Why T-Rex is better

@futurepaleantologist I said nothing about binocular vision. As I stated, Rex wouldn't have required acute eyesight because he would be out in the open.

Oh, sorry. :(. Who was that then?... But, if I may follow up on your open plains thing: Tyrannosaurus still would need to look out for obstacles like large rocks, fallen trees etc. It didn't require great eyesight, but T. Rexes may not have been good enough. Btw I am NOT a spino fan. I don't think either Rex or Spino was better, I'm just bringing some stuff up.

That's fine. It's eyesight may not have been that good, but most likely it was. Notice that most animal's senses are usually attuned not only to get food, but also to their surroundings. I strongly believe that T-rex's eyesight would have been strong enough for it's surroundings. And again, large rocks and fallen trees would most likely not be found in the middle of plains. Well...maybe rocks, but you get the idea. Yes, I know you are neither Team Rex or Spino - you are Team Carchar. Don't let me get in the way of your opinion. :)

Tyrannosaurus almost certainly had good binocular vision. Futurepaleontologist1, you said earlier that Allosaurus' eyes were similar to Tyrannosaurus' and it had bad vision. Allo had eyes placed more to the side while Rex had forward facing eyes like a wolf or lion.

I thought Allo's were slightly closer. I didn't really say they were the same as Rexes eyes, they were just binocular.

Well, they did not have binocular vision. Their vision was similar to some tyrannosaurs like Albertosaurus, but not as good as T-rex's. The eyes faced forward and were closer than many herbivores, but were pretty standard when it came to the predators. Tyrannosaurus had unusually good vision for a big carnivore.

Tyrannosaurus Rex would win because of superior bite force. T. Rex's bite force was the largest in the animal kingdom (over 5000lbs, 2x more than a saltwater crocodile) and its teeth were specifically designed to crush through Triceratops horn and Ankylosaur armour. By comparison, the teeth of Spinosaurus and other large theropods like Giganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus were like giant meat hooks, great for holding the prey with its jaw, but the larger claws did most of the work. In addition, T. Rex possesed a mouthfull of bacteria which would infect bitemarks. So even if the bite from T. Rex didn't kill the prey, the biological weaponry would...

I don't think even the largest of T-Rex could bite through an Ankylosaurus's armour. A Trike's horn would be a battle, but it is possible. More than anything, the teeth could crush bone if it got a good bite in. What is going to help T-Rex against Ankylosaurus is intelligence. T-Rex would probably leave Ankylosaurus alone unless it was desperate.

Probably. If it was hungry enough, it would be smart enough to realize that if it flipped the ankylosaur, it would be an easy meal. That's where Tyrannosaurus' intelligence comes into play.
