I'm not bashing Torvosaurus either. It was among the largest predators of the late Jurassic. But I don't think it got bigger than 36 ft(11 meters).

I think that's the pic: [img]https://public.bn1.livefilestore.com/y2p5qBYWKZkgexIxE2XyVjRGU_zYywnzoTv-_ucnm3KcSdAhTqzCJ4mbwU5llfFz-ZGqDCKWQBjk9v_bDiW-pN1rx3qdDS_MTc_iry96NtxkWg/EuroTorvo.jpgpsid=1&rdrts=59165528[/img] Hope it works

Haha, it reminds me of Pacific Rim. Nice short "chapter" BTW.

I'm not bashing Torvo or anything Here's a photo [img]https://bejpbq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pFmVX0grHiXQw70gHD9jnx1ezi1d4SjZp2osdx0Xi0UBSHe0fOJd4jWul2YyJrGY3gxfT_px4WlytnkFu95oi-iuJHG5qdOk8/EuroTorvo.jpg?psid=1[/img] I mean this isn't 100% reliable but I think i remember reading about it somewhere else too. I think it would be awesome if Torvo had a skull 158cm big. He would be huge! But it just doesn't seem that way. either way though this still means Torvo was around 35ft. long which is still a tremendous predator.

Right. It is just so iconic... roaaaaaaaaaarrrrr-rooooaaaaaarrrrrr-rrroooor. Well, it seems I can't redo it here.

Not really, no, haha. But you got the point across ;)

Agreed, the movie ending was better overall. Plus(the book wouldn't really have been able to do this I guess), the T-rex roar at the end was awesome and by far one of the greatest moments in Jurassic Park history.

True. Hmmm... I remember of the new Torvo skull, I red about it somewhere...

I think the movie's ending was much better. And think that it had to be different initially. In a first script, Hammond had to shot one raptor, and the other had to be killed by the T-rex skeleton. Glad Spielberg changed that, the T-rex vs. Raptors is much better. Also, I was disappointed by the novel's ending as well, I found it a bit unoriginal.

That is possible. Many finds are often downsized after further study.

I see Torvosaurus being able to reach around 38-40 ft. and about 4.5 -5 tons it's definitely possible, But didn't they say that the Portuguese maxilla was actually more around 120cm?

Exactly, they give extra weight, surely, but not 1-2 tons. That would be as much as a black rhino. That's a lot of flesh!

Just because an animal is bigger, does not mean it gets extra body parts. Those stay the same. They just get slightly bigger. They don't get extra.

Thanks. Personally I like the fact that in the novel dinosaurs have a lot more room, althought for me the movie version is much, much cooler!

Hmm, I think I know who that is ;)

Exactly, I know allosaurus is lightweight. That's why I said that a Torvosaurus and allosaurus being the same weight, no, just no. Torvo has to be heavier than that. Also Dinosteve, I was talking about extra bone, blood, tissue from extra muscle, extra fat, extra skull, extra organs, basically, extra everything. All that adds up.

Overall there are some good results, a few things I don't agree though: 1-I don't think the american Torvo could be a great comparison, as they lived in different areas, climates, hunted different preys, etc...; 2-I thought calculating weight would mean calculating at the same time organs, blood, and stuff. By 4 tons, what would you mean: bones? While your right in "bigger you are, you need more than heavier you are", I don't think organs and stuff could add a ton! Don't forget a ton is a lot of weight!; Anyway, those are your thought, and I respect them, so good work, althought I don't agree ;)

You mentioned comparing it to Allosaurus. Not so sure that's a good idea. Allosaurus and Torvosaurus were not very closely related, so Allosaurus does really make for a good comparison. Allosaurs overall tend to be lightweight. ' My Torvosaurus sizes American- 26-30 ft(8-9 meters) and 1.5-2.5 tons European Average- 33-36 ft(10-11 meters) and 3-4 tons European Max- 40 ft(12 meters) and 5 tons

Oops, this is the second time something like this has happened to me.

Cool. The book version of Isla Nublar is actually pretty different than the movie version, but they're all cool. Nice finds.

OMG.......just checked out your Godzilla stuff too! Brilliant artwork!! ;-)

I hope he enjoys the forums and sticks around :)

KaijuFall............that is spectacular!

Nice drawing.

It was supposed to be Tyrannosaurus rex, but the head became a little longer and more slender than I planned on. It does resemble Albertosaurus in a few ways though.

I am already following him, and I talked with him as well.

You're an amazing artist, this is a great job! I'm really impressed and inspired too ;)

Great chapter, and I think I know who that was. Not telling anyone through.

Rexfan.why you dont agree with the winner? i think that those things decide the end of the fight: -size -age -experience -environment -motivation(like hunger,or in this case the female protect her children) -streght -surprise -damages that the animal got before and during the battle -speed -inteligence in this fight the most thing stand near the giganotosaurus.but i respect what you say,because everyone vote his/her favourite.

yes it looks like so

it is actually because they were frightened by the tyrannosaurs roar and they actually did not see them

Good chapter. Seems only a bit strange that 2000 Triceratops flee from 2 T-rex! It would surely be a funny scene! :)

Wow is that Scarface! I'm now looking forward to see how this will go! Nice chapter

Jackpot for Tyrannosaurus! Nice chapter

Ultra Predator! YAY!

Good chapter sets up a stage for a battle

I was going to suggest Carnotaurus :)

Good Chapter. Can't wait for the next.

Hey, thanks, thats totally badass :D

It sure would be interesting to have it like that. Personally, I'd say Rexy is pretty damn accurate. Nothing says T-Rex to me quite like this: [img]http://www.korsgaardscommentary.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/jurassic-park-t-rex.jpg[/img]
