The chances of anything successfully attacking a healthy adult Alamosaurus are basically zero. It wouldnât even be a fight, it would be a homicide.
To put it in perspective, if the Alamosaurus clipped the tyrannosaur with even just a small neck or tail strike, it would be like hitting someone in the head with a hammer that weighs as much as the person you hit. Think splatter and shrapnel.

I suppose it would very different from the strategy of hunting edmontosaurus or triceratops in the "northern" territories. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance, Tom
