So they may be part raptor too?

Actually I found some sights that said that Chickens  and their relatives are just more basal theropod like not exactly being part T. rex

^We can all agree on dinosaurs being our passion.

Alright man, hey I'm just stating what paleontologists and news websites have reported. It is indeed your view against the rest of the World. Although your view makes a good deal of sense. Based on the blood vessel they found of the Tyrant King--chicken shares the most similarities to T.rex, closer than any other bird. Therefore, it is its closest living relative.

The reason T.rex always wins is cause it is the strongest, smartest, and most heavily evolved of all the dinosaurs..Lol..No other land predator can legitimately match it. IT HAD A BITE-FORCE OF UP TO FIFTY-THOUSAND POUNDS, CHECK WIKIPEDIA AND SOURCES.

In my most recent fights I've always ended every topic with: "report card feedback is always welcome, microphone feedback (that screech you get when you're kind of too far from the mic) can stay in your head" or something like that. I guess this is what happens when I forget.

I know this is me ranting to myself, but I'm bored of people making t rex win ALL THE TIME. I mean, I won't stop you from choosing the winner for your battles, but don't whine to me when I don't choose who you wanted to win. Every time I see a t rex win against EVERYTHING just 'cuz its famous I try to make myself feel better by writing a story where t rex loses. Then I get people who complain because they like t rex and they think its the most badass dino in the world so I should make it win every time. Well, I don't complain about who wins on your fights (and believe me, I have a f*ckload of complaints) so don't complain about mine.

Every time I write a fight, or anyone else writes a fight, with a tyrannosaur that doesn't win, people are like...

Wow, very nice. Different from the other fights on the forum. I like the story or writing or whatever...

BUT it's stupid because t rex didn't win. you should have made it bigger or stronger or whatever.

No, scratch that. It's straight-up stupid.

Right now I can't find the fight LV wrote, maybe he deleted it or something, I don't know, but it got me kind of pissed when I read it. Say what you want, I know it was there somewhere, and if it isn't, someone's going write something like that soon. But you sure as hell won't contradict him/her, because all that matters is T rex winning. AND, if someone mentions t rex winning fanboyishly, THEN they'll get the winner-doesn't-matter treatment. T rex is overrated, every other dinosaur gets trashed because of it (except for other tyrannosaurs, because they're related to t rex) and then people give other people crap for not liking the same dinosaur. It's annoying.

I agree with Lord Tyrant, A Tyrannosaurus's bite force would make short work of that Carcharodontosaurus

Your welcome, Dinosaurs are my passion.

"Does that matter? It shouldn't matter who wins. What counts is the writing, not the result. Say what you wish, I don't care, I enjoyed writing this fight, so that's what counts for me."

-Lord Vader

Thanks for sharing this with us. :) I like all the details about how dinosaurs evolved.

Screw that, Carc still won. Why are your realistic-ness filters so selective? Go give Lord Vader crap about the thing he wrote when 2 rexes murdered like 60 dinos, none of which even tried to put up a fight. I'm not annoyed at Lord Vader, but I feel like all these "stats" are only coming in because you didn't want t rex to lose.

^Same.

Dinosaurs are related to Archosaurs. (are my words purple?) So they share the same parent and are related to each other (If you're going to say that a Raptor is related to a Brachiosaurs well...a bit). Their protein are different but have the archosaurus part. Well pre-modern birds rose and then came the modern one. Also how come a fish could of have evolved into and amphibian? Well evolution is a strange slow process.

Shiro that text appears purple on my computer lol

Well yes, dromaeosaurids are the closest to birds.

I Heart Jurassic World!

Not to mention dromaoesaurids ie Utahraptors and Velociraptors had more bird features than any tyrannosauroid aside from feathers but it seems that most dinosaurs were covered in some sort of feather covering except the Dromaosaurids, Troodontids, and Birds have flight feathers and had powered flight/glide.

Why? My Evolution chart is based on fossil evidence. A Chicken is a bird there for it would be a relative to Dromaoesaurus "ie Utahraptor and Velociraptor" and Troodons. Tyrannosauruses broke away early in Bird evolution to the point they had little to no direct relations to Birds. Also if Chciekns and T. rexes were identical then a chicken would look exactly like a tyrannosaurus if there DNA were similar. Your DNA is your biological blue print, Chickens might have T. rex proteins but they are still closer related to Raptors I'm sorry dromaeosaurs than a darn Tyrannosauroid!

.........rlly

Still have not admitted that chickens and T.rex are the closest in DNA though.

Its the dinosaur I've been using in most of my posts.

Yup! I sent a PM to GG asking him to feature this btw.

Well I love all Dinosaurs but my favorite is Dilophosaurus and it turned out to be the cornerstone of theropod evolution.

Nice i will follow your lists and i will ask GG to feature it! You know we could work together on discussions! PM me if you want to. Also what's your favourite Dinosaur? Mine is Spinosaurus.

I will later discuss more on individual Theropod linages, my personal favorite are the Dromaeosaurids, Tyrannosauroids, and the Dilophosaurids

Thanks.

Ok.

All Birds belong in Paraves which they share with Troodons and Dromaeosaurids like Velociraptor, Utahraptor, and Microraptors

read the evolution chart I made. 

Also Eagles are related to which dinosaurs?

Lol ok!

sorry for the long list was jotting out all the bird groups, LOL

Avialae is then divided into Euavialae (True winged Birds) and basal Avialae.

Euavialae eventually leads to the clade Avebrevicauda (Short tailed Birds) which then leads to Pygostylia which divides in to Omnivoropterygids, Confuciusornithiformes, Ornithothoraces, and other basal Pygostylia.

Ornithothoraces are then divided up in to Enantiornithes and Euornithes.

Euornithes later evolves in to the clade Ornithuromorpha, which later down the evolutionary road leads to Ornithurae which is divided between basal Ornithurae and the more advanced Neornithes (Modern Birds) which is divided into two clades: Palaeognathae and Neognathae.

Neognathae is further divided:

Galloanserae 

^

[Galliformes (pheasants, turkeys, peacocks, and fowls=chickens), 

Anseriformes (Ducks, Swans, Geese)]

-------------------------------------------

We should gather all of the Dinosaur experts here.

Thanks for making my suggestion Xenotaris!

Several Theropod groups arose in the later epochs of the Triassic like Coelophysis, Liliensternus, Zupaysaurus, and Dilophosaurids (whose famous members Dilophosaurus and Crylophosaurus appear in the early Jurassic but were very much a triassic Theropod)

In the early Jurassic another clade of theropod evolved from primitive Triassic theropods possibly sharing a common ancestors with the aforementioned early Dilophosaurids. the Averostra which are divided in to Ceratosaurs and the Tetanurae.

Tetanurae eventually lead to two more larger clades: Megalosauroidea (Megalosaurids, Spinosaurids, and Monolophosaurus) and Avetheropoda.

Avetheropoda is divided in to: Carnosauria (Allosaurids, Carcharodontosaurids, and Neovenatorids) and last but not least Coelurosauria.

Coelurosauria is divided in to several groups: Primitive Coelurosauria and Tyrannoraptora.

Tyrannoraptora is then divided in to Tyrannosauroids, Compsognathids, Maniraptoriformes, and basal/primitive Tyrannoraptorans.

Maniraptoriformes are then divided in to Ornithomimosauria, Maniraptora, and basal Maniraptoriformes like Fukuivenator.

Maniraptora is divided in to Alvarezsauria, Therizinosauria, Pennaraptora, and basal Maniraptorans.

Pennaraptora is then divided in to Oviraptorosauria, Paraves, and basal Pennaraptorans.

Paraves is then divided in to Scansoriopterygids, Eumaniraptora, and basal Paraves.

we are almost at the end, Eumaniraptora can be divided in to Dromaeosaurids (like Utahraptor, Veloicraptor, and Microraptors) and Averaptora which is divided in to Troodontids and Avialae (True Birds: Both basal and modern)

One last thing. We should gather all Dinosaur experts for the discussion you will be posting!

EORAPTOR WAS A SAUROPOD!!?!??! (Also it's me Shiro Goji A.K.A Shiro)
