Yeah, what's with the Saurophaganax? I'm saying... Rex Car Giga Don't know for Mapu vs Spino. It would be close.

[img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110917135459/jurassicfightclub/images/1/10/JFCDeinonychus.jpg[/img] Deinonychus. At 10-13 ft long, 6 ft tall, and 200-300 lbs, it was, in my opinion, the perfectly sized raptor. Not too big, not too small. A smart, deadly carnivore.

Either Utahraptor or Crylophosaurus and Shantungosaurus

Tyrannosaurus and Camarasaurus. T-rex is obvious. I honestly don't know why I like Camarasaurus so much, I just do, haha

Same. I've read a lot about it and want to play it badly!

40 ft and 5 tons for Tyrannotitan. Maybe 43 ft and 6-7 tons. I feel Giga would have some trouble with Das Monster. I don't really seeing him get past 5 or maybe 6. He has a lot of tough challenges early on. If he would get past them, he would be so injured, he would probably drop dead after the Torosaurus drives even one horn into him.

Yeah, if I am correct, Hyenas are more closely related to weasels. Anyways, yes, Tyrannosaurs was not especially fast. A big Rex could probably not run faster than 15-20 miles per hour, 25 tops. Now, the juveniles were faster, but the adults strong. When Dinosaurs Roamed America still has, in my opinion, the most accurate depiction of tyrannosaur hunting behavior yet.

I did not know that Tyrannotitan got that big (upper estimates of course). What would the average be though?

It's also supposed to be "tyrannosaur-like" in skull, tooth and body shape. Strange for a carcharodontosaur.

Sue, the largest T. rex known, was recently moved up to 9-10 tons and Tarbosaurus is probably roughly the same size at maximum size. Tyrannotitan's upper estimates pass 50 feet and 13 tons so I down scaled a little in my head.

I haven't played it yet but I plan on doing so soon.

Giganotosaurus and Ceratopsipes. The biggest of both of their families. Sad these giants never met....

T-Rex and probably Triceratops or Stegosaurus.

Das monster will do some damage. Are bringing up the sizes a little? Tarbo would not get to 9 tons, and I don't think Tyrannotitan would get to 11.25 tons. I don't see Giga getting much past fight 5.

Woah man. That was deep

Actually I never thought of it like that (What Troodon1 mentioned) I always was so furious on why the velociraptors were like HUGE! But as far as feathers go I think that most raptors (smaller species) may have had feathers under their arms, down the back of their hind legs, ontop of their heads (males) etc. But when I open a book to the velociraptor page and see a chicken with claws, I feel sick.

Oh wait... give me a second dinofights, FuturePaleo wanted me to send you the rough skeletal draft

and it all started with a small fight called "the final battle"... so many spin offs and different points of views from just that one discussion... I know its a bit... weird to say i started it all... but in a way... i sorta did... Im really impressed by everyones opinion, fights, stories... just amazing... just look back... at this huge line of stories, fights, tragedies... 65 million years in the making... thank you... for everything you've all done... -Paden

What about Livyatan melvillei vs Megalodon? It would be a more even match.

Why does Saurophaganax look like a ornithomimid?

@Deltadromeus Hyenas are slightly larger than grey wolves. They're 5 lbs heavier on average and 2 inches taller and longer. You were right about the canine family thing. They're not canines... My bad. I forgot to mention that, also probably like T. Rex, it is social and hunts in impromptu packs of 2-15 members depending on what it's hunting. I think Tyrannosaurus would have, like the spotted hyena, been a little more of a hunter than a scavenger. I'd say 65-ish% hunter.

T rex hunted both, he could and usually would bring down his own prey, and he would scavenge a carcass from lower lifeforms from time to time.... think of it this way... if i were to leave a un eaten hamburger completely untouched and okay with a sign saying free food... would you take it??? i would... rex probably would too but he would bring down his own kill... hes built for it...

in one of our PM discussions, we decided on a water fight, for it would be most exciting, I've left Future Paleo at the helm of the water fight... WWD sized Liopleurodon vs Megalodon is what hes working on I just got his rough draft, it looks good... with that all 3 fights for this season are decided, if theyres a lot of popularity to one, we will do a second fight.... rex vs spino 4 trike vs raptor 1 liopleurodon vs megalodon 1 any objections?

1 Rex 2 Carchar 3 Giga 4 Spino That is my opinion.

T-Rex was a hunter. It did scavenge, but likely hunted more. It was slow, so it would ambush it's prey. A scavenger didn't need a 3-9 ton bite force. At the same time, T-Rex was big and intimidating, so it could just steal a kill from another carnivore if it wanted to.

The grey wolf is the largest canine. Besides, I don't think hyenas re counted as dogs. The hyena also hunted more than scavenged, but it was a closer scavenger than a T. rex.

I think T-Rex was the dinosaur equivalent of a Hyena: an opportunistic animal with a bone crushing bite force that hunted when it could and scavenged when it could. Just as the hyena is the largest living canid, tyrannosaurus was the largest theropod of its time. Perfect equivalents, in my opinion.

Well, I guess it depends on how much dead stuff there is. T. rex would choose it over hunting sometimes, almost always if it was freshly dead.

Feathers would create a realistic Look to them, but it would not fit the story line. In the movie the Dinosaurs are genetically altered, Raptors are 3X larger than their normal selves. Unless the Dinosaurs have evolved over 20 years then it may not work. In the end, it would still be awesome either way!

Any carnivore would not pass up a free meal. It's food that does not fight back. However, Tyrannosaurus was probably 60-70 percent hunter. People who say the arms are a sign of scavenging, I'm talking to you Jack Horner, are crazy. Wolves are successful hunters. Do they use their front feet? No. Plus, dinosaur bones have been found with HEALED T-rex bite marks on them. This shows that the dinosaur was attacked and escaped the tyrannosaur. T-rex hunted most of the time, end of story.

T. rex was an opportunistic scavenger as well as a hunter. The ratio of hunting to scavenging is probably 5:1, but if you where offered a free meal that is just as good as a meal that you pay for, wouldn't you take it?

All of those are very cool tyrannosaurs. I can't argue with Y-tyrannus, Rex Fan made it clear that it won't do anything.

It sounds great. For all who are wondering, I'm working on the final little bit if my dinosaur story series. It is taking longer because I want it to be the best yet.

I don't want to steal the spotlight from MrHappy, but I too am doing a story. It's called The Fight To Survive. I have no idea how many chapters it will be. I'll start posting them when it's finished. I am not saying anything else. Now back to MrHappy's story. Can't wait!

Besides the king, I'd have to say Albertosaurus. [img]http://www.sdnhm.org/archive/exhibits/mystery/images/fg_albertosaurus2.jpg[/img]

Of course the king is my favorite. Next in line is probably Daspletosaurus. [img]http://img.rp.vhd.me/4509011_l2.jpg[/img] 30-33 ft long and 3-4 tons I also like Yutyrannus [img]http://planeetanihmeet.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/yutyrannus-vc3a4ri.jpg[/img] 26-30 ft long, 1-2 tons Oh, and if any of you question my choice of Yutyrannus, well, just look at the next pic!

Teratophoneus due to it's cool name!

Tarbo and Z-Tyrannus have teeth that are thicker than most large theropods, but not as thick as Tyrannosaurus. Kinda in the middle. Tarbo and Z-Tyrannus have enough differences to classify them as separate species. Now, that also means that they would have been competing for the same food source. Both would be expert fighters when it came to fighting other large theropods.
