So can you list who dies first, who dies second, and who dies third, who dies fourth, who dies fifth, who dies sixth, who dies sevenths, who dies eighth, who dies ninth, who dies tenth, who dies eleventh, who dies twelveth, and who dies last. because I'm pretty sure there are some combatants are completely outclassed.CCFB said:The Jaguar probably gets quite far though
Aren't the leopard and jaguar virtually identical as well as the ostrich and the dinosaur at number 10?CCFB said:I agree with RRTheEndMan apart from the Hippo being at the top, Carno before,and Quetzal before that. If you put a Bull instead of a Cow, the Bull would've probably gotten up to 9.
Weird, they seem to have similar fighting styles and sizes. Even their coloration is similar. Also what about the ostrich and the dinosaur up to number 10? They have similar body shapes, sizes, and speed.CCFB said:No, Jaguars are quite a bit larger than Leopards
It's wings are fragile according to it's wiki page, it's not good for close hand combat against things much stronger than it. It could kill prey stronger than it but would struggle.RRTheEndMan said:I'm sorry, but how can someone hurt a flying?
Hippos are really agressive, they've killed more humans than lions.Male hippos are very agressive and frequently fight each otherHyper Anon said:It's a herbivore, which are generally not as aggressive as carnivores. Which it is fighting. It's not very fast compared to the superhuman carnivores.

Also Carno's teeth arent really adapted to killing big animals like hippos and is more suited for killing small prey and their, carno jaw were also not very wide and was likely used against smaller prey, the largest crown tooth of abelisaur were only about 5-6 cm in length vs the hippos 6 cm skin.
So yeah, Carno's wont probably make some fatal damage to the hippo with its bite because of the hippos thick skin and its convex body.The Hippo could do more damage to the carno because of its huge sabers and massive jaws.50 cm long canines and 40 cm long scissors
Also like CCFB, the hippo is larger and more powerful than the carno, plus the hippo is more stable than the carno because its a quadruped and lower to the ground.This plus the hippos agressiveness would make it hard for the carno to topple it over
As for agility, just because the carno is a theropod doesnt mean its going to be more agile than the hippo.The hippo could probably outmaneuver the carno because of the carnos high rotational inertia
The turning agility of theropod dinosaurs may have been severely limited by the large rotational inertia of their horizontal trunks and tails. Bodies with mass distributed far from the axis of rotation have much greater rotational inertia than bodies with the same mass distributed close to the axis of rotation. In this study, we increased the rotational inertia about the vertical axis of human subjects 9.2-fold, to match our estimate for theropods the size of humans, and measured the ability of the subjects to turn. To determine the effect of the increased rotational inertia on maximum turning capability, five subjects jumped vertically while attempting to rotate as far as possible about their vertical axis. This test resulted in a decrease in the average angle turned to 20 % of the control value. We also tested the ability of nine subjects to run as rapidly as possible through a tight slalom course of six 90┬░ turns. When the subjects ran with the 9.2-fold greater rotational inertia, the average velocity through the course decreased to 77 % of the control velocity. When the subjects ran the same course but were constrained as to where they placed their feet, the average velocity through the course decreased to 65 % of the control velocity. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that rotational inertia may have limited the turning performance of theropods. They also indicate that the effect of rotational inertia on turning performance is dependent on the type of turning behavior. Characters such as retroverted pubes, reduced tail length, decreased body size, pneumatic vertebrae and the absence of teeth reduced rotational inertia in derived theropods and probably, therefore, improved their turning agility. To reduce rotational inertia, theropods may have run with an arched back and tail, an S-curved neck and forelimbs held backwards against the body.
Anyway, the hippo should beat the carno most of the time
I kinda agree, the dinosaur is basically 2 dimensional. It's neck in it's profile looks like a pteradactyl got shoryukened. That should make it a vulnerable target for the bites of dinosaurs and what not.TheSandman31 said:Chances are the Quatzalcoatlus gets killed before it can even fly. Its very clumsy on ground and is basically a flying stickman

It weighed about 155 pounds and had a 34-foot wingspan, making it not far off the size of an F-16 fighter jet. It's the largest flying animal ever discovered - any larger, and it would have had to walk.
Researchers couldn't help but wonder how such a heavy animal, with relatively flimsy wings to boot, became airborne. Professor Sankar Chatterjee of Texas Tech University used a computer simulation to find out.
"This animal probably flew like an albatross or a frigate bird in that it could soar and glide very well. It spent most of its time in the air. But when it comes to takeoff and landing, they're so awkward that they had to run," says Chatterjee.
"If it were taking off from a cliff, then it was OK. But if Quetzalcoatlus were on the ground, it probably had to find a sloping area like a river bank, and then run quickly on four feet, then two to pick up enough power to get into the air. It needed an area to taxi."
There's been speculation about what the animal actually looked like, with some researchers suggesting recently that it could have used its forelimbs as a sort of catapult for a standing takeoff, in the same way as a common vampire bat.
However, Chatterjee says computer modeling shows this was impossible, as flight performance seems to degrade systematically with body size. Above a particular size, there's just not enough power, and flapping flight isn't possible.
"Its enormous wings must have been difficult to manage," says Chatterjee . "Each wing had at least a 16-foot span, so during its full downstroke it would smash its wing resulting in crash landing. A standing takeoff of flying of such a heavy animal violates the laws of physics."
Like today's condors and other large birds, Quetzalcoatlus probably relied on updraft to remain in the air. As a result, it had long, narrow, flat and pointed wings like those of modern seabirds - but these were structurally weak for vigorous flapping, causing the pterosaur difficulty during ground takeoff.
"Sooner or later the animal would come to the ground, especially during foraging and nesting," says Chatterjee.
"Like albatrosses and the Great Kori bustards, which weigh 20 to 40 pounds, ground takeoff was agonizing and embarrassing for Quetzalcoatlus. With a slight headwind and as little as a 10-degree downhill slope, an adult would be able to take off in a bipedal running start to pick up flying speed, just like a hang glider pilot."
Don't pull that physics shit on me. Carno could just go at the Hippo at the right angle.

I'm pretty sure the stego's spikes were for stabbing and not for slicing.
Yeah. It does. Like in the case of the Dinosaurs all it does is make opinions on how they lived, hunted, etc.CCFB said:Real life doesn't have opinions
