I wonder if it could wrap its tail around objects and lift them or use it as a whip.

I'm thinking balance and whip. But I don't think it could sneak up on you.

Just added a big one of these to my collection: Name: OuranosaurusPronunciation: Oo-ran-o-sor-usMeaning of name: "Brave lizard"Species: O. nigeriensisSize: Between 7 and 8 metres long, 3 metres tall and weighing between 2 and 4 metric tonnes.Family: Uncertain. Appears to be a primitive Iguanodontid.Diet: Herbivore. Fed on both high and low-growing vegetation.First fossils found: Known from two almost-complete skeletons, the first of which was discovered in the Elrhaz Formation of Niger, West Africa, in 1965. The second skeleton was discovered in the same area in 1970. Named by French palaeontologist, Philippe Taquet in 1976. The most striking feature of this dino is the large sail on its back, similar to the sail on the Theropod, Spinosaurus. The sail was supported by long spines on the vertebrae and is thought to have been used either for display or thermoregulation.
Lived: 125 to 113 million years ago during the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous in what is now West Africa.

It would take a big trap to catch it.
