Unless one has a substantial size advantage, I don't see this fight being anything other than a 50/50.

From what I gather, P. walkeri is 4 tonnes and C. casuarias is 3.82 tonnes. It's not a big advantage so I admit to voting Parasaurolophus because it's my favorite dinosaur.

Well yeah, but they lack the obvious and potent weaponry dispatch a similarly sized conspecific or another similarly sized hadrosaur. Just like giraffes can kill another in intraspecific conflict, hadrosaurs can do so in their own means.

A very brief discussion I had with Duane Nash got me thinking about some herbivorous dinosaurs, including giant ornithopods (therefore, hadrosaurs), biting as a means of offense/defense (he's convinced that they had nasty bites). I talked about this possibility before on the forum, but I'm giving it greater, more serious consideration this time. The beak margins continually sheared past each other when the mouth was closed, making for a sharp edge (good for cropping vegetation, but could also theoretically cause soft tissue wounds). Additionally, the jaw power seems to have been substantial in these animals. linkI don't have any information about maximum jaw gape, which would be relevant to how easily hadrosaurs could use their jaws as weapons. |

They can't kill each other very well.

50/50. Both rather similar animals, and whoever gets the 1st hit should win.
