Weight estimates for extinct animals, like dinosaurs, can be a little bit tricky. Triceratops weighed between 6 tons and 12 tons, depending on whose estimate you use.

Who would win King Kong or Triceratops?

If King Kong attacked Triceratops first, King Kong can win by slamming Triceratops with a tree. If Triceratops attack King Kong, King Kong can still win by its ability to jump to the sides. Then, King Kong can kick Triceratops on the side, injuring it. Soon, King Kong gives Triceratops a fatal blow. DEAD!Answer 2:Triceratops will win by charging at king Kong and stabbing it with its horns. But if King Kong manages to break the horns, it will not break them because they are connected to a strong frill head. King Kong cannot pick up triceratops because it is so heavy and thick with muscles. At the end of the battle, triceratops will win, but its horns will get very hurt.
