Well Xenotaris, thanks for agreeing with me on this.
T.rex simply has the evolutionary advantage. And Carcharodontosaurus's eyesight is terrible. It can't see jackshit when looking straight ahead.

You admitted to anthropomorphizing your dinosaurs, but also The T. rexes keen vision would alter the outcome of the battle, it can see right in front of itself while the carchardontosaurus would of relied heavily on its scent of smell; Vision is more reliable in direct confrontation than smell. Also I said Tyrannosaurus is the smartest of all Large theropods, it not been able to build traps nor create tools but intelligence doesn't mean out-right sapience but a tyrannosaurus would still coordinate better than a carchardontosaur would due to its slightly higher intelligence, but you gave your dinosaurs human personalities there for your dinosaurs are sapient with sapient goals like revenge.
Your Bear hypothesis, the female bear doesn't always win either; The male bear's goal is to kill off the female bear's cubs so she could mother his children and sometimes this happens.
alright I will also talk about Pterosauromorph evolution as well
@Xenotaris- Where in the fight do you think binocular vision would apply? (I don't mean to sound sarcastic, just can't figure out where.)
Also, the Carcharodontosaurus being less smart does not make Tyrannosaurus smarter. The Tyrannosaurus' intelligence would not do much good; intelligence usually only make a big difference if an animal is a genius- Tyrannosaurus was not. It wasn't going to set traps or anything, or create tools, especially a tool capable of bringing down a pissed-off 13-16 foot tall powerhouse. And even if the Tyrannosaurus was intelligent, I highly doubt emotional sensitivity would be included in its array of mental advantages.
I will keep coming back to this example- male bears lose their faces when they anger a female bear with cubs. It doesn't matter how smart the male is, or how much stronger or faster or better vision; unless it has a gun it's not going to win. The smartest decision would be to flee.
Lastly, I think (and this may have been partly my fault as writer) that you are over-understanding the feelings. What I mean is that thoughts seem very simple to you, but that's because you don't think in words. The thoughts were not nearly as complex as I made them sound; they were more of feelings that I converted into words, which made them sound more complex and human-like in the process.
The stakes are upped because this is The End. Thank you so much SR!
GORILLAGODZILLA - How fantastic! You have greatly ramped-up the stakes in this new series! Fantastic work! The wait was certainly worth the reward! Thank you ever so much for taking the time to create this and share it with us! :)
ok......*is sad and depressed*.......
I think I will discuss Dilophosaurus evolution next.
Egypt went through South America, and up a seaway to reach North America. Don't forget The End took months to reach the climax.
(Wouldn't Spinosaurus live in Africa and be extinct too? I'd like to know how Egypt got to North America.)
Other than that one detail, I enjoyed the first chapter. I'd like to see where the story heads.
Actually Allosaurus was in the Jurassic period and right now we're in the Cretaceous sooo Allosaurus has evolved.
Allosaurus did not exist in the time of the story. Abelisaurus is what he was. Are you hyped man?
And thanks Shiro!
Bruh, Difference is an Allosaurus, not an Abelisaurus, an Allosaurus
GORILLAGODZILLA - You are quite right, my friend! :)
LONE - I know! Is it not beautiful? I am very convinced that the Carcharidon Megalodon still exists to this day! :)
Yeah, I should probably finish that one. Working on it, just limited time and motivation.
Nice find SR!
Really indicates how massive Megalodon was (or is, haha!)
On the other hand it looks like a big shiny heart, which is kind of neat!
Also this post is expanding my knowledge on Dinosaurs as i can only recognise them and state their traits.
Your welcome, I'm sure I could expand the Topic soon.
Idw looks like an Gallimimus or Archaeopteryx...Also my favourite dinosaur discovered in recent times is Dakoraptor too!
I love Spinosauridae! The Baryonichinae evolution is very interesting. Also i agree with you as much as i love Jurassic Park 3 and Planet Dinosaur, their description of our Spinosaurus is wrong. If you see the photos of Stromer (i spelled his name right?) the fossils were OVERSIZED!! I have the National Geographic journal of the 2014 Spinosaurus with me and Ibrahim's decription is quite good and respects the laws of physics as for the size and posture. Also if we should have more animals than dinosaurs! Like the marine reptiles and the flying reptiles. Thanks Xeno for posting the Spinosaurid evolution :D!
Also Tyrannosaurus has perfect binocular vision something Carchardontosaurus lacks, hint Carchardontosaurus's eyes are on the side of its head rather than in front like T. rex.
I love how menacing, yet birdlike that footprint is. It perfectly preserved the talons against the dirt, this animal was walking I believe, based on the lone footprint and how well it is imprinted in the dirt. When running it would have been a very light indentation, and not entirely preserved--especially from a smaller theropod predator like this.
Dakotaraptor sure is getting popular, i know why it is because it not only lived along side Tyrannosaurus but it is the same size and discovered roughly in the same place as the Jurassic Park movie Raptors.
Both of you have good points but I dislike humanized dinosaurs when it comes to versus match since it alters the playing field and drives the dinosaur question beyond its normal capabilities I mean that is the reason why you decide to humanize them rather than going in with a more natural scenario where the two beasts are just driven by instincts.
Regardless Tyrannosaurus has a more advanced brain than Carchardontosaurus there for would have a greater capacity to understand the world around it. Tyrannosaurus would of been a genius compared to Carchardontosaurus. Applying that to the humanized dinosaur personalities, I think Tyrannosaurus would of observed that the Carchardontosaurus was enraged and would of turned its rage against him.
"Your emotions have clouded your judgement and for that you have made a fatal mistake" Tyrannosaurus said coldly, "You were 10 million years too late to defeat me"
LORD TYRANT - Very well-stated, my friend! :)
LORD TYRANT - Hmm...now that is a very good question! I would have to say my most favorite, recently discovered dinosaur is Cryolophpsaurus! :)
All the attacks mentioned above would involve throwing body weight around, and when you're an 8-10 ton creature getting pushed around by another 8-ten ton creature, that's pretty risky. In other words, each of those was a gamble. If it hit, good for the Tyrannosaurus. If it missed, it would unbalance its ten tons, get hit by another ten tons, fall and get very injured.
What's your favourite dinosaur found in recent years? Mine is Dakotaraptor steini
They say every cloud has a silver lining.
This is the silver lining of Hurricane Mathew
Don't forget T.rex wouldn't have solely used the jaws. Ramming, skull ramming, slicing with the teeth, knocking over and clawing with the talons, all of these would have been used.
Carc claws are about as useless as rex claws. They were probably used, similar to T.rex, for holding onto mating females, or holding onto the torso of their prey whilst they clamped onto the neck in a hunt.
Then there's the claws. Carcharodontosaurus' claws were much better developed than those of T. rex. The tyrannosaur's arms, though muscular, would have been virtually useless in a fight; I find it much more likely that it used its tiny forelimbs to.. uh...Well, what practical uses are there for Tyrannosaurus' arms? Whatever use there was for them, it would be the same for Carcharodontosaurus but 2 or 3 times more effective. The claws on a Carcharodontosaurus would be a much better weapon than Tyrannosaurus claws, though the still relatively small forelimbs for each of them would probably not have influenced the fight. If it did, it would most definitely be in the Carcharodontosaurus' favor.
Carcharodontosaurus isn't that fast, but one or two seconds is probably not enough time for a Tyrannosaurus to re-position itself. Also counterbalancing after an attack could throw the T. rex off balance, while the Carcharodontosaurus attacks or moves out of range. It isn't just the jaws but the dinosaur itself- Carcharodontosaurus was slenderer, more agile and probably faster. It wasn't that Carc was extra fast- T. rex is just slow for an animal its size, with all the muscle needed to balance out its massive head.
