T-Rex/Spinosaurus comparison

I know lots of other discussion are just like this, but I am trying a different way of comparing them. Advantages: Rex- Huge bite force, binocular vision, sense of smell, intelligence Spino- Huge arms, huge claws, more intimidating (appearance) Disadvantages Rex- Tiny arms, slow, if it fell, it would likely die Spino- Weak jaws (by comparison), slow, likely death if it fell Uniqueness Rex- Oversize head, tiny arms Spino- sail, huge arms for large predator, swimming Known for Rex- King of the dinosaurs, one of the largest carnivores Spino- Beat Rex in JP3, sail, bigger than Rex How is this? Are my thoughts reasonable? Feel free to make any corrections, add something, and enjoy.

Sorry Spino Rex, but the thing is, we shouldn't have had to go there in the first place.

Sorry S-Rex. Hones toy, I would have let it slide, and the I read the "Stating the obvious" and the "Childhood hero" remarks, and as if that wasn't enough, the "Title it doesn't deserve" remark REALLY ticked me off. So I'm sorry for that.

But i didnt go to that extent. Pictures never even crossed my mind, and if they did, i never would have done it, partially because i never even post pictures, lol, but i never want to express things through picture because they are too harsh. Perhaps now is a good time to change my profile pic...

I think so. I tried to explain it to you one time, but the picture didnt work. Sorry about that too though.

How bout if this topic is ever brought up again( I don't care who brings it up) we just ignore it? I don't want another war taking place because I KNOW it won't end well.

 

This is my last word on the matter

 

Rex Fan out

I think the spino in jurassic park showed more resemblance to oxalaia, well in size anyway, and a side note spino was 7-23 tons.

One thing you forgot is that the T-rex is pretty blind it can only see stuff that moves so stay hide and stay still people

*facepalm* I tried ignoring this, but seriously? That was a myth invented by Jurassic Park. Fact is, T-Rex had binocular vision, and it could see for miles.

Even as a Spino fan, I would have to say it would win 5/10 times. Most of Spiny's wins would consist of intimidating its opponent into forfeiting.

With more study we have found out that T-rex also hunted in packs to kill lager pray. Spino hunted alone when forced to scavege he is more to die off starvation. There for Rex would have been the most highly advanced land carnivore at his time. Dont forget that Rex had to keep his head always on the object its facing on do to its big head. Spino has one major flaw to even if it didnt fall on its sail if any amount a force would kill it.

If I could be anything I would be a Trex.

I don't see a big reason why Spinosaurus wouldn't beats Tyrannosaurus Rex in a battle. I mean did they didn't live in the same timeframe but Spinosaurus had a advantage with its claws. Yes, Tyrannosaurus Rex did have an advantage with its job but if it really would depend on teh setting and time. I think most of the time spinosaur would win. Like 85% Spino - 15% Rex

We have such little information about Spinosaurus to really prove anything about it. We don't actually know how big its arms are. Scientists are just using the same proportions as other Spinosaurs to estimate Spino's size. 

 

Just as an example, let's say a 30 foot long Spinosaur has 3 foot long arms. Using those proportions, a 50 foot long Spinosaur would have 5 foot long arms.

 

The only fossil evidence we have of Spinosaurus is a few ribs, a few neural spines, and part of a skull.

 

I think Rex would most likely win 90% of the time.

I'm not actually sure either. Well, my opinion is that Rex was heavier, stronger, and all around more fit for predator vs predator combat. That's me though, and everyone is welcome to disagree if they feel like it. Just don't get pissy about it because that kills the fun of a debate.
