Rex vs Spino

t-rex

As some of you know I am on team Spino. It was a really difficult decision to make considering I LOVE t-rex and am amazed at the ferocity of t-rex in jurassic park. I agree that it is improbable that Rex would lose to Spino in a fight, because T-rex has the skull, weight, and speed of a killer, while spino mainly ate fish and is lighter and more delicate with that sail-fin. My favorite dinosaur is probably dilophosaurus.

T.Rex would win most of the time (it is possible for T.Rex to have a bad day e.g. JP3). I was actually kind of surprised reading Dinosaur.Fanatic's comment. I have never actually seen anyone who is team Spino, but still agrees T.Rex would win because most of the time, Spino fans are so heavily biased in Spino's favour, that it is comedy more then anything. I am on Team Rex, but I do like Spino. On other discussions on different sites, people said Spino's sail was an advantage, and others said that because Spino had long arms, it could rip T.Rex's head off before T.Rex got close enough (LOL). Anyway, I do wish that there where more Spino fans like Dinosaur.Fanatic, looking at this statistically, not just by which one they like better. T.Rex would likely win due to superior bite force, overall strength, and toughness.

I'm going to set this straight right now for anyone who thinks Spinosaurus would win. T-Rex would win, u can argue it all u want but here r reasons why. T-Rex does have a greater bite force. But that doesn't mean it wins automatically. Spinosaurus had longer arms than T-Rex but that doesn't mean anything. If u look at what the fought and ate during their time you will know the difference between them. T-Rex lived with Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, and Edmontosaurus. It was difficult for T-Rex to get a meal against tough prey. Triceratops 8 foot skull with 3 foot horns. Ankylosaurus was covered in armoured bone and had a deadly bone breaking club. T-Rex had challenges. Now Spino is larger no doubt , had longer arms with big hook like claws. Those were used for fish!! Its snout was long to catch fish! It ate fish! It had its nostrils up closer to its eyes so it could stick its mouth in the water and still breathe. They also killed some juvenile dinosaurs. But those r juvenile. Nothing like T-Rex. Spinosaurus would piss him self if he saw T-Rex coming at him.

Yeah, I think T-rex would win. Spinos sail would probably be a disadvantage. It would make him less agile and was full of blood vessels. It a rex bit it, it would be like a big blood filled cookie for him. Yum, haha. I even think that, while Spino was 6 feet longer and maybe taller, T-rex was much heavier, and therefore, bigger. Spino=4-6 tons, T-rex=7-9 tons or more. Just sayin

They weights were about the same actually, both around 7 tons give or take a ton. That Rex in JP3 was the smallest T-Rex of all the other movies and it was probably a young one too. That was a disadvantage for it.

All of the paleontological evidence points toward Tyrannosaurus taking the cake. He was a larger carnivore when it came to mass, he had to take prey that was not only well armored, but extremely deadly. Spinosaurus ate fish, the only real challenge I could see a Spinosaurus facing would be something like a Leoplurodon, maybe even Predator X. I'm also still quite skeptical on the size of Spinosaurus they've never uncovered a full skeleton, only some pieces. Those were destroyed in a museum in Europe during WWII. I just didn't appreciate the fact that they had a new dinosaur come in out of nowhere with no backstory and take down our tyrant lizard king. Either way, evidence points to Tyrannosaurus defeating Spinosaurus.

I agree. Spino ate fish, small dinosaurs, and carrion. T-rex ate ceratopcians, ankylosaurs, Alamosaurus, duck-bills, etc. Spinosaur was longer, but Rex was heavier and stronger. Spino did live w/ Charcarodontosaurus and the giant croc Sarcosuchus, but would likely back down if he came across one. Tyrannosaurus was also more advanced. More intelligent. He was the smartest, fastest, strongest, and quite possibly the largest terrestrial carnivore ever.

Spino obviosly would have won larger size, heavier, and he had arms unlike t-rexs stub arms. and about this greater bite force no one has seen a spinosaurus also spinos teeth were like a crocs teeth. crocodiles eat large animals such as water buffalo, and zebras. anyway t-rex couldnt have fitten his large fat mouth around spinos large sail anyway.

I like to think the JP3 Rex was old and weaker XD cause im sure Rex would have the advantage in a fight like that. It gives me peace of mind hahaha

Spinosaurus would win.

I think Spino and rex would win equally, they have their own powerful weapons, Spino could easily rip T. Rex's throat out, and T. rex could easily rip Spino's head off, but if they fight, it will be very even.

In a Rex vs Spino fight, they are so evenly matched, that the battle could last for hours, and be ended by environmental factors, what they are fighting for, and experience. I did a discussion on things that could affect a Rex and Spino fight, but it didn't get that far.

Whoa, this post was from a long time ago, but ok. Some of my views have changed since I made this post. Many of you have probably seen my weight estimates for Spino go up from 4-6 tons to 5-7 tons for example. Now, that said, I still think Tyrannosaurus would win about 60 percent of the time. Spino, about 40. Like MrHappy said, it would likely come down to something out of their own control.

I change my opinion. I think that this is a 50/50. Both were huge and dangerous.

If you look at it,why do we argue about this,can't we just appreciate these amazing creatures,the truth is an even match 50% for each,plus they would never fight cause they lived in separate places.

Rex Fan 684,I know T-Rex is your fave but I wanna know if you can look into spinosaurus and post your findings,he may not beat T-Rex or not, we will never know,I just wanna see what you find when you research it.thank you

well spino because he was the biggest therapod to walk the earth no giganatosaurus wasnt the biggest spino was even at juvinile he was bigger than a mid aged t-rex
