Order: Perissodactyla
Family: Hyracodontidae
Height: 4.2 to possibly 4.8 meters
Mass: 11 tonnes, possibly up to 17
Diet: Plants
Age and Location: 37 to 23 million years ago, Eocene to Oligocene, Pakistan
Killing apparatus: Kicks(?), weight
The largest rhinoceros ever to live. Did not have horns like modern rhinoceros do.

Ankylosaurus magniventris

vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sauriangame/images/d/de/Ankylosaurus%2BRender.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20171005194100

Order: Thyreophora
Family: Ankylosauridae
Length: 8 meters for a large individual (Arbour & Mallon, 2017)
Mass: 4.78 tonnes(?) for smallest known individual, 7.95 tonnes(?) for largest known individual (Arbour & Mallon, 2017)
Diet: Plants, possibly an omnivore
Age and Location: 65 million years ago, Late Cretaceous, Canada and United States
Killing apparatus: Tail club
The largest known armored dinosaur. Coexisted with Tyrannosaurus rex and was covered in bony plates for protection.

The armoured dinosaur might be slower in movement but that heavy club tail can cause great internal injury.

[dinosauria101]

I tend to favor the Ankylosaurus here too. That armor's very good protection, and it can shatter bone with its club.
Also very hard to flip.

I doubt the paraceratherium will know how to flip over the ankylosaurus.

More likely it can't-It doesn't have good feet for flipping like T.rex and unlike an elephant it doesn't have tusks which it can use to lever up the ankylosaur

[dinosauria101]

That's likely true; I'd expect the Paraceratherium to try and kick as opposed to try and flip over, which the Ankylosaurus would likely respond to by lashing out with its club.
Here's a chart I made of the largest specimens, skeletals by Asier Larramendi and Greg Paul.

Are those body spikes accurate?

[dinosauria101]

They likely are, however it's not guaranteed for Ankylosaurus itself.
That's just a scaled up GSP Euoplocephalus (couldn't find any good Ankylosaurus skeletals), meaning that both could have the spike armor, or it's just Euoplocephalus.

Paraceratherium may be much larger, but Ankylosaurus can use the club tail to bring it down, Ankylosaurus wins this battle.
