Description: Minmi is a small, armored dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 110 million years ago. It was a member of the group of dinosaurs known as ankylosaurs, which were characterized by their heavy, bony armor plates and spikes. Minmi was about 3 meters (10 feet) long and weighed around 200 kilograms (440 pounds). It had a short, wide snout and a relatively small brain, which suggests that it may have been a herbivore. Its armor plates were arranged in rows down its back and tail, and it had small spikes on its shoulders and hips. Minmi is known from a few fossil specimens found in Queensland, Australia, and it is thought to have lived in a dry, open environment.
