Pretty sure it would be gore to death before that happens. Buffalos were really fast though this one may be a bit slower due to the size of those horns. Err...the horns are not good for goring. Too long and spread out. The horns do have an end similar to the Cape Buffalo. Also if Carnotaurus tries to go from the side, it will get gored. |

Too long and spread out. Not as spread out as you think, at least for some males. The largest males horns probably looked like this:   While an average sized bull Pelorovis Antiquus horns probably looked like this:  |

Yeah, that illustrates my point right there. At that length, they're not very practical or functional for goring.

Swinging its head is not gonna work; they're too long and outward Pelorovis would simply need to catch carnotaurus on one of the horn tips to injure it, not to mention getting thwocked with a horn (disregarding the tip) that heavy and long would smart. |

Thing is, the longer the horns the less of the force that is behind them can make it to the end. The horns here are VERY long, and would be able to produce some small cuts at most. Not full on punctures.

Not full on punctures. That's why Canrotaurus' speed is going to work against it-The combined momentum of the fast running speed and pelorovis' head jerking will help cause deeper wounds. Furthermore, the horns could still hook the dinosaur and pull it down. |

That much?
Isn;t that stretching it a bit? Unless it was a lucky, full-on hit further down the horn, it's probably not gonna do much

Well, Allosaurus fragilis can get a bit larger. Would probably be a mismatch.
This matchup IMO heavily favors Carnotaurus, but probably not a slaughter

No, I mean A. fragilis
It gets up to 9.7 meters and 3.2 tonnes

Well, this is a hypothetical situation where Carnotaurus DID take a chance. That precludes reality. But yeah, Allosaurus is more equal. |
