Rat snake is love... Rat snake is life

Is it possible for Edmontonia/Denversaurus to charge up and ram predator that threaten it with the shoulder spikes? This was a very famous depiction I usually found in dinosaur books when I was younger.

I'd say it's still a fairly plausible scenario, porcupines do something similar with their quills IIRC.

I mean, there's nothing stopping one from trying. Landing a clean hit on a predator's legs is another matter.

Are there any pterosaurs known fron Nemegt, or from close formations and that could have (speculatively talking) been present in Nemegt ?
I thought Azdarcho did, but turns out it's much older than what I thought.

It's also from Uzbekistan rather than Mongolia.

AFAIK Nemegt has no known pterosaur material.

I think there was some azhdarchid material in a Velociraptor's stomach.

EDIT: Nervemind, not from Nemegt

Edmontosaurus was planned originally in fact! But due to it being scrapped is the reason why the Triceratops and Rex have different biomes. Why that is I have no idea lol

As for argentinosaurus I think it was made in concept art along with Brachiosaurus until the decision was made to scrap both sauropods and only use the Brachiosaurus as an attraction item

Blue Fang did not understand dinosaurs, or their fans.

Fact.

T. rex lives in rainforest....

Trike in boreal forest...

Sound legit...

btw, which biome is closer to real Hell Creek's biome and environment? I am not sure if boreal forest means taiga or warmer kind of coniferous forest.

AFAIK Taiga = Boreal Forest

Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops were split up biome wise in the Dino Danger Pack. Why this wasn't fixed in Extinct Animals is anyone's guess.

Source? I've never heard of any of these being planned EVER being the case. All I know that is even similar to this is that in one of the extinct animal trailers, it was, by many members of the community, believed there was an Edmontosaurus in the background, though it turned out not to be the case.

Boreal forest = Taiga.

Hell Creek = TEMPERATE FOREST.

All in all it seems like the biomes of the animals in EA were mostly just the randomized whims of the developers rather than derived from any logic or knowledge of the paleoenvironmental record.
