Euoplocephalus (name meaning "Well-Armed Head") is a genus of very large, herbivorous ankylosaurid dinosaurs, living during the Late Cretaceous of Canada.

In the Series 2 episode "Super Croc II: River of Death", a herd of Euoplocephalus (consisting of six adults, and four juveniles) were brought to the park from Late Cretaceous Alberta 75 million years ago. They reside in the Ankylosaur Woodland Enclosure and recently welcomed hatchlings into the herd.

Trivia
