Who would win a fight a stegosaurus or an ankylosaurus?

Answer 1

diplodocus would win due to its sheer size and long, whip like tail. in a pack, allosaurus would be able to take down a sick or juvenile diplodocus. if an allosaurus pack was large, then they could tackle a fully grown diplodocus

Answer 2

Stegosaurus was very slow, with a top speed of 4 to 5 miles per hour because its hind limbs were so much longer than its forelimbs. Stegosaurus was 23 to 30 feet long and weighed up to 5.5 tons. Their best weapons were the four tail spikes, or thagomizers, they had. By pivoting on their hind legs, they could keep their tail toward their opponent and if they struck the enemy, it would receive a painful, sometimes even lethal, wound.

Iguanodon was up to 33 to 43 feet long and weighed about 3.5 tons on average. They were far faster than Stegosaurus, but the only weapons they had were the claws on their two thumbs.

In a fight, a clever Iguanodon would do its best to stay in front of the enemy and attack the Stegosaurus's face using its claws. However, the Stegosaurus would quickly pivot and try to strike the Iguanodon, and Iguanodon's claws wouldn't be enough to win the fight. Most likely it would be a standoff until the Iguanodon just gave up. Otherwise, the Stegosaurus would probably eventually win by delivering a nasty blow with its tail.

In real life, though, Iguanodon never encountered Stegosaurus. Even if they did, they were both peaceful herbivores and wouldn't have any reason to fight each other.

Answer 3

Stegosaurus could just injure predators with its spike tail. Ankylosaurus could just CRUSH A PREDATOR'S BONE IN JUST ONE TAIL SMASH!

So I would say Ankylosaurus would win
