First pic - the Jurassic Park III fight scene; the second picture is Nanotyrannus. @Deltadromeus -- Where did you find your first picture? It's cool!

I agree, Giganotosaurus.

Good idea.

Giganotosaurus, it is a bit heavier.

That ferocious dinosaur is one of the main reasons why i want to watch jurassic park 4 so HECK YEAH!,BRING HIM BACK

Yes, yes I am.

I believe it was in the 5-7 range.

You really are obsessed with raptors. haha!

@x_paden_x a written fight

The fight was by far the greatest fight i ever read! and it was wayyyyyyy better then the scene in JP3, i love it!

Pretty short but i think you could do better

I'm with #2.

Everyone has their opinions. I think Rex had around a 7 ton bite force.

Trex dont have a bite force of 9 tons, it has a 4 to 6 ton bite.

Nice. Do #2 next!

Haha, whoops, I meant I [i]wouldn't[/i] stop to laugh - that would actually be really horrifying.

I am a big time team REX fan but that spinosaurus pic is F'ing quality !!! I think if JUrassic Park made their spino look like this dude , would be more popular, and probably more scietifically accurate! Withe the narrower snout

the spino pic [img]http://www.rareresource.com/photos/dinosaur-gallery/spinosaurus-dinosaur-picture.jpg[/img]

Pretty good. I think it should be a bit more descriptive, I had a hard time picturing the movements, it is great for a beginner. I'd recogmend you look at other people's fights. Go back a few pages for the dinosaur discussions and read DinoFights's work, and then go on and read the other fights after it. I'd give it a 3

Not bad. I think number 2.

the best i can try cause i have work to do!

Thats the best fight with the t rex i ever read the ending was perfect

Yeah really. I would be laughing too much to realize it's got me in it's jaws, haha

Well, his other features sure made up for it! I probably would stop to laugh at the arms if I was being attacked by one, you know what I'm saying? ;)

And I don't think Spino was heavier. I don't think we are going to convince each other one way or another. We've all got our own theories. I'm going to stick with mine and you can stick with yours :)

[img]http://www.geocities.ws/monchromon/carnotaurus01.jpg[/img] I almost feel bad for him. Such a fearsome appearance. Then you look at it's arms, haha.

Here's what I'm trying to say. I don't think Spino was lighter or leaner than Rex. I think the size of their bodies were the same, but Spino's limbs, skull, and neck were longer. Hence, a tall kid with the same body structure as the short kid. I don't think Rex was heavier.

Well that's what I use to support my theory ;)

I still don't think that short arms means that it was a scavenger like Horner claims. Wolves for example are successful hunters. Do they use their front feet? No.

True.

Somehow I knew someone would bring up the weight factor. :)

As always, we will never know for sure.

That just seems so complicated. More likely he would pin the carcass down with his foot and tear of chunks of meat with his jaws. If the arms were longer and more developed, and had more than two fingers, maybe your take would be more believable.

The tyrannosaurs may have used them for a number reasons. To grip a mate, push off the ground, or stabilize their prey. The arms were very strong and their claws were sharp. For holding prey, this is what I think they would do... A Tyrannosaurus attacked an Edmontosaurus. He holds it with in his jaws, right above the shoulder. He brings it in close using his strong neck muscles. Then, he stabs it in the flank with his hand claws. This helps hold it still. He balances on one foot and uses his tail as well. He slashes with his 10+ inch toe claws and bites down again and again. His hand claws continue to hold the hadrosaur. After a little bit, it's dead. This is just on theory. As far as the abelisaurs go, I have no idea.

How would they make use of their tiny arms? They were undeveloped, short, with short fingers and claws, and diminished wrist action.

But Spino's were even longer than Allosaurus. It's one thing to make use of arms in handling food and other tasks, but it's another to use them on a daily basis, hunting, attacking, etc. But I definitely agree that these two were more advanced in this regard than tyrannosaurs and abelisaurs.

I guess that they do have shorter arms, but I do think those arms were still used. Tyrannotitian had shorter arms than other Allosaurs, it was very tyrannosaur like.
