They would always stand up to predators just like modern day bison always stand up to wolves and never run from them

Portraying hadrosaurs running away from predators is inaccurate and you should stop doing it
>They would always stand up to predators just like modern day bison always stand up to wolves and never run from them
I don't know if poor bait or just moronic
Bison have horns and a massive skull to support ramming.
Hadrosaurs were basically unarmored.
Hadrosaurs were like horses. Not particularly adapted for any specific form of combat, and in horses that means they're mean as all hell, so my guess is Hadrosaurs may have been shitheads. Reptiles could work differently though. They DID however have massive tails. And those could almost certainly cripple unlucky Tyrannosaurs.
Horses are fast.
Hadrosaurs don't appear to be any faster than contemporaneous theropods.
For all the people in this thread arguing about hadrosaurs and theropods, yes the larger ones like edmontosaurus could pretty handily fight off t-rex as adults.
But predators don't go after the big adult bulls in nature, they go after the sick, young, and elderly. For instance, tigers are modern solitary hunters which take on gaur which are the largest and most muscular cows on the planet, and they usually go for the weaker ones, although successful predation on adults has happened but is far more rare.
In the end, edmontosaurus could probably kick a rexes ass, but the rex could also probably kill an edmontosaurus if it plays its cards right due to predators knowing how to go for vitals and fight for a living whereas herbivores kinda just try wildly clobbering things into submission.
It should also be noted that hadrosaurs were quickly becoming the dominant herbivores on the planet by a wide margin near the end of the cenozoic and were incredibly successful animals.

Wrong article, I meant to post this one.

well delete your old post in a few minutes, or let it stay up and make a fool out of yourself
I already know that I'm a fool you fool
you still have 8 minutes to delete your other post
Okay, it's been 8 minutes.
Exactly, just the same way bison always fight off wolves and never run away from them
I remember reading somewhere that they very rarely reached 40+ feet, the average Edmontosaurus specimen is around 30

Thread Hidden: No (You)s for (You) Edition
fun fact bison run from predators all the time and that's with the big horns and weapons, that hadrosaurs didnt have
Please stop pushing the stereotype that prey animals are helpess, they are most of the time most larger than their predators
>they are most of the time most larger than their predators
and yet they still scatter like rats when hunting dogs 1/10th of their body weight chase them. that just makes them even bigger pussies iyam
thats not a bison, thats a water buffalo
Hadrosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Igaunodon, etc.
Some run, some fight back. When cornered, they fight for their survival. Simple as.
>Igaunodon
I don't care about moronic papers or anything of the sort, i refuse to believe the animal that had a stabbing implement on it's hands did not use them to stab things
It may have been for bark stripping, like Townsends uses a greenwood spud in this video at about 12:45 in this video
Obviously an iguanadon isn't making canoes, so they don't need to get great sheets of bark off in one clear bit, but if you live where there's woody decidous plants, the best food in the "off season" is cambium and it'd probably be better to have something other than your teeth to try and get into the bark to get to the cambium.
Okay yes sure, but an anteaters claws are also mostly used to dig into termit mounds, that doesn't mean that they can't skin a jaguar with them as well, animals use whatever they have and can use to protect themselves.
Reminds me of when morons tried to argue Triceratops horns were only for display
>I WARNED YOU ABOUT BUFFALO BRO
This is why you don't frick with Cape Buffalo.
>they used to be BIGGER
What happened? Did humans stab them all to death?
went after the ones with the biggest horns, so kinda, yeah
Wasn't just their horns that were bigger. THEY were bigger generally.
(I apologize for the hideous thirdie)
Yup. Same thing that happened with the Ancient Bison. Humans stabbed them so much they shrank into the virgin American Bison.
Climate change
The real question is was every ancient cape buffalo each provisioned with an egret?
That's actually a growth on the horn, it works as a decoy to attract actual egrets which eat parasites and keep the buffalo clean. It may have been used for sexual display as well
>egrets which eat parasites and keep the buffalo clean
Lol. Cattle egrets eat some flies, but not bovine parasites. They follow bovines around because the bovine hooves expose invertebrates in the soil, which is what they really eat.
It should also be noted they aren’t purely interested in parasites. They have a tendency to pick at open wounds on them if there are any, which obviously isn’t very helpful
Got to love it when literal fantasy art is orders of magnitude more accurate than "scientific" depictions
But it isn't, those hadrosaurs are larger than the theropod, they would stomp it to death instead of running away
That piece isn't accurate in the slightest
>nondescript generic theropod with crocodile osteoderms and fricked arms
Evolutionist scum
evolution is fake, but it did happen
Paleonationalism NOW
Haha, the autism has been doubled!
Remember what they took from you…
I do. That's why I'm working on getting it back.
he makes a good point, however, pterosaurs aren't dinosaurs.
He's not talking about himself.
