Jurassic Park IV Superpredator

Also, for your candidate for superpredator, what are some traits of this dino you want played out or think would make it a great predator? What scenes in the movie could you envision for it, how it interacts with humans as well as other dinosaurs? -J

Id like to see Baryonyx make its debut. I dont know that much about dinos other than what I know from Grant . Thats all i got i dont feel like typing on this ipad lol.

Baryonyx is cool.... Although I feel it is a little too similar to Spino if we're exluding him and Rex. Otherwise, cool! Baryonyx could open up some river scenes/boat scenes because it was a fish eater. [img]http://www.wikidino.com/wp-content/uploads/Baryonyx-1.jpg[/img]

I am a huge Tyrannosaurus fan, but there are some other cool large predators out there. Allosaurus would make and interesting superpredator. I would like to see more of Ceratosaurus, but he is a little small for a superpredator. Acrocanthosaurus would make a decent carnivore. There are many options. But like I said, I am a T-rex fan. What's cooler than a giant predator running 25 miles per hour and has a bite force of 3 to 9 tons per square inch?

There's nothing much cooler than that! Hopefully if nothing else Rex will regain some turf in JPIV!

i have a feeling we'll see t rex again but he'll have a new rival... not spino, Baryonyx could work for a water predator that tracks the group through the island, but we need a BIGGER dinosaur meaner then ever before.... how about we list possibilities, dilophasur, gigantasaur, Baryonyx, t rex, raptors, utah raptors and a few more bigger ones (i cant name them off the top of my head) im for the new dynasty of the dilos

@rex fan id hate to burst your bubble but allosaurs was SMALLER then rex it was in-between that off juvenile rex and utah raptor how ever thats a good possibility

How about a Giagntosaurus? It's bigger than t-rex and spino and it is a dinosaur you don't hear much about. You could have T-Rex and Spino in it, and you could also have a pleisosaurus for a underwater fight (2 against each other) and malcom down there to witness because Kelly (his daughter has fallen off the boat they were on

It would be different but what if there was water dinosaurs,like the Mosasaurus or the Elasmosaurus.

Gigo wasnt bigger than spino, possibly more robust in mass but spino was about 3m longer , expected up to 16 m long . To me length dont mean shit its about the girth :p hahaha Kiddin!!!! But in dino terms i dont like ther term "bigger" being used when technically its mainly down to tail length tht determins this. At the end of the day a giraffe is longer than an elephant, what one would u say is bigger! I wouldnt be votin giraffe put it that way. Its even believed carcharodontosaurus was a big dude too with no recognition ! Very similar to giga, relatives to a certain degree. Both dumb asses tho compared to rexy boy. So hell still kick all their arses!!!!! :) mwahahah

@x_paden_x so you think Rex [i]won't[/i] be in Jurassic Park IV? Even if they have another superpredator antagonist, I can't imagine Trevorrow leaving him out!

BTW, I know Allosaurus was smaller than a rex. I just meant he would make an interesting canidate. A pack of Albertosaurus would also be cool. I would love to see a Liopleurodon in the movie. With a possible adult size of 85 feet and 150 tons, it's even bigger than a blue whale. Of course, he would be limited to the water, but that could work out too.

I would love to see: 1. Allosaurus 2. Baryonx/suchomimus 3. Giganotosaurus 4. Carchodontosaurus 5. Daspletosaurus And btw liopleurdon wasnt bigger than the blue whale. The blue whale is so far the largest living mammal that ever lived. It can reach up to 100 ft in length. But anyway i would love to see allosaurs in jurassic park maybe it can fight a t rex. Or maybe baryonx can fight a suchomimus in a river battle Who knows we can only make assumptions until the poit is revealed

While blue whales can reahc 100 feet long, they usually weigh about 85 to 115 tons. If, I do stress if, Liopleurodon reached 150 tons in weight, then he is heavier, and therefore bigger. But who knows, I could be wrong. I think Suchomimus would be a better choice than Baryonyx for one main reason, it's bigger. Baryonyx= 32 feet long and 2.5 tons, Suchomimus=36 feet long and 3 tons. Either would be cool though.

@[b]RexFan[/b] and [b]JVANNEST[/b] in JPIII Billy actually mentions Suchomimus speculating what kind of dino was the Spino, so that could be interesting to see Sucho.

Acrocanthosaurus would also make a good superpredator. At 36+ feet long and 3 to 4 tons, it's a pretty good size. A species of abelisaur would be interesting to. Not as a superpredator, but something like Tarascosaurus or Aucosaurus would be interesting. Or you could have 2 Majungatholus, the cannibal dino, fighting. There are too many options, haha

Ceratosaurus was already in Jurassic Park. The 3rd one. When they got off the boat and were searching for the phone in Spino poo. That reddish Dino that showed up was it.

I doubt liopleurodon was heavier. But the blue whale isn't the animal that ever lived. Sauropods like argentinasaurus, sauropodsiden, amphicoelias were longer.

I'd like to see Utahraptor, Charcarodontosaurus, Giganotosaurus, and maby see some herbivores fight some carnivores.

They should a Carnotaur in Jurassic Park 4 a big one to and make look like one from the walt disney movie dinosaur

of the top of my mind: 1. Leviathan Melvillei 2. Deinocheirus 3. Predator X 4. Giganotosaurus 5. Charcharodontosaurus 6. Megaraptor That's it for now

A pack of Albertosaurus would be cool. A bunch of mini T-rexes running 30+ miles per hour. Mapusaurus would be cool too. I would like to see an abelisaur of some kind. Whether it be Carnotaurus, Tarascosaurus, Majungatholus, I really don't care. I just think they should get some recognition.

I'd like to see Utahraptor it would own. Maby a crocodile like sarocosuchus or deinosuchus. I wouldn't want to baryonyx or suchomimas because they r too much like Spinosaurus.

Liopleurodon wasn't even close to the size of a blue whale. It was maby 50 feet in length at max. It's skull was only 5 feet. A Blue whale has a 19 foot skull.

I know, T.rex was the most powerful of all, but apart from tyrannosaurids (T.Rex, Daspletosaurus, Tarbosaurus) the second most powerful were the Carcharodontosaurids (Giganotosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Mapusaurus, Tyrannotitan).

guys were not going to see velociraptor replaced or another dromeasaurid of its size in the fourth instalment for one reason IT WOULDN'T WORK velociraptor was about knee height they switch its name around with that of another dromeasurid (cant remember its name) because velociraptor sounded more fierce.

They used the size of Deinonychus. It's skull was also more like that of Deinonychus. Like you said, Velociraptor just has a better ring to it, plus, it's a little easier to say, haha. Perhaps they should have a Therizinosaurus. Not as a superpredator of course, but those things are pretty cool. They're big, 35 feet long and 3-4 tons, and they have 10 foot arms with 3 foot claws! Maybe a Therizinosaur could face off against a big meat-eater, like Spinosaurus or T-rex, and use it's claws to defend itself. Just a thought

I am looking at both lioplurodon and kronosaurus. look at the kronosaurus.

Personally, I prefer T-Rex to keep his main role as the big super predator out to get ya but if they are to have another one (not Spino) then I think a marine dinosaur is the way to go, either a Leopluradon or Mosasaur will do.

I believe that there should be an ocean scene with a new ocean predator . . . Liopleurodon and Megalodon should have a fight around a ship, maybe?

If JP4 takes place in one of the islands we already know (Isla Nublar & Ilsa Sorna), I don't think there could be a new superpredator... Ingen already created Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus, and that's enough, 3 species of giant carnivores just couldn't live together on such small islands... But to hell logic and continuity, I'd really like to see Carnotaurus. I know it was not as big as T. Rex, but it was still 9 meters long, and it was a very swift runner, it had two big horns on its head and its neck and jaws were designed to deliver quick slashing wounds. Carnotaurus just seems to be a very cool dinosaur to include in a movie. Also, I like the idea of an ocean predator, but I don't see how it could fit in the movie... Ingen just would not have created a monster that could have swum away and attack every fisherman it met... Not very discreet! But still awesome!

Kronosaurus [img]http://imgur.com/6ytOzPb[/img]

I think Acrocanthosaurus. Besides a large mouth like trex or giga, It had large claws that it used to take down larger Dinos like sauropods (brachio could be attacked) and it has a little spine on its back like Spino, but it kills in a whole nother way.

Thanks, JVANNEST! I forgot about dapsletosaurus, a close relative of tyrannosaurus, they could duke it out bc daps had longer arms but Trex was still heavier.

i personally liked spinosaurus but if they introduce a new predator i would like gigantasaurus or some other large therapod that is almost 40 feet or more long.

Carnotaurus or adult Dilophosaurus. The new predator doesn't have to be huge, it can be an elusive creature with a peculiar ability like the chameleon like effect of carnotaurus in the TLW novel. I think it can bring great suspenseful moments to the JP movie and stay original/true to the source material.

These i would i love to see: Gorgosaurus Megalosaurus Albertosaurus Carcharodontosaurus Majungasaurus

@Dinotrypod I would definitely love to see an underwater predator. It hasn't been done before (at least in respect to JP) and it could create suspense and thrill for audiences. It would certainly help Trevorrow and crew to deliver on an "epic" scale. However I think having a fight between two MASSIVE underwater creatures would take up too much screen space and possibly add a cheesy factor. One predator swimming around causing chaos is plenty, in my opinion. @Bombillazo I also agree that the predator doesn't have to be big to be epic! Thanks everyone for your input!

Before I give my hopes for a new superpredator, I would like to point out that Allosaurus wasn't as small of a carnivore as people seem to think. Two dinosaurs, both Saurophaganax and Epanterias, were the biggest carnivorous dinosaurs of the Jurassic (alongside Torvosaurus). They were easily the same size as predators like Tyrannosaurs. And both Saurophaganax and Epanterias are likely actually new species Allosaurus, as recent studies have shown. This would mean if Allosaurus was featured in a Jurassic Park film, the producers would be more than capable of masking it size up against a T-rex, and maybe even a Spino.

However, the superpredator I would love to see in the new JP is Mapusaurus, or a similar Giganotosaurid (like Giganotosaurus or Carcharodontosaurus). Mapusaur's were killing machines, and would of preyed on massive sauropods, such as Saltasaurus and Argentinosaurus if they hunted in packs (which they likely did). I would also like to see some dinosaurs from the original JP novels, like Carnotaurus with it's made up chameleon ability, and Apatosaurus as the new giant. And why not include the Nodosaurid, Crichtonsaurus. I mean, it was named after Michael Crichton (the author of the Jurassic Park and Lost World novels) after all!
