Why i think Spinosaurus was the biggest

Spinosaurus Rex

Ok guys, im sorry about getting nasty about this debate, its just that I get very serious about dinosaurs and what i know, especially this debate. And also this site has been glitching on me for some reason, i wish i could figure it out. So im gonna start out fresh. There has been 30 or more T-Rex skeltons ever found. The majority of them have been preety close to the same size, so it must have been the average size. On the other hand, there has been only one Spinosaurus skeleton found, and it wasnt even complete or well preserved anyways. But , there was enough evidence that it was the largest carnivorous dinosaur ever found. So, with that being said, it was very very likely that there more that were even bigger ones. It could be a coincedence, but it its extremely unlikely that it was since there was only one ever found. Largest T-Rex out of the 30 or more skeletons - Length: 43 ft./Height: 14 or 15 ft. First and only Spinosaurus ever found - Length: > 60ft./ Height: 20 ft. or more No one knows which one had more strength or power or which one is more powerfully built. In my opinion, Spinosaurus would be. Its just common sense (to me) that it would be. Now let me state my reasoning. Spinosaurus had to have great strength and power to move itself, and even more to defend itself/kill bigger predators than T-Rex, like Sarchosuchus, Charcarodontosaurus, and Mapusaurus (Mapusaurus wasnt as big as T-Rex, but it was preety close). All that T-Rex had to worry about was other T-Rexes and smaller predators, like Dinonychus and Nannotyrannus. He probably had to scare them away from his kill or already dead animal. Spinosaurus had to deal with much bigger dinosaurs like the ones i mentioned earlier (Sarchosuchus, Charcarodontosaurus, and Mapusaurus). Spinosaurus probably had to fight/kill other Spinosauruses for thier kill, like a big fish or a Paralitian (believe me, im preety sure Spinosaurus was able to kill and eat sauropods). Im also preety sure that T-Rex had to fight or kill other T-Rexes for the same thing. Please, nobody descibe this as being biased, and also, i would like to use a substitute for the word biased, its getting kinda annoying to me, what do you guys think? What about the word prejudice, that sounds better to me. And again im sorry for all of the chaos ive caused, please forgive me.

I don't think a full grown T-Rex or even a pair of full grown T-Rex would hassle an adult Ankylosaurus unless they were starving and there was no food for miles around. I bet they would even take a Triceratops over an Ankylosaurus. Ankylosaurus was a beast for how dumb it was.

I know, but still, it would if it was hungry enough.

T-rex also had Alamosaurus to deal with. An average adult was nearly 70 ft long and 30+ tons. Some bones of Alamosaurus suggest it may have been as big as Paralatitan or even Argentinosaurus. In order to attack an Ankylosaurus, T-rex would have had to have the brains to figure out how to flip it over. T-rex certainly was smart enough. However, it was also smart enough to realize it meant almost certain injury or death to tangle with that prehistoric tank.

I know what you mean. But if was do or die, then the circumstances would change. Let's just move on. Confirmed, T-Rex would not attack Ankylosaurus unless it was desperate.

Yes, that's the situation with a lot of things in nature.

Hey Spinosaurus Rex! I'm with you that Spinosaurus was bigger. Although if the two were to fight each other, based off of Rexes build, I feel like Tyrannosaurus Rex would win, but that's just based off of the skull of Tyrannosaurus. Spinosaurus had a slightly frailer jaw. I think that over a long term period though, Spino would die, because Tyrannosaurus Rexe's bite was filled with bacteria. I'm not a Rex or Spino fan, so I stand rather neutral on this argument, but even if Rex had scavenged, I feel like it may have a better chance at winning. Thanks for reading Spinosaurus Rex

what a great discussion! but i swear there is like a million of these all through this site! lol My view is always with T Rex! this is just due to his beast of a skull that is like a crash helmet in dinosaur terms, and just through being the most evolved and being smartest! so who ever he would fight or not fight, he would prob know how to survive the best for using his brain. Weoponry in terms of claws n use of arms he is pretty naff! but cant have everything. When attacking prey they were all apex predators in their time within their environments. When u have prey that isnt armour plated , you dont need bone crushing jaws. If u live in a swampy watery environment having long arms, the ability to swim with a long body ull succeed hense y spino was so perfect for his environment. its like comparing who would win out of a polar bear , grizzly bear, and a lion or a tiger. also i dont think any of the big predators would take on a sauropod unless they were in a pack or if it was a jouvenile , it wopuld be far to dangerous for them. it makes sense if u look at animals today how often do u see a pride of lions take on a giraffe or elephant ??? dont happen! they klnow where their breads buttered!! just something to think about :)

We know there are a like a million other discussions just like this, but does this one have any arguing over which is better? You got a point how they were apex predators in their time and are adapted for their environment.

Rex Killer I never remembered to say anything about your comment. I think Spino got real big not just to fight off other large carnivores but maybe to intimidate them (not saying Spino can't fight, between size, the sail, and possibly the ability to change the sail's colour, that probably would have been enough to intimidate a lot of creatures).

I do agree that they tyrannosaurs would kill each other for kills but spinosaurus didn't really need to he could catch fish easily ,maybe during a drought they would though
