I think it's kind of funny how frail Spinosaur's jaw was, but how ferocious a predator it's made out to be. It was phiscavorious people!

That, and Guanlong kind of opened the gateway to large carnivorous therapods. This early Jurassic animal was a huge resemblence to the Ceolophysis, but it had a Monolophosaurus like crest, and fed on other Guanlongs and smaller dinosaurs. Nice point mrhappy!

I love Guanlong! And it is truly unique to that extent that mrhappy brought up.

Btw, my profile picture is a Charcharadontosurus

Oh man, I own the movie! I love that scene though!

True that! I'm not trying to disrespect the spinosaur, I'm just stating neutral facts

And you should get the megalasaur jaw. I can't believe complete full size skeletons made of resin are on the market!

If you want to see a North African giant kick T-Rex's ass, watch JP3 if you haven't. Still, Rex vs Charchar would be a good fight.

Dude, thanks for the reference! I'M in love with this place now!

Well, you know what your talking about. Careful about saying Spino had a weak bite force (it angers some Spino fans)

I love this site! Nice job dude! You should add some more dinosaurs over time though. One I'd like to see is Balaur Bondoc. Keep up the good work!

Both are still a little mismatched.

Maybe 2, but I don't know about 3. If 2 is rough, then I don't know what to call 3.

Very accurate^ couldn't have put it better.

Awesome. You should give us a schedule soon.

Of seasons 2 and 3.

T-Rex was probably opportunistic. If there was a carcass and a wounded dinosaur, it would probably go for what's closer. If there was a healthy dinosaur and a wounded dinosaur a ways away, it would likely go for the wounded dinosaur. If there was nothing but a healthy trike, it would leave it alone unless it was starving and had nothing to lose. T-Rex would likely go for the easiest meal every time.

I like Rex fan's scenario too, but I think if they did hunt in packs they would be impromptu, since there was so little evidence.

Bahariasaurus is already on there.

Based off of some evidence that I've found, I would lean a little bit more twords Carnotitans eating anology, but Rex fan's scenario is increadibly accurate.

Tarbosaurus isn't as good as Tyrannosaurus or Spinosaurus. It would lose for sure. Deltadromeus is a good replacement. Maybe Bahariasaurus.

Hunter of wounded/small/juvenile/old dinosaurs- 30% of the time Hunter of healthy, large dinosaurs- 11% of the time Scavenger-58% of the time Canibal- 1% of time

*Di Long

It really does resemble a Di-long. The yutyrannus is missing the small Monolophosaur-like crest though, and it's a few hundred million years later than Did Long

It may also be dependent on the individuals. Some Rex's may have been "friendlier" than others and were willing to form packs. An individual adult rex could bring down whatever it wanted, except the titan Alamosaurus. The only way T-rex could bring him down, is in a pack. Much like Giganotosaurus and Argentinosaurus. I think adult rex's raised their young until adulthood. My theory is that female rex's could stay with the pack and make it bigger or leave. Males would be forced out. Kind of like lions today.

T. Rex was built like an opportunistic carnivore. It had the size, sight, bite and relative brain size of a hunter. However, it had the smell of a scavenger. It also wouldn't have been a major runner. Juveniles had a good chance of forming packs, since they would have been too small to bring down larger animals alone. Full grown Rexes hunted in mated pairs at best, probably as ambush predators. Scavenging when possible.

It's kind of like an overgrown Di long. With some differences of course.

Yeah, that was the mt accurate Dilo I ever saw and one of the best depictions of Tyrannosaurus.

I love the way they depicted Rex in when dinosaurs roamed America! They also had a great Dilophosaur too!

That's why I said that rex was bigger. That's not my main point in this debate. Hunter- 70 percent of the time Scavenger- 25 percent of the time Cannibal- 5 percent of the time That's how I break it down at least

Ostriches and roadrunners don't have the risk of killing themselves if they fall like a multi-ton Rex did.

Oh, so it was. Sorry! I got thrown off because of the arm size

It was a little more primitive than others, but Yutyrannus is a tyrannosaur. Helps prove that they too had feathers.

I think the best depiction of Tyrannosaurus hunting is seen in When Dinosaurs Roamed America.

No Yutyrannus is a tyrannosaur.

If it had the chance, it would eat carrion. It doesn't make a difference when you're a dinosaur. They weren't picky. The easier meal was preferable.

First let me say that Yutyrannus wasn't considered a Tyrannosauridae. My favorite is also Daspletosaur though, because it was the evolutionary forerunner of Tyrannosaurus rex

I like Daspletosaurus a lot. Gorgosaurus and Albertosaurus were alright. Tarbosaurus was too close to T-rex. My favorite non-rex tyrannosaur is probably Daspletosaurus. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2a/GorgosaurusDB.jpg/220px-GorgosaurusDB.jpg[/img]

I have hate mail... You left us! WTF dude! I haven't been on this site in a while because of you! I'm bored out of my mine now! (No offense to any other posters. Your posts are good, but they're just not the same as DinoFights.)

I more or less agree. T-rex probably preferred fresh meat, but, as with most carnivores, would not pass up a free meal. I think to make up for it's lack of running ability, relatively speaking, it was a pack hunter. Scenario- A herd of Edmontosaurus is feeding in a clearing in the woods. Suddenly a juvenile rex of about 20 feet long runs out at em. He can run nearly 30 miles per hour and hold that speed. He chases the Edmontosaurs and then a second juvenile runs out. They cut off one of the duck-bills. They then chase the hadrosaur a few hundred yards. Out of no where, a huge adult rex smashes it's teeth into the Edmontosaurus and kills it with a bone crushing bite. Dinner is served. Also, those people who think that T-rex's arms were a sign of a pure scavenger, then, I hate to put it this way, but you're almost certainly wrong. Many modern day carnivores like wolves and crocodiles are successful hunters and they don't use their front feet. I don't entirely agree with the thought that T-rex could not run fast because of it's arms. Roadrunners and ostriches don't have long arms and they can run quite fast over decent distances. Sure T-rex is much bigger and couldn't run that fast, but the principle still applies.
