It is a medium-sized ceratopsian dinosaur that lived in the Late Cretaceous period, mainly distributed in Mongolia. The body length is approximately between 2 and 4.5 meters, and the weight ranges from 150 to 800 kilograms. Among them, the body shape difference introduced by the Ankylosaurus as a standard is obvious. Their heads are relatively large, occupying about one-third of their body length, and they have a prominent neck shield at the back to protect their necks from attacks. Although belonging to the ceratopsian class, the head of Anchioceratops did not have horns, but had a small protrusion on the nasal bone. The mouth is located in the lower front of the head, and the front end has evolved into a keratinized beak, which can help them easily bite through thick plant roots.
