I am not denying the Rhinoceros' similarity with Centrosaurus; In fact, they are much more similar than what I have suggested. Still, I have explained why Texas Longhorns and Centrosaurus are much more similar than you guys may think at first. i don't even see how they are similar at all. a texas longhorn's horns are so spread out, that if it rammed an attacker, those horns won't even touch it. that is definitely not so with centrosaurus due to that its horn is above its nose. now it may be a bit curved downward but it is still perfectly capable of goring an attacker. Have you even read my posts? I have been comparing how it can be used by the animal, not in aesthetical terms. I'll repeat it again; The neck vertebrae work basically in the same way. What ever kind of movement Centrosaurus could have done with its neck muscles alone plus the limitations caused by its neck vertebrae could also be done by a Texas Longhorn. I am also referring to the more straight horned Texas Longhorns, not the ones with extremely curved horns. The neck vertebrae has its limitations, both of those animals are similar at those, which also means they are similar in how they can move their heads in the stabbing process. Both must do a very well-aimed attack. Centrosaurus actually varied a lot in horn shapes; They were probably sexually dimorphic, but either way they are not that easy to use. Centrosaurus can't do a well-aimed attack whenever it wants to; It has its limitations, such as no sense of depth, which is a consequence of its monocular vision. |

It is not that bad, I have shown that they cannot use their horns that effectively. All-in-all, their combat efficiency is similar; I know you guys will probably not get my point however...

Team Rex wins, not big surprise. No... Pardon me, but only half of the ceratopians had horns that could do damage. I could say though that it is half and half, but otherwise, the rexes would probably win around 55% to 45%. |

Centrosaurus did in fact have an efficient horn used for combat. Theropod comparing the Texas longhorn's horns with Centrosaurus' horns is simply beyond me. Centrosaurus clearly had a horn much more similar to that of a rhino, efficiency and appearance-wise. |

That is not sofrequently seen, or am I wrong? No I don't usually see that. Texas Longhorns, as well as Centrosaurus, are both animals that need proper usage of their horns in combat.Also Liam they do not win with ease but they do win here due to Pachyrhinosaurus and Centrosaurus having trouble with weaponry |

Also I think Cryo should add one more round to this one, a parity, and fair round. You can make their sizes different if the species are different in size so we can decide who wins this, make it fair so it doesn't seem like you are favouring one side.
Mecha I also have no idea why you keep fucking comparing fucking horn appearence when I am talking about how well those fucking horns can be used in combat

Texas Longhorns, as well as Centrosaurus, are both animals that need proper usage of their horns in combat.Also Liam they do not win with ease but they do win here due to Pachyrhinosaurus and Centrosaurus having trouble with weaponry Uh, Theropod... There are no living land predator that is similarly-sized to a rhino. The Polar Bear (the biggest land predator alive today, tied with the Kodiak Bear) is often less than 1/5th a Rhino's size, and Lions (the biggest land predator in their habitat) are even smaller. Thus, your idea that they don't tackle similarly-sized predators in defense is completely untestable.
However, seeing as rhinos have been known to take on each other, human vehicles, and even other huge African Fauna like elephants and buffalo and successfully kill them, I don't see why they couldn't take on a hypothetical similarly-sized predator either, and perhaps even kill it.

There is no predator that could be compared to Daspletosaurus in a match with a Rhino, and even if there is, I am very sure it has not been tested before. That's another untestable thing so there is not much of a point here. |
