Meanwhile, elephants are silent.
Indeed, compared to their size and weight they are practically silent for what we would expect, which is why we can't just scale up an animals weight to estimate what its footsteps would have sounded like. I was just referring to any sound carrying under the right conditions.

My point was that you aren't likely going to hear sauropods going "THUD, THUD, THUD" everywhere. Not like in movies or cartoons.

Feet are made for absorbing shock. So I'd say they wouldn't be as loud as we'd expect.

Widest overall or widest relative to its body size?

It's difficult to say really.

It may very well be Cedarpelta, based off maximum size estimates alone. It was potentially a BIG animal that rivaled derived ankylosaurines in size.

Of all the North American Allosaurus Species which one was generally the largest/smallest on average? And what are the main differences between the 3 (technically 4) species

Allosaurus got larger as time progressed, it seems. So the youngest species, let's call it Allosaurus maximus, was the biggest, then A. fragilis, then the informally named A. jimmadseni (Big Al and Big Al 2 being notable specimens) was the oldest and smallest.

Of all dinosaurs, genuses and species alike which one is predicted to have exsisted the longest? Not life span but amount of time they animal lived before becoming extinct?

Just spitballing, but Allosaurus and Psittacosaurus come to mind here. Allosaurus seems to have covered a LONG time if you consider Epanterias and Saurophaganax as representatives of the genus. Basically the whole 10 million years of the Morrison Formation.

And Psittacosaurus even more so. Nine species covering about 23 million years of Early Cretaceous strata across the whole of East Asia.

The paper says earliest Pliocene.

It's possible nile crocodiles might have occured during interglacials.
