Tarbosaurus vs Ankylosaurus

Who will win? I'm guessing Ankylosaurus.61.230.78.58 02:18, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Screenshots

Here are some VERY GOOD screenshots: [1] Can't understand the text though, it's in another language. 61.230.90.241 06:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Akylosaurus?

I recently visited the BBC's official site on TTAKD [2] and they display it as an "ankylosaur". Also I was under the impression that Akylosaurus was a North American dinosaur, not mongolian. the gallery on the site shows a creature too small to be A. magniventris. could anyone verify this?_Dragon Helm 02:58, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is probably Saichania or Pinacosaurus, though Pinacosaurus may be too small to be the ankylosaurid depicted in the documentary. I personally think it was a bit misleading of the program to introduce it as an 'ankylosaurus'and (maybe) depict it as that genus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.121.96.110 (talk) 17:38, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics

Hi - it seems that some 'bald' statements are made here, as if fact, yet there has been some pretty heavy debating over at Tyrannosaurus. Latest thinking on 'bite force' and 'speed' of this theropod may not be accurately reported here. - Ballista 05:05, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Validity and Usefulness?

To be frank, this programs sounds idiotic. Of what use is the information that a T. rex with a steel skull could "crush a car?" T. rex did not have a steel skull, there were no cars in Late Cretaceous North America, and even if there were, T. rex would have obtained no benefit from running around crushing them.

Likewise, what value is the information that a Triceratops with a resin skull would not be able to charge predators, as its skull would shatter? Few Triceratops were likely to have had resin skulls.

These "who will win?" match-ups are strictly for power-obsessed teenaged boys, and so sound more like something for MTV than a program purporting to be scientific.

Hmmm, you have a point... Dora Nichov 23:44, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A steel T-rex skull can crush a steel car. Though not rigorously proven, it is not entirely without merit to deduce that a bone T-rex skull would have been able to crush the bone skeleton of car-sized prey. I can't really say much more for or against the program without having seen it, though. -- Milo

Performing an experiment is more productive to collecting data then simply making assumptions. Trying to figure out "who would win" helps us learn more about the dinosaur's characteristics and how they may have interacted with one another; it's valid scientific research.

Either way, wether you feel the program is stupid or not is completely irrelivent- these talk pages are for discussing how to improve the article, they're not messageboards.

Budget

Does anyone know the film budget on this? And how much money they ended up spending on it? TeePee-20.7 (talk) 02:31, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tyrannosaurus Rex -----> Tyrannosaurus rex

Mongolian Ankylosaur

I highly doubt that ankylosaur was Pinacosaurus. In the 2nd episode, it fights a Tarbosaurus. Tarbosaurus lived in the Maastrichtian, while Pinacosaurus lived in the Campanian (and Velociraptor lived in both the Campanian and Maastrichtian). Tarchia was the Mongolian ankylosaur that lived in the Maastrichtian, so I think that ankylosaur in the 2nd episode was Tarchia.

Possible error in article

The article claims that the velociraptor vs ankylosaur episode had a second round where a group of velociraptor attack an adult ankylosaur and fail. I've never been able to find this part of the episode. Hresvelgr4 (talk) 05:45, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
