Funny how some people here mention how a Mosasaur would be cool...

Man, if I knew I would be soooo wrong with this discussion!

I never replied to all the statements that were made here. It is possible that raptors could have been less smarter than chickens, and it is very possible they could have been smarter than wolves, after all their EQ is quite staggering...

Hmm... The last post from what the legends speak of... (As in what many have said about you in the past...)

Well it still makes me a bit sad that I had not joined this forum sooner... I think I disocvered this site a couple of months prior to me joining.

I wonder what it would have been like, reading these fights. They do seem epic. Kind of interesting taking a "blast from the past"

I have found this discussion, almost 3 years old... Gives me an idea of how long some of you guys were around on here... Two months from this discussion I would ahev made a couple of posts...

Interesting how many of these you got right, heck, even spot on!

Long would surely win due to the fact that he is much larger.  But in real life tge Dino would dominate, due to its better weaponry. 

Oh! I forgot about when my mom got me a dinosaur book. That REALLY sparked my interest in dinosaurs.

Note: None of the following are my individual figures

My first dinosaur toy!

Second!

Third!

Fourth!

I do believe so. Penguins today can communicate and distinct one another with special calls, who says dinosaurs couldn't do the same? Maybe even more complex...

Thanks for the compliment!

I do believe that dinosaur species could talk to each other and understand it, like us humans. Chimpanzees and dolphins also do.

Nice topic! :)

Ya I think theropodd were verry intellegent. 

Yeah, I see that is how you talk, so its okay, but we can always try to improve! :)

That is another point i forgot to mention in the discussion!!! I will add it. That is also what I think. pneguins are pretty intelligent and theyve been around for a LONG time.

I think they were pretty intelligent. How else could they have stayed the dominate species for so long.

Oh sorry, didn't notice you had one. Do try to put question marks as it makes it more clear you are asking a question.

I'd say the bigger the brain was in propotion to the body, the smarter the dinosaur was. I think allosaurs could have been some of the least intelligent of other theropods.

Generally, as each new family/class of dinosaurs that emerged was generally more intelligent than it's past ancestors and relatives.

You didn't aanswer my question. 

I guess it is how I talk. Not everyone talks the same. But it even sounded weird when I said it. :D

Thanks, I did try to go in depth in all the most plausible stances of dinosaur intelligence.

Excited to see what you think!

I like this, it goes in depth and shows proof and in depth analysis. But how intellegent Do you say carnosaurs, allosaurid and other theropodd compare.

l will go more in depth later. 

The i-rex, nicknamed rex killer for killing three rexes in her time, one full grown one sub adult and one very old specimen
Could be better phrased, lieke this:

The I. rex, who was called Rex Killer for her defeat of three Rexes in her prime time. These rexes was that of a sub adult, a fully grown rex, and a very old Rex.

Can you provide an example of the "weirdly worded" sentence. 

Good fight, though do try to split your fights into paragraphs and try to make the sentences more clear and organized. Was a bit confused by some of the sentences here because they were phrased weirdly. Any ways, good fight.

That's what I meant by "freindship". 

Good fight!!! Try organise the fight into paragraphs, it makes it easier to read. Hopefully the next fight is Rexy vs Destroyer ;)

But..but megalodon does not count as a dinosaur not even as a marine reptile, you trolled us haha. Megalodon would be a great addition to JW though

I always had a high interest and love for all animals but dinosaurs was my special interest. I watched a lot documentaries as a kid about them, I watched Land Before Time in 98' a long time after it's release :P because i was 3 years old. I only played with dino toys though I didnt know anything for JP yet...When i played JP:OG on it's release my father told me that that game was based on a movie and suddenly I got the movie to watch it. From that day I sticked to learn everything about dinos, I loved them and I still do. I want to work with them seriously, I just finished high school and Im in a crossroad of choices with one way leading to Panteology :)

1- I thought that too.

2- They have the same DNA, so I assume because of that the I. rex possibly developed some instinct of the raptors in his genetic code.

3- Blue saved Rexy, they both defeated I. rex, and they just looked at each other and just walked away... Not a relationship, just a mutual respect for one another.

Got a couple others for you:

4. Why did the Indominus Rex enclosure even have a giant door? I-Rex wasn't going anywhere soon. It's been in that cage for all its life and it would have been likely to remain in there for the rest of its life. Why even build a giant opening that would allow it to escape if left open? You can easily get in and out with a human sized door instead with no risk for the dinosaur escaping.

5. Why does this island not have tranquilizer guns eligible to take down large animals? We have darts with long enough needles and strong enough doses to put a rhino down for days. This highly advanced park doesn't have any for its larger dinosaurs?

6. Why the heck are there not any visitor emergency shelters? I-Rex is strong, I'll give it that, but I'm certain it can't get through a concrete wall. If the visitors just had a place to go, there wouldn't really be a problem.

7. This island seriously has only one helicopter?

But #3: I don't think they communicated and/or gained a friendship. Blue was getting ready to bolt, expecting Rexy to attack (she took a step backwards and everything). But, apparently Rexy was too exhausted.

1.movie logic. 

2.they have the same DNA. 

3.mutual friendship after they both fought a common enemy. 

Hmmmm, for me its gotta be when i started looking at an old dino book, i wonder what the heck they were, my mom say and put in Jurassic park, sw the movie, loved it, and dinosaurs have been amazing ever since

I love the remodeled velociraptors! I was wondering how you reshaped them after cutting them up, and what material did you use to fill in the spaces and make the models look so seamless? Thanks in advance!

Oh boy, I have so many, where to start?

Well, when I was 4 or so, my dad took me to see Sue in person, and I remember being scared out of my mind (I had just seen Jurassic Park and was concerned that meeting a T. rex may be a good way to be horribly injured... I was four.) My dad explained to me that the footprints on the floor were just stickers, and showed me the speaker from which the dinosaur roars were coming. I then reluctantly peeked around the curtain and came face to face with Sue's remains.

Another time was when I was at the Denver Museum of Natural History, and was able to name every dinosaur I saw without looking at the name plates.

But most recently, I came face to face with Paul Sereno (the guy who killed spinosaurus :P) after hearing one of his National Geographic sponsored speeches. He had a couple human skeletos in his suitcase too.

I just always played with dinosaur toys (until my aunt gave all of them away without any permission or notice...)

I also watched Jurassic Park a lot when I was 3 or 4. I just grew with dinosaurs.

And in MarioKart I always choose Dry Bones...

Same here TK, same here.

i always choose bowser too.

i have a confession......i used to be a t.rex fanboy before i joined thse forums. long story short, t.rex has and always will be my favorite dinosaur.

TBH, to this day, whenever I play Mariokart, I ALWAYS use Bowser or Bowser Jr. Always been a sucker for a villain.

LORD VADER - Aww! That is so CUTE! I like your story! :)

Dunno for me. Let's say when I first got started into dinosaurs. Long story short, I was playing Super Mario 64 and my dad told me Bowser was a T-Rex (I was 3). Anyway, 13 years later, I know differently, and Bowser has become my second favourite Nintendo character (was my first until I discovered Bowser Jr.).

X_PADEN_X- Now this is a fun topic! I would have to say my favorite dinosaur memory stems directly from watching the older dinosaur documentaries that arose in the mid to late 80's. The ones that boasted stop-motion animation and were narrated by actors such as Christopher Reeves! There was something haunting and compelling about the way in which the animals were presented - something I carry with me to this day! My second favorite memory with regards to dinosaurs is the moment in which I first saw Jurassic Park. It was incredible! :)

I have to say it all started when i was 3 or 4 and first watched the Land Before Time with my parents some 23 years ago.

As for favourite scene, it has to be when rexy roars at Dr grant after he lights up the flair.
Really gave me that "holy crap" feeling. haha!

To be honest, I don't really have one.

I do remember my local convience store/pharmacy sold 1985 dinosaur models, and my parents got me (in order) the Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Styracosaurus. That Christmas, I got the Allosaurus, Apatosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus. I still have all of them in my laundry basket full of dinosaur/Animal Planet toys.

"Dinosaur flicks." -Sums it up.

Which I can agree, the movies contain some sense and element of dinosaurs but, still are monsters, just built to be like dinosaurs = which means they're considered dinosaurs but they're genetically modified/mutated = which results as monsters = but still "dinosaurs", cause of their imagery based upon old theories and imagination of dinosaurs (*MAJOR DIFFERENCE between this film and most monster films)...get what I'm saying? So yes it's a monster film, but possess a small fraction of scientific reality of dinosaurs. Which makes me like the Jurassic Park franchise, it sounds more realistic than a flame dragon or a gigantic ape the size of a T-rex. A very nice disguise for a monster movie, which proves to be fun, entertaining, and special in a sense of used nature.
