The Dilophosaurus was a theropod, so speed provided by bipedal locomotion would be an advantage to run away from larger predators of the Jurassic.

Also Dilophosaurus hunted in small groups, and that fact could be a protection from attacks of other theropod predators.

With a head that stood above the largest of carnivores during the late Jurassic period the Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus) was able to protect its head and neck from attacks from predators. The huge bullwhip like tail as discussed previously also served as an efficient weapon to defend itself from attacks from predators. This not to say that Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus) was not susceptible to attacks as can be seen from a Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus) vertebrae which showed evidence of attack from an Allosaurus.

Ankylosaurus's armor was so impenetrable that predators like Tyrannosaurus and dromaeosaurid dinosaurs probably never attacked an adult. If a predatory dinosaur attacked it, Ankylosaurus could have killed the enemy with a blow from its tail club.

In general, a dinosaur would flee from a predator if it could. Stegosaurus and Ankylosaurus, however, were slow, so they would have been best off standing their ground and fending off predators by swinging their tail spikes or club, respectively. Some ceratopsians could have defended themselves with their horns, and others with their beaks.

Young Allosaurus were either protected by their parents or simply ran to escape danger. Adult Allosaurus were 28 feet long and weighed somewhere between 2,200 and 8,800 lb depending on whose estimate you use. Because they were the largest predators in their habitat, the only significant threat to adult Allosaurus were other adult Allosaurus. They would have fought each other mostly by biting, but they may have also used their relatively strong arms and struck each other with their claws.
