Good point Rex Fan. 

Nice. I like how the Spinosaurus is somewhat slender(which is accurate to me since I find spinosaurs lightweight).

The thing is, everyone realizes that except Godzillasaurus. We apologize and back-track all the time. I've never heard/seen Godzillasaurus say he was sorry. NEVER!

did anyone else notice the kaprosuchus? those things were beastly!

wow, someone else has actually thought of that!!! ive always though of t rexes living kind of like lions, with younger individuals doing what the femal lion does today, and the big older ones, being the alpha and defender of the territory

Raptor, I know what you're trying to do, but it won't work. I myself tried to end the debate long ago and of course, 2 minutes later, people were at each other's throats again. It's just some people WON'T LET SOMETHING GO. I know it's immature, stupid, and sick, but that's life. I wish there was something we could do, but we can't control people and know that they'll get what's coming to them. As John Hammond said, "I don't blame people for their mistakes. But I do ask that they pay for them."

I think T-rex did hunt in family groups. Keep in mind that if one finds a skeleton alone, that does not mean it lived alone. All members of a pack do not have to die all at once and if one member dies, the rest of the group ain't gonna stick around until the day they all die as well. A "lone" T-rex might be unearthed, but he really was the alpha of a pack. He just died of old age and the others moved on. Simple as that.

awesome topic, those are actually some of the arguments i use every time i debate with people  about spinosaurus :)

as for the hunter vs scavenger thing, heres my opinion

the younger, lighter built rexes, would go after smaller and swifter prey. while the big adualt rexes, either bullied other animals/eachother and stole their kills and hunted the tougher animals, such as triceratops, on the side. simply put, i think T.Rex would have been an opportunnistic animal

@godzillasaurus

if you truly are the logical person you claim to be, then pherhaps you should consider presenting your argument a bit more politely, of course people are going to get mad at you and argue when you present your information in an insulting fashion. its the same reason that Kyero never got many followers. belive me, choosing your words carefully can save you a whole lot of trouble and allow you to avoid silly little arguments like this one.

in the end, the points you present are ussually excellent, but people won't take you seriously when you insult them, just sayin.

you simply copy them from let's say google images, and type "ctrl v" and it will appear.

thanks for the shout out btw!

I still stick to lone hunter with family groups every once in a while. Albertosaurus, was much too lightweight to be able to take down certain prey alone.

Agreed! Im going to update the artwork, put the song on the actual topic, and polish the post up, then repost tonight. So look forward to it! And thanks my personal fav chapter is going to be here soon.

Torvosauru: Jurassic discount of yrannosaurus. XD Also, it has a couple of brie appearences in my soon-to-be-published book.

How did you get the pictures on there? Also, I'm with Allosaurus winning.

*Gets box of tissues* That was beautiful. :')

the music made it epic, i'm quite glad with how it all turned out. also, great chapter

oh yea, the albertosaurus bone bed...it's possible Tyrannosaurus lived in small groups, though it wouldn't really be needed

There will always be some fool to bring it back with a vengeance.

Tyrannosur fossils, came form a dinosaur very closely related to T-Rex

hopefully, with the discussion i posted, this is dead..

@dino fan, yes, i forgot about that bird...i still see them as valid taxon though.

@raptor401, Tyrannosaurus fossils? or Tyrannosaur?

Well it makes sense, last I heard T-Rex wouldn't have been able to run fast enough for prey that runs a lot. T-Rex ran like 15 mph. Pach hunting makes sense, di you watch the video where they found about 68 fossils right next to each other in the desert?

What you said here actually makes alot of sense...good job..

Im with you Dino.Fan, and I believe Rex was a lone hunter, unless it had a family, in which for a short while, it would hunt in family groups.

I am pretty sure they all realized what they were doing wrong.

I agree with the theory that said that Rex was a pack hunter. I am pretty sure every dinosaur fan knows about that theory.

I mostly agree with the points you have made, Carnosaur. However, I do have one minor objection. I don't usually agree with Jack Horner's ideology, but his theory about change in dinosaurs was somewhat more sound than others. You noted that morphing and shrinking of bone is a physiological impossibility. It is actually a scientific fact that bone morphs and shrinks. It sound like you watched the documentary with Horner's theory, and you'll remember that he cited the Hornbill bird as proof of this drastic bone change. Or look at humans. The bones of our skull and jaws morph and change during adolescence, but shrink and change again in old age. Granted, Mr. Horner's comparisons were not the best (like you said about species being in different areas), but his comparison between the Pachy, Draco and Stygi as far as skull horn arrangements were not bad at all. Horner's partner even noted that the arrangement of horns was very much the same. This was my only objection. I found no problems with your comments on Spino, and I agree that Rex was NOT a scavenger.

Alright guys ENOUGH. Godzillasaurus, everyone has opinions, you can state yours, but you can't say everyone else's is wrong. Carnosaur, dont try to fight with him, hes not being reasonable. Mr. Happy, you shouldn't call him names. Thats almost provoking, and that is certainly not moderating. Thats enough, ok guys?

How in the hell did I miss this fuse!? Must had been offline... Or else I would have at least attempted to bring peace...

We all make mistakes.

Very good information.

Thank you Like a Bossk, that's the whole point I was trying to make in my discussion.

Well, I don't think its even saying that there has to be "scientific" evidence because there can be two theories that are both backed up by "science".  Overall, there just has to be a respect of everybody's opinion because, the truth is, we do not really know much about these creatures.  We can never be 100% sure that a dino acted this way or that unless we see one alive.  Sure, we can make educated guesses based off of the evidence that we have but they are still just theories.  Like I said, everybody just needs to respect each others opinions because it is all theoretical.  Unless it is something like triceratops having horns, which was stated in an earlier post.

MrHappy is right. Even Spino's size is unknown. It's size is just an educated guess, all estimated.

dino fan, i highly encourage you read my new thread. You too, Godzillasaurus.

Oh.

Well, the thing is, My boss has worked personally with all the big names in paleontology. Jack Horner has put out theories to get funding, even though there is no evidence for the theories. Hunter vs Scavenger is one, and Triceratops vs Torosaurus is another. But good post, I agree with it all.

All good information and I agree with it all.

I was rooting for Allo, and glad that he had a reason to fight.
