What is the point of pitting an elephant against a sauropod twice its height and over 2X its weight? Literally any giant sauropod is going to squash an elephant (no matter how big), or for that matter ANYTHING, in a one-on-one fight.

I ought to take the opinions of people on Discord with a grain of salt, then.

At least this isn't as bad as P. namadicus vs M. sinocanadorum.

No point of this, there are other sauropods that would make this fight more event, Brontosaurus is one. Sauropod takes this 95%

More like 99%. the 1% is where the sauropod accidentally trips itself over the elephant by pure chance, crashes to the ground, and breaks its neck. This is a legitimate wipe.

No contest, Huanghetitan is the winner of this fight.
