s Rescue Center and will be rehabilitated for the injuries he sustained.
