10. Velociraptor 6 ft long, 100 lbs Despite their small size, Velociraptors were among the most dangerous dinosaurs. They had intelligence, killing claws, and speed. They also hunted in packs. 9. Ceratosaurus 23 ft long, 1.5-2 tons Ceratosaurus was a pretty large carnivore. It hunted in pairs and trios. Ceratosaurus also had some of the largest teeth compared to body size of all the large predators, 6 inches long! 8. Carnotaurus 25 ft long, 2 tons Carnotaurus was slightly larger than it's earlier cousin Ceratosaurus. Like Ceratosaurus, Carnotaurus had horns on it's head. However, these were not thin blades, but thick powerful spikes. 7. Daspletosaurus 33 ft long, 3.5 tons Although not as large as Tyrannosaurus, Daspletosaurus was still a large, dangerous carnivore. Das' had 7 inch teeth and a top speed of 20 miles per hour. They also hunted in small packs. 6. Utahraptor 16 ft long, 800-1,000 lbs Even though it was not as smart as later dromeosaurs, Utahraptor made up for this with it's size. It is the largest raptor found to date. It's killing claw was up to 10 inches long! 5. Spinosaurus 45-56 ft long, 4-6 tons Spino was the longest carnivore ever to walk on land. Spinosaurus may have had somewhat weak jaws and teeth, but it had massive arms and claws. These were perfect for dispatching fish and small dinosaurs. They would have also been useful in tearing open carcasses it found. 4. Allosaurus 30-33 ft long, 2-3.5 tons Allosaurus was the king of the Jurassic. Al had large teeth and big claws. It's hand claws were up to 6 inches long. It's likely that they also hunted in packs. 3. Carcharodontosaurus 36-40 ft long, 5-6 tons Car rivaled Spino in weight and was somewhat more powerful. It had long, steak knife like teeth and had a top speed of 15-20 miles per hour. 2. Giganotosaurus 43-46 ft long, 7-8 tons Giga and Car were very similar in body design, but Giga was somewhat larger and smarter. Giga likely hunted in packs to bring down large prey like titanosaurs. Giganotosaurus was the largest carnivore that ever lived in the southern hemisphere. 1. Tyrannosaurus rex 45-50 ft long, 7-9 tons Tyrannosaurus was by far the deadliest dino of all time. It was huge, strong, fast, and intelligent. T-rex had a bite force of up to 9 tons per square inch and likely hunted in packs. Tyrannosaurus was the largest terrestrial carnivore that ever lived in the northern hemisphere, and quite possibly the world! Questions? Comments? Let me know.

Wait... Hold up... T-Rex wasn't 50 feet long. Sue is the largest T-Rex known and she's 40 feet. It is estimated that they could get 43 feet before death. Based on some toe bones, one individual was placed at 46+ feet, but it is now thought that he had an infection that caused his bones to swell, much like in Sue's leg. And what's up with the "largest terrestrial carnivore that ever lived in the northern hemisphere, and quite possibly the world!" Part? We already know it wasn't the largest in the world. Spinosaurus was. T-Rex was in the north. Sorry if I came off as rude, just wanted to point that out.

^He's right^ Rex was 40-43 feet and Spino was probably heavier and definitely longer. I'm a Rex fan too. Just pointing out facts.

Guys, this was not about size, but deadliness. I think T-rex was the deadliest of the top 10. You're the one to talk Spinosaurus Rex, you're the one who refuses to believe that Spino could lose to Rex. Either way, I have my opinions and I do my own research. This was not about size. Besides, I'm not biased. I put Spinosaurus in my top 10 did I not? I could have excluded him altogether or at the very bottom. But guess what! He made it to the number 5 spot which is not too bad.

I'm not saying T-Rex wasn't the deadliest, I'm just saying your facts are a little off.

Your facts are a little bit off (but nit much). T-Rex was for sure one of the deadliest carnivorous dinosaurs. Spino may not have been super deadly, but it was deadly enough to defend itself. Spino fans seem to like to complain about how biased T-Rex fans are, but they are just as bad. Good choices for the top 10.

im sorry i forgot to include its deadliness, and also i believe this fight could go either way, but i think spino would usually win because of its size, strength, arms with hands that have 3 foot meat hooks, im sure its bite would give it help because im also sure it had a preety good bite force, and intelligence.

Spinosaurus is a specialist, while T-rex was adaptable enough to take over large areas of the earth. But although Tyranosaurus has more advantages, the animal kingdom is never exact.

I appreciate your views. My size estimates may be a little different than most, but they are in the ball park. It all depends on who you ask really. Glad you guys like my top 10. It was hard to pick because there are so many, haha. PS- I understand your views as well Spinosaurus Rex. I get what you mean and I'm sorry if I came of a little biased. We all have our own opinions.

Some Spino fans like to complain that T-Rex fans focus on the "only" thing that would give T-Rex a chance which is the bite force. Most Spino fans have the thought that because Spino was bigger, it was stronger (maybe true, but not enough fossil evidence). The other thing Spino fans like to focus on is the big meathooks Spino had. So stop complaining about T-Rex fans being biased and focusing on the "only" thing that would give T-Rex a chance if you are going to do the exact same thing. Spino may have had a good bite force, but it's teeth were to small to do any real damage to a Rex.. We have confirmed proof that T-Rex has a massive bite force capable if crushing bone. We also have proof T-Rex could take a bite from another Rex and survive, so a Spino's bite probably wouldn't to much to a Rex. The meat hooks Spino had were it's biggest advantage. If you want to list some of Spino's advantages, go to my recent discussion.

Here is what I'm throwing out there: Based off of vital statistics, I believe that Giganatosaurus should be at the top followed by Charcharadontosaurus, And here's why. Firstly, it is increadibly debate able that Tyrannosaurus Rex was an agile hunter. It's femur was longer than it's tibia by about a foot, and this pattern is opposite in quickly paced agile dinosaurs, Such as velociraptor and Balaur Bondoc. Secondly, Tyrannosaurus Rex was not fit to relatively risk a chase. If it fell it would break it's arms, it's ribs and injure it's spine. There's that, and Charcharodontosaurus( my personal favorite) and Giganotasaurs were far more fit to run at higher top speeds, and any animal that could bring down Argentinasaurus was pretty impressive. Tyrannosaurus Rex is probably obsolete as a hunter and more likely a scavenger, and therefore should be further back on the list. Charcharadontasaurus and Giganotasaurus were just bigger, and more predatorial animals, and therefore, more ferocious. Thanks!

Oh, and if I may, I also believe that Ceratosaurus shouldn't be on this list. I do like him as a hunter, but he wasn't very powerful, or large, and was considered obsolete by the late Jurassic period. I believe that a more apex predator should be on the list, like maybe Dilophosaurus. Although it's skull was fragile, prey was weaker and smaller in the early Jurassic period, and it was stronger, faster, and wittier than Ceratasaurus, relative to his time period. Thank you for listening to my criticism!

I chose not to include Dilo because it was slightly smaller than Ceratosaurus and not quite as strong pound for pound. Ceratosaurus was pretty deadly. It had to compete with Allosaurus, and while it was rarer, it held it's own.

I see your reasoning, and I do not disagree, however something you might want to keep in mind: Intelligence contributes largely to the ability to be ferocious

I know what ya mean. I agree that Dilo was fierce. For one thing, it was one of Ceratosaurus' cousins. Just thought I would mention that ;) [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Dilophosaurus.jpg/220px-Dilophosaurus.jpg[/img] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/23/Ceratosaurus_nasicornis_DB.jpg/220px-Ceratosaurus_nasicornis_DB.jpg[/img]

T-rex had the highest biting power, intellect and also a very agressive behavior, so, there is no way on earth that a fish muncher like spinosaurus could do any noticeable damage to rex with his baby teeth and feeble jaws. Those claws for grripping are nothing. One bite from t rex could break lil spiny's neck. So spare me that cowardly fish chomper's size. T rex ate such ones for breakfast. And all spino fan's, (NO OFFENSE) but you speak as if spinosaurus was a real apex predator.

Didn't think anyone would comment on this again, but I've been wrong before.

 

Man, I've wanted to say that SO many times it's not even funny.
