section below number eight ankylosaurus ankylosaurus
was essentially a tank version of a dinosaur it had a strong robust body
that was covered in heavy armor plates known as osteoderms its neck was
protected by bony 1/2 rings and it had two pairs of horns on his head much
larger than humans the ankylosaurus grew to be close to 26
feet long and weigh between five and eight tons its name translates as fused
lizard as the bones in its skull and other parts of the body were fused
together thus increase in its strength protected by its massive suit of armor
it wouldn't shy away from confronting perceived threats or engaging in combat
at the end of its tail the ankylosaurus had a massive Club which was made up of
other osteoderms it could swing its tail with great force and delivered
devastating blows that could even injure a tyrannosaurus one of his predatory
contemporaries needless to say that for us an ankylosaurus tail strike would be
fatal causing broken bones and severe internal
injuries number seven Triceratops the Triceratops lived
alongside the ankylosaurus and it disappeared as a species approximately
68 million years ago during the Cretaceous Paleogene extinction event
it's among the world's most recognisable dinosaurs the Triceratops his name
literally translates as three-horned face and is derived from its distinctive
bony frill and horns these features played a significant role in defense
against predators and territorial combat as well as courtship and dominance
displays the Triceratops had impressive proportions with an estimated length of
almost 30 feet and a weight in excess of 10 tons capable of defending itself a
large predators some have theorized that it was a herd animal meaning that it had
strengthened numbers as well it was herbivorous and therefore
wouldn't have preyed upon humans if they've been contemporaries let's
suppose hypothetically that a human would be seen by the
Triceratops as an aggressor they would be gored or trampled to death without
much effort on his part now before we move on answer this question with which
of these creatures did the Triceratops have frequent head-on encounters was it
a Tyrannosaurus B Stegosaurus C Diplodocus D Mosasaurus let us know what
you think in the comment section below and stay tuned to find out the right
answer number six heterodon - source
unlike other dinosaurs on our list the heterodon - soros wasn't massive or
particularly ferocious it was only about 4 feet long
most of which was his tail and weighed close to 15 pounds at first glance it
would seem that an adult human could easily dispose over heterodon - source
however what this creature lacked in mass it made up for through speed
flexibility and a dental structure this rather unique among dinosaurs its robust
four limbs each featured five fingers which were equipped for grasping its
long and slender hind limbs allowed for rapid bipedal movement as it ran the
dinosaur maintained balance through its long and flexible tail the heterodon
sorceresses body was covered in hundreds of bristle like structures which
provided protection against predation it had a vicious bite and three types of
teeth it had serrated canine like tusks incisor like teeth in the upper jaws and
chisel like teeth in its cheeks even though it could easily chewed through
human flesh fossil evidence suggests that the different toothed lizard was
mainly a herbivore number five seismosaurus
from one of the smallest known dinosaurs we move on to the largest creatures to
have ever roamed the earth sauropods such as brontosaurus or Diplodocus often
colloquially refer to as seismosaurus because the ground trembled when they
walked at the upper limits they were 60 feet tall over 130 feet long and weighed
130 tons even though their bodies were enormous they had relatively small heads
as well as very long necks and Tails strong pillar-like legs supported their
massive weight these creatures are often depicted as slow-moving peaceful
herbivores which they most likely were although not a predatory danger for
humans their incredible mass makes them worthy of inclusion on our list some
could break the sound barrier with the sheer crack of their tails and produced
miniature earthquakes by simply walking around even Dwarfs sauropods were among
the largest creatures in their ecosystem they could have squashed an adult human
and not even know it a seismosaurus tail whip would have killed you regardless of
where it landed on a human's body number four Carnotaurus this dinosaur's name
translates as meat-eating bull and is just as terrifying as the name would
imply Carnotaurus lived in South America during the later Cretaceous period 72 to
70 million years ago it was distinct from other coniferous dinosaurs due to
the thick horns above its eyes its skull was also different as it was shorter and
deeper than in any other large carnivores these features along with the
dinosaurs very muscular neck suggest biting species rivaling individuals
might have engaged in combat by ramming each other head-on using the horns as
shock absorbers pushes with the upper sides of the skull could also have been
among the movements used during fighting according to some studies this predator
was able to hunt down very large prey such as sauropods even though it was
large the Connor Taurus was lightly built this means that
in short bursts it could outrun an adult human in fact it was among the fastest
large theropods Carnotaurus was also more than 25 feet long and weighed close
to 2 tons if a human managed to dodge its demolishing ramming attacks they
would still have to avoid falling prey to bites from its long slender teeth
number 3 Utah Raptor when it comes to members of the dromaeosaurus a family
commonly known as Raptors the Velociraptor is usually the best known
while this dinosaur was definitely terrifying it doesn't compare in size
and strength to the youth or Raptor much like its name suggests it was found in
the area of present-day Utah taller than an average man and considerably heavier
this creature was the undisputed king of the Raptors it had considerable bite
strength as well as large curved claws on his second toes these dagger-like
claws could measure almost ten inches in length and were perfectly adapted for
slashing through flesh it also had claws on its fore limbs and feathers that
covered most of its body the Utah Raptor was a fast and ferocious
predator that some suspect was also capable of hunted in packs had we come
existed with his creature they would have most likely become its prey in a
hypothetical encounter will be chased down by several Utah Raptors or ambushed
by a solitary hunter repeated bites would bring you to the ground where they
would disembowel you using its claws so which dinosaur did the Triceratops have
aggressive encounters with if you guessed a Tyrannosaurus Rex then you
were right fossil evidence such as t-rex tooth marks on Triceratops his bones
indicates that these two creatures battled each other millions of years ago
one fossil showed tooth marks on a broken but partially healed Triceratops
horn while it's unclear which animal initiated the fight the fact that the
Triceratops remains showed signs of healing indicates that it survived the
encou - number two - ran asaurus rex there's a
reason why we've used the Tyrannosaurus Rex as the main aggressor when
describing other dinosaurs on our list it is simply put one of the strongest
the most intimidating predators to have ever roamed our planet t-rex was a
theropod a type of dinosaur characterized by three toned limbs and
hollow bones members of this order among the largest carnivores ever known
t-rex had a massive skull which was balanced by a long heavy tail his four
limbs were proportioned to be short and featured two clawed fingers while his
hind limbs were long and powerful the T Rex's enormous skull delivered the
strongest bite force of all terrestrial animals it would tower over an adult
reaching a height of up to 12 feet while weighing over 15 tonnes it lived in
Western North America where as many paleontologists agree it was both a
scavenger and an apex predator however as depicted in Jurassic Park 3
there's another theropod that would have been a notable t-rex challenger for the
title of scariest carnivore number one Spinosaurus
there's an ongoing debate of which was the king of all theropods and that this
video we've chosen the Spinosaurus that's because it was one of the very
few dinosaurs capable of swimming which means the people wouldn't have been safe
in the water either its aquatic prowess is somewhat reflected by its skull which
was more similar to that of a modern-day crocodile than that of other giant
theropods his four limbs were possibly longer than those of other theropods
which was most likely another aquatic adaptation the most distinctive
spinosaurus feature was the sail on his back which was made up of very long
spines that grew out of its back vertebrae and were connected by skin the
function of the sail has been debated and the various emerging theories have
included heat regulation or dominance displays just imagine thinking you've
escaped the theropods attack by jumping in the water just to see a giant bony
sail rapidly moving towards you should the
Spinosaurus mistake you for a large fish its main prey the next phase would
involve the predator clam penis giant jaws with needle-like teeth on your body
if that doesn't kill you you're essentially faced with surviving a
creature that's longer than 50 feet heavier than 20 tonnes and equipped with
a giant crocodile head thanks for watching which dinosaur do you think is
most dangerous let us know in the comments section below
