Shantungosaurus

What you do to try to fend them off is; Pick the 5 most recent images in your gallery and rank yourself on whether you are gonna successfully defend the house, or get curb-stomped by some pissed off dinosaurs.

Might turn this into a series if i ever get bored enough

Anyways, here is my.... uhh.. loadout..

I think im gonna get curb-stomped by big hadros

The Desert Titan (Erimosaurus Giganteus) is an Austrokritosaurian Hadrosaur from South America. It's much larger than other Austrokritosaurs, being closer in size to Magnapaulia or Shantungosaurus than Secernosaurus or Bonapartesaurus.

The Armored Tyrant is about 10 metric tons, the Desert Titan is about 9.5 to 11 tons.

I'm a little late to the party, but don't worry, I won't leave without giving you guys my ranking.

5. Shantungosaurus

5th place was a heavily contested spot, with Shantungosaurus, Barosaurus, Therizinosaurus, Ankylosaurus, and others all competing. However, I settled on this chonker because, as a Dinopedian, I love hadrosaurs.

4. Spinosaurus

Those who know me well, and even those who don't know me well, know I love Spinosaurus. I have always loved it, from when I was an arrogant fanboy back in 2020 to the semi-fanboy state I'm currently at. Plus, you know I love weird dinosaurs, so of course I had to include the weirdest dinosaur of them all.

3. Arambourgiania

Arambourgiania does not get as much love as it deserves. Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx get all the attention for being more complete specimens, even though Mark Witton's estimate makes Arambourgiania the largest flying animal to ever live. Azhdarchids have always been my favorite pterosaurs, not just because of their size, but also because they are so unique.

2. Allosaurus

Ah, Allosaurus amplexus. My profile picture. The animal that once got me cancelled on this wiki. Allosaurus was the first dinosaur that I ever considered my favorite, and I love it to this day. As the largest species, A. amplexus is my favorite, though I love all of them.

1. Eotriceratops

Even when the other places in my ranking may change, Eotriceratops is never dethroned (at least, not permanently). Like Triceratops but bigger, this dinosaur perfectly describes me because I'm a herbivore, I get defensive, and I'm a chonker.

Comment if this post made you rethink your ranking.

The most recent thing I could find says 13 tonnes but I'm not sure if that's correct

^The fire-breathing Parasaurolophus theory has nothing to do with this.

As we all know, hippopotamuses and elephants kill more people than lions on average every year, with cape buffalo and rhinoceros being close contenders. So yeah, herbivores aren't gentle at all. Skipping cliche ceratopses and ankylosaurids, how much of a threat would you imagine hadrosaurs in a movie and how would they kill people aside from just trampling them?

-Megistotherium and Ceratosaurus

-Smilodon and Dilophosaurus

-Giganotosaurus and Shantungosaurus

Note the dentary used is 8% larger instead of the more accurate 6.6%

-Dilophosaurus and Ceratosaurus

-Saurophaganax and Carcharodontosaurus

-Megistotherium and Barinasuchus

-“Attenboroughs Giant” and Mosasaurus

Colossohadros Bubalus (Giant Hadrosaur Buffalo). This is a giant Hadrosaur related to either Edmontosaurus or Shantungosaurus. It is based on skeletal diagrams of both of the dinosaurs mentioned above.

Length: 15 meters

Weight: 12 tons (making it even larger than a Gwangi, one of the only dinosaurs with a common name)

Guh

Maip Macrothorax(3.9 Tonnes) compared to the largest Parasaurolophus that isn’t known from extremely poor remains(4.4 Tonnes)

Kem kem rivals, Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus(7.7-9 Tonnes depending on what you use) and Carcharodontosaurus(6.9-8.2 Tonnes)

Another rivalry, Tyrannosaurus rex(11-12.5 Tonnes) and Triceratops(9 Tonnes)

Based Tyrannosaurus and Giganotosaurus(11-12.5 Tonnes and 1.01 Tonnes respectively) and Shitungosoreass(16 Tonnes)
