Height - 4 ft (1.2 m) tall at the hips
Weight - 3-4 tons
Facts: Ankylosaurus is a tank-like dinosaur, with many thick, oval plates fused into its leathery thick skin. It also has two rows of spikes along its body and has spikes on the back of its head covering its blind spot. This dinosaur has a club like tail. It also has plates for protection over its eyes.
Triceratops
Length - 30 feet (9 m) long
Height - 7 ft (2 m) tall at the hips
Weight- 6-12 tons
Facts: Triceratops is a rhinoceros dinosaur, with three horns on its large skull. It has two large horns about 3 feet or 1 meter long above its eyes. It also has one small above its parrot-like beak. It has a large skull, up to 10 feet (3 m) long
Who do you think would win in head to head battle: the mighty Ankylosaurus or the pathetic Triceratops?
Both of these dinosaurs have a natural weapon; the Ankylosaurus has it's club-like tail, and the Triceratops has it's Popsicle sticks it calls horns. The Ankylosaurus mighty tail can break bones and travel at incredible speeds. The Triceratops flimsy horns can only travel as fast the Triceratops can ram and it's minuscule horns are not even flexible. The Ankylosaurus also has its many spikes along its body and small horns on its head. This proves that the Ankylosaurus completely over powers the Triceratops.
The Ankylosaurus also has many defenses as well. The Ankylosaurus has its large shell that covers all of its body except for it's under belly. The Ankylosaurus also has many spikes on its back and for many small predators climbing on a dinosaurs back is usually a first attack strategy. The Ankylosaurus also has plates protecting its eyes and horns that cover its blind spot making it fully protected. The Triceratops only has its large skull that would shatter just at the sight of the Ankylosauruses tail. This proves that the Ankylosaurus has far better defense.
It is true that the Ankylosaurus is slower that the Triceratops but it gains so much more. It's shell is very heavy but the Triceratops even at its top speed could not even dent the Ankylosauruses shell. The Ankylosauruses tail weighs a ton and it is amazing it can just lift it, not to mention it can travel a incredible speeds as well. The Ankylosaurus does not even need speed because it will never back down from a fight and would never lose. In fact I have seen a scientific video that quotes the T-Rex would run away from a fight against the Ankylosaurus. This video is located at the bottom of the post.
Many archeologist's and scientist say that the Ankylosaurus is far better than most other dinosaurs. It's name Ancylosaurus means tank-like dinosaur and the Triceratops is called the rhinoceros dinosaur; just by the sound of what their names mean you already know that the Ankylosaurus is far better. The scientific video shows the Ankylosaurus breaking a T-Rex's femur one of it's strongest bones. The Ankylosaurus also has many features that other dinosaurs contain. The Ankylosaurus is truly an unstoppable dinosaur.
Now knowing all this information who do you think would win?

u should make it a tank vs a tyranasauruas rex
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your post! I found it very intriguing and convincing. In my opinion, I would agree with you. With this new knowledge I've gained from your post, I'd also say the Ankylosaurus would defeat the wimpy Triceratops. But, although the Triceratops is considered wimpy, it is because it is being compared to the other dino.I think any dinosaur would intimidate and overtake us, don't you think?
