Ok what's the likely hood of a tyrannosaur being able to rip off a torosaurus horn core? Go check out my RP if you want to know why I'm asking.

There is evidence that Tyrannosaurus did have aggressive head-on encounters with Triceratops, based on partially healed tyrannosaur tooth marks on a Triceratops brow horn and squamosal; the bitten horn is also broken, with new bone growth after the break.

Courtesy of Wikipedia, it's not a Torosaurus but still a ceratopsian. Also studies have shown that Tyrannosaurus Rex's bite can crush bone.

Nope you said your character ripped the entire horn core off.

I said he bit most of the horn off, not the core.

Pulled it off. Kind of sounds like your aim was to rip it cleanly off.

" I aimed my head for the creatures horns and grabbed on to a horn with my mouth. I kept my body away from the creature as it tried to get away. Then I pulled the horn off leaving the ceratopsian bellowing in pain while blood shown from its now broken and useless horn."

Does this sound like ripping the whole core off.

Pull it off is almost impossible, since it's the same bone from the skull, unlike a deer. It could break due to the forces involved, and more likely because it was bent to breaking point rather than chopped off with a bite.

Pulled off is still in the description. You can't pull it off and have it still there.

originally, one_piece

what is the closest living relative of toxodon? many re-construction shows it covered in a layer of fur, but would that be plausible? or was is just skin like a hippos?

So many Questions, where to start?
1. is sinornithosaurus still considered possible for venom?
2. could stegosaurus pump blood into it's plates like in wwd?
3.could Ankylosaurus swim using it's wide, gassy midsection for buoyancy?
4. if triceratops had keratin coated horns could they have been the same color as white tailed deer antlers?
5.could Velociraptor be trainable ?
6.could t rex roll over when laying down?
7. would albinism and melanism be present?
8. Could spinosaurus breach like a crocodile?
9. could the sail have been used for under water stability or like a ship's sail?
10. do you think theropods may have lay eggs without pregnation like chickens?
11. could dromaeosaurs climb trees to nest?
13. sauropod necks as weapons?
14. do you think any dinosaurs could change color?
15.did I ask too many questions? :D

Thanks for answers in advance

1) Nope, Sinornithosaurus being venomous was debunked.
7) Yes, definitely. Both are present in all animals.

I'll let other people who're more well versed in palaeontology to answer the rest.
