Tyrannosaurus rex vs Ankylosaurus  magniventris

 

Ankylosaurus

 

Ankylosaurus is a genus of ankylosaurid from the very end of the Cretaceous Period (between about 66.5–66 Ma ago) in western North America. Although a complete skeleton has not been discovered and several other dinosaurs are represented by more extensive fossil material,Ankylosaurus is often considered the Archetypal armored dinosaur. Other ankylosaurids shared its well-known features—the heavily armored body and massive bony tail club—but Ankylosaurus was the largest known member of the family.

Tyrannosaurus Is a genus of coelurosaurian theropod from the cretaceous of north america. Like Other tyrannosaurids, Tyrannosaurus had a massive skull balanced by a long, heavy tail. Relative to its large and powerful hind limbs, Tyrannosaurus fore limbs were short but unusually powerful for their size and had two clawed digits. Although other theropods rivaled or exceeded Tyrannosaurus rex in size, it was the largest known tyrannosaurid and one of the largest known land predators. In fact, the most complete specimen measures up to 12.3 m (40 ft) in length up to 4 metres (13 ft) tall at the hips,and up to 6.8 metric tons (7.5 short tons) in weight.

Well we do argue about Spino's diet about as much as Rex vs Spino, but that also.

@ spino rex, I get bored of them.

and if the size chart is accurate I don't see why rex would win with Ease. It is adaptted to taking armored prey. The worst that could happen to rex is a cracked shin.

That is true. I think we can all agree that, when fish were plentiful, it ate fish. Any other time, perhaps scavenging and hunting some Hadrosaurs. The young, old, weak and sick, like any predator would go for.

@Spino I understand that, just didn't want this topic to get closed. 

Anyway, as I said, my opinion on this is that it's like a coyote trying to get an armadillo. It might, but it's generally not worth the effort. So I say that neither wins. It is a draw.

that got...random..

Well, this was a predator/ prey relationship. Anky got more defensively built as the years rolled by in the thousands/ millions, and rex developed bone crushing dentition. Though the prey of choice was probably hadrosaurs(Edmontosaurus regalis), Tyrannosaurus wouldn't pass one of these guys up because it has the weaponry to deal with it. But, do take into effect most land predators today have a ~30% of actually capturing and killing their prey, so this isn't going to be an easy meal in more then one way.

I'd have to say50/50 with the slight edge to the anky.

Well, i suppose if it could get ahold of its neck, it wouldnt have to worry about getting hit by its tail, which ultimately means the end for Anky due to having no protection under its neck, and the armor on top of its head and neck would amplify the damage under its neck.

In my 50/50 scenario, That's not even resulting in death(for the rex anyway) Most times, a Tyrannosaurus wouldn't be able to get at the underbelly of this thing, and there's no way i see it flipping the anky over. Anky's defenses were more deterents then ofenssive defense, it's tail is disproportionally short in retrospect to its body, and while i haven't read anything on the range of motion the ankylosaurus' tail had, i doubt it was very signifigant.

Actually thats the case with most animals that have those accesories, like the thorned lizard, which is simply most of the time more of a "do i look appetizing to you?" kind of thing.
