Yes. It could by lashing its tail to the attacker.
The long tail of the Diplodocus was used for protection. Diplodocus would by swing its tail forcefully in a whip-like fashion. If used in this way it could have been very effective and even deadly.
nope Diplodocus can't fly
That is the correct spelling of "diplodocus" (a large sauropod of the genus Diplodocus).
The diplodocus lived in western North American at the end of the Jurassic period. This creature was a larger creature with a long tail that could be used as a whip.
it has a long neck
Diplodocus does not belong. It was a sauropod and an herbivore. The other three were theropods and were carnivores.
A diplodocus is actually a platypus that lives in the ocean.
diplodocus is longer but brachiosauras is taller
It depends. If Seismosaurus hallorum proves to be really a Diplodocus, than that would be the longest known specimen, with a length of about 33 meters. Otherwise, the longest known Diplodocus is about 27-30 meters long.
Most paleontologists think that Diplodocus was a gentle herbivore.
1. Diplodocus was not very fast because of its immense size and weight. 2. The long neck of Diplodocus allowed it to reach tree leaves from a distance. 3. The powerful pelvic girdle of Diplodocus may have allowed it to rear onto its hind legs, and then itself onto its tail, too, to form a tripod. This way, Diplodocus could have reached vegetation very high in the forest canopy. 4. Th whip like tail of Diplodocus could have been used to defend itself against theropod dinosaurs, such as Allosaurus.
