Thing is though, unless it was desperate and had no other choice, Rex probably wouldn't have dared attack one in real life in the first place.

That would be one heck of a battle.

With your size estimates I agree with these results but at the high end estimates for Anky and Rex (35 & 43 feet, respectively) I'd give it to Anky.

I facepalm every time I hear "82 foot Liopleurodon". The size is based off of the monster of Aramberri, a related pliosaur. I vote no for Amphicoelias vs Rex because a Rex win would be sure to happen even of it didn't make sense. Better fights would be Smilodon populator vs Inostrancevia, Utahraptor vs Achillobator, Saurophaganax vs Spinosaurus, Huaxiaosaurus vs Tyrannotitan, Gigantoraptor vs Deltadromeus vs Therizinosaurus, Suchomimus vs Sauroniops and Ekrixinatosaurus vs Mapusaurus.

In JPOG, the Rex wins the death duel by swinging it's head down and grabbing the Spino's throat. He basically mangles it and then twists the Spino's head nearly 180 degrees. Is this accurate, maybe. Is it inaccurate, maybe. Same goes for the JP 3 fight.

Awesome. Glad you liked it.

These are all very good ideas. I like the Liopleurdon vs Leedsicthees. Deltadromeus, I too feel that Liopleurodon was 8-85 ft long and perhaps nearly 150 tons. But, I could be wrong. Heck, we could all be wrong. Good ideas though guys.

Anyway, I elect a WWD sized Liopleuodon vs. a Leedsicthees. It could be a pack of Liopleurodon, but still

Maybe a Pliosaur of the same Chordata. I just don't think it would neccesarily be a Liopleurodon, but one that looks identical to it

It was a combination of Spino's hands neck and jaws, as well as Rex's inexperience, being a juvenile, and a scavenger according to Mr. Horner, probably never fought in it's life. Looking at it scientifically, Spino won for the reasons listed above. Slink also won because Horner wanted it to win. Spino may have been taller, but it could have worked against it too. Rex could have attacked Spino from below the same way Spino could have attacked from above. @Deltasromeus15 A Ram 2500 Mega Cab is a pickup truck that weighs about 3 tons. I also drive tractors at my place (manual is fun and easy for me).

Good point. Since Spino has the advantage of height, he was able to attack from slightly above. While I think that Spino's wrist action was in fact superior to that of Rex and other therapods, I don't think Spino's hands alone could break Rex's neck. The wrist action would be developed for groping in rivers, grasping and clawing for fish, but not for breaking bone, like Rex's jaws. It was the combined motion of hands, neck, and jaws that made Spino the victor.

You can believe what you want, i still think that, somewhere, there is an 80 foot long Lioplurodon skeleton just waiting to be dug up. Or maybe there is no skeleton, but if you use a time machine, you will find one that is 80 feet long.

Eh. 42 feet tops. WWD was a pretty innacurate show if you look into it enough.

I have always thought Lioplurodon was 82 feet long and I still think so.

YES!! Please underwater fight.

I like the idea of an underwater fight. Maybe we could do a WWD sized Liopleurodon and a Leedsicthees? IDK how much of an opinion I have because I'm on the team, but I think that could work

What about an underwater fight?

Spino used his height advantage to get his jaws from horizontal, to vertical. This twisted Rex's neck to the killer position. An also, Spino might have had the wrist flexibility.

Great fight! Can't wait for the legendary Velociraptor vs. Protoceratops!

Spino's way [i]would[/i] be wrong if he was attacking fish, except he is fighting a Rex. Spino makes good use of his arms in twisting Rex's neck, as well as his powerful neck muscles to twist, along with his long jaws, not bone-crushing, but ideal for gripping Rex's neck. I would agree that Spino's methods were unusual, but in combat with a Rex, they were just right. That's an interesting point. Who knows if Spino was the first of embryos created, or if it was the offspring of several others? This makes me wonder why Malcolm and Sarah didn't run into one in The Lost World.

territorial fight my friend... many ways we can do it, i did state that it can be from any time line either island, herbivore or carnivore

Therazinosaurus was a herbivore. Mosasaurus vs Shonisaurus.

Im sorry but were taking giga off the market, mainly because we have FBR plans for it... Rex fans idea which was actually a good one was stegosaurus vs Therizinosaurus -Paden

Deltadromeus vs Ceratosaurus. Or for a big fight, Oxalalia vs Giganotosaurus.

Eh, you already know what I have in mind. But paden is right, we have a rough idea on what we want to do, but we are always open to suggestions. Keep in mind, these need to satisfy everyone. Or at least as best as possible, if you know what I mean. Thanks guys.

Oh yeah. Spino used it's hands and arms far more than Rex did. T-rex is all about the jaws and teeth while Spino is all about the arms and claws. Basically, they are polar opposites when it comes to how they fight and hunt. So we all agree that the way the Spino won was wrong. Not saying that Spino could not win once and a while, but not like that. In my opinion, he would have won by slashing the throat of the Rex with his hand claws. On a different note, I have an interesting thought. The Spinosaurus has been said to be a male. Or at least that's what I've heard. If it's a male, then did it change gender like the original dinosaurs in the first JP, or is it the offspring of earlier Spinos? We know that the Rexes, Raptors, and many other species were reproducing, but were the Spinos? If they were, that raises another question. How many other Spinos were on the island? If the one from JP 3 simply changed it's gender, then perhaps only 1. But if it was the offspring of other Spinos, then there would at least be 2 others, am I right? Just another unanswered question I thought of. Or perhaps iGen just made it a male and did not bother making it female because they never planned on having more than 1 Spino. I don't know. This thought is becoming more complex the more I think about it, haha

I also watched the scene several times. I see what you mean about the wrist action, but Spino's action is a combination of wrist AND neck. And you must admit, Spino's wrist action relative to Rex must have been at least slightly more powerful. It's arms were built for scooping and grasping, all in the hands and wrists.

I'm not talking about the neck muscles. I'm talking about the wrist action. If you notice, he holds the Rex in his jaws and places one hand right above the shoulder region and the other on the Rex's head. He then twists his hands and snaps the neck. He was simply using his jaws, and neck muscles I suppose, to hold the Rex relatively still. But he used his arms/hands to do the twisting motion. Spino, along with just about every other large theropod out there, did not have the wrist action needed to perform this. I watched that fight a few times to make sure I was getting the neck-snapping part right.

Know what? The battle or the 45 ft Rex?

Yeah, how do you know Rex Fan? (Sorry, not trying to sound rude.) We can only estimate these things. Like I said above, in the case of the Jurassic Park III fight scene, Spino's jaw strength doesn't matter. It's his [b]neck[/b] strength. Spino has a good grip on Rex's neck, not powerful enough to crush bone, but strong enough to keep hold as he TWISTS Rex's neck, snapping it. His jaws are holding, but his NECK is twisting. Spino was a massive, powerful predator, quite capable of twisting and snapping a rival's neck. The jaws don't matter in this instance. That's what [i]I'm[/i] getting at.

I loved everything about this. Can't wait for episode two

I guess, I just noticed that as you pointed it out.

I liked the conclusion very much, but the frill in the picture is fairly innacurate

How do you know?

It did twist the Rex's neck. That snapped it. But Spino could not have done that in real life. That's what we are getting at. I really don't "like" Horner that much. His theories on Tyrannosaurus are so off in my opinion. In another bonus feature, Horner stated that he had uncovered a 45 ft long Tyrannosaurus and a hadrosaur of similar size. I will be honest I don't know what happened with that Rex, but if it was 45 ft, then it was 2-3 ft longer than Sue and would be the biggest T-rex yet discovered. Just figured I would mention that.

Good point. It would have just been another "Albertosaurus" to him. Something he's dealt with before. He was wrong and payed the price.

They existed, haha. That's about it.

Well, he hasn't seen a T. rex yet, this is about the time when they where just starting to show themselves.

Nice. I thought Quint would have had more sense that to mess with a baby tyrannosaur. He really had no chance against an enraged mother, especially when that mother is the queen of the dinosaurs. I will say you did surprise me. I thought it would come down to Quint fighting the Albertosaurus' from the first episode. Nice twist.

I thought that Spino twisted t Rex's neck to the wrong position and that killed it. Mr Happy, is that a tractor, because I hate driving tractors.
