Muldon, or the raptor? And I want to see the raptor I jp4, and remembers Tim, who somehow got there, and is also like the old veteran who just kills everything in its path, or just smoothly goes through any obstical, like meeting a T. rex and blinding it.

I think that me and someone else were discussing that. It would still be cool if they brought back Muldoon.

If they were even in terms of size and age, then in JP 3 Spino would have had the combat experience because Rex, being a scavenger (according to Horner), probably wouldn't have fought at all in it's life.

The other raptor wa locked in the freezer by Tim, so it is still alive and one the door gets rusty, one of the pack ofht s big one will be loose again on the island.

Well, there's really no way to tell. Assuming they were the same age, they were even.

Spinosaurus would win.

I remember hearing one time that Rex could hold up to 500 pounds in each arm, but I don't see much past 200-250 pound each. Nice example withe the spear and club. You said the fight in JP 3 was evenly matched, but wasn't Rex a sub-adult? I don't know about Spino. Was it also sub-adult?

Good point. I agree, Mr Happy. I can see Rex being able to help it stand. I just really can't believe Rex would be able to lift that much weight with two fingers. @Brett -- Totally agree! That was my thought the first time I watched JPIII when I was like four.

Found it, I just copy and pasted the whole thing, not just the actual plot idea. Everyone knows how in the first movie, Muldoon was killed, right? It did not show that he was actually killed, it just showed him getting face-munched. And there were a total of 3 raptors, but by the end of the movie, only two got killed by T.Rex. What happened to the third one? There is no proof Muldoon was actually killed. He could have fought off the Raptor, grabbed his SPAS 12, killed it, and escape into the maintenance shed before the other one realized he had escaped. So what if on JP4, the original cast returns to isla Nublar to spread Hammod's ashes, the helicopter crashes, and everyone goes into the jungle. Then later on, they are getting chased by a T.Rex, and get saved by Muldoon, who after living on the island for 20 years, knows the island and every place on it, and leads the T.Rex away. When he returns, they recognize the man as Muldoon and asked how he survived. Muldoon explains and tells them how he survived for 2 decades on the island and that he has one shell left in case of an emergency. At the end of the movie, a search and rescue helicopter arrives, they ask Muldoon if he wants to come with, and he says, "I've lived on this island for 20 years, I don't think I would fit in with people. And, I've gotten used to the place, I don't think I could adjust back to life like normal people. But some ammo would be useful." Then they leave the island, get back to the mainland, realize they forgot to spread Hammod's ashes, buy some ammo, go back to the island, find Muldoon, give him the ammo, and Muldoon says, "Didn't expect you take my request for ammo seriously" they tell him that they came to island to spread Hammod's ashes, ask him if he could do it for them, leave, and Muldoon spreads Hammod's ashes while saying, "This is where you belong, in the midst of your own creation." I would have added more, but I really could only think of the stuff involving Muldoon.

I had an idea where they went to spread Hammod's ashes on Nublar and Re-unite with Muldoon. Just give me a minute to find it and I will post it.

Rex's arms may have been 3 feet long, but they were still pretty useless on something so big. It probably used it's arms to help it stand up, and maybe if it was carrying something extremely heavy and needed extra help. I remember hearing Rex could carry about 5 tons in its jaws at a time. If Rex could lift 450 pounds in each arm, imagine how much Spino could lift in each.

I am actually very glad the spino was "the winner" in this battle because when you grow up you get introduced to the t-rex and believe it is the strongest dinosaur but then after watching this it is cool to know there is another dinosaur that could compete with the t-rex

Those arms, dino fanatic, are three feet long.

I think it's along the lines of Giga - 41-46 feet long, 17-20 ft tall, 6-8 tons in weight Cachar -40-43 feet long, 17-18.8 feet tall, 7.5 tons Map -41 ft long, 16 ft tall, 6 tons And Rex - 39-44 ft long, 18-21 ft tall , 8-10 tons

I was thinking that Tim Lex and Arick, from the first and third movie, go to the island on a plane and are going to see the dinosaurs from the plane, because John Hammond wanted his grandchildren to see the Island one last time after he died. The plane gets destroyed by some Quetlequatlus and they are stuck on the island. Tim knows almost everything there is to know about the island and the dinosaurs and constantly spouts facts about them. They get off the island eventually. I'm not sure how, but they do.

I love the part when the Tarbosaurus crush the two raptors its funny,make more!

We have a Mapusaurus's pubic element 10 % larger than those of MUPC-ch1, the Giganotosaurus's holotype. If MUPCv-ch1 was 12.4m long, this giant Mapusaurus was 13.6 meters long/44 feet. The largest Giganotosaurus was about 6.5 % larger than MUPCv-ch1, so it was 13.2 meters long. The largest Carcharodontosaurus was SMG din-1, wich is 12.8 meters long.

Actually, scientists around the world have concluded that they can lift about 450 lbs. That said, I don't know if they would be effective in combat.

Very cool

Whoa - I have to disagree with that. First, there is no way Rex could lift 400+ pounds with puny arms and two-fingered hands. Second, you'd have to be WAY up close to be damaged by them. Scientists all over the world have concluded that T-Rex's front limbs were most likely useless. The only arms I can think of that are MORE useless are those of Carnotaurus.

@Rex Fan, the thing with me and raptors is that Utahraptor is my faovorite dinosaur. @Everyone else, I agree with dino fanatic, if T. rex can use his feet, so can Spino. T. rex also has those little arms that can lift 400+ pounds. So T. rex can actually use them in combat. Say Spino is biting you and he is really close, those nasty T. rex meat hooks will cause some damage, or at least a distraction.

Ain't that the truth. The more and more I look at this fight scene in particular, the more I think it's just what Jack Horner wanted.

I give Giga a size of 43-46 ft long and a weight of 7-8.5 tons. I give Car a size of 40 ft long and a weight of 5-6.5 tons. I give Map a size of 33-36 ft long and a weight of 3-4 tons. I give T-rex a size of 43-50 ft long and a weight of 7-10 tons. But that's just me. I'm not going to tell you guys what to think.

T. rex would do pretty good. Mapusaurus and carcharadontosaurus are a bit smaller than that, and Giganotosaurus is a lot bigger. Giganotosaurus vs T. rex. How big is this Giganotosaurus were talking about.

Check it out -- Rex has a terrible grip on Spino's neck. Misrepresentation of Rex, eh Jack Horner? With a clumsy move like that, no wonder the fight ended so fast. [img]http://images.wikia.com/jurassicpark/images/a/a8/Hqdefault.jpg[/img]

@Spinosaurus Rex -- Don't take this the wrong way, but a point can be expressed without the language. Let's keep it clean. I agree with you, I think the crew of FBR should take ALL the strengths of Spino (and Rex) into consideration. The feet are certainly one of them; if Rex can use his feet, why can't Spino?

I'm not entirely sure what you are getting at, but cool post. Can't say I completely agree with the sizes, but this is certainly a good list of some, I do say some, of the greatest killers ever. PS- Good pics

What is with you and raptors! haha

Reverse that, all hail the pharaoh, and long live the king. And you will all die because the raptors will sneak up on you and eat you.

You can believe that. That's ok. In a nutshell, Spino is the slasher and Rex is the crusher. Both are effective predators in their respective environments and should they ever meet, the battle would be both titanic and evenly-matched.

Paden, why didnt you state that Spinosaurus also could use its feet ? Im really sure that it could, not trying to be a dick or anything, but if you want to state your opinion, just say " in my opinion" or " I think", just so it wont cause contraversy with anybody. So, like i said, not trying to be mean, just make what your trying to say in a way that wont cause contraversy.

I'm thinking more 3-4 tons.

I get what you mean. I just thought I should point out the Gator, Croc thing. And yes, I'm sure Spino had a decent bite too. Maybe in the 2 tons range. T-rex just has the stronger one.

Thanks. Shows that even an underdog, can beat the odds.

Rex Fan, True, say T. rex is an American Alligator, and say Spino is a Nile crocodile. I read that the larger crocodiles have a larger bite force, and the 11.5 American alligator is smaller than the 14 foot Nile crocodile, and has a lower bite strength. Now T. rex is not an alligator or even has some features, but Spino is like a crocodile, and the saltwater crocodile has the largest bite force recorded. Only beaten by T. rex.

That was awesome! I clicked on this thread thinking that we would see another carnivore victorious, but was pleasantly surprised by Stego's victory. Nice work!

@Deltadromeus -- That's cool! I have almost all the books. I always enjoy the strips where Calvin imagines himself as a dinosaur rampaging across town, as well as the Spaceman Spiff adventures on alien planets. @Rex Fan -- While Spino's bite force might not have been as forceful as Rex's, I hope I've made my point that Spino has plenty of other advantages, and is equally matched against Rex.

Great job, once again, an environment factor plays an important part.

Alligators have a wider, shorter skull. Not Crocs.
