Tyrannosaurus rex vs Alamosaurus

Episode 5 of Clash of Giants Tyrannosaurus rex vs Alamosaurus Tyrannosaurus rex At a staggering 40-50 ft long and 7-10 tons, Tyrannosaurus was without a doubt the biggest predator that ever walked the Northern Hemisphere and is in the running for the title of biggest land predator ever! With a bite force of 3-9 tons per square inch and teeth over 13 inches long, few dinosaurs could withstand an attack from the king.

America. They averaged 70 ft long and 30 tons, but some isolated fossils suggest a size comparable to Argentinosaurus and Paralititan, perhaps as large as 100 ft and 60-80 tons or more! Alamosaurus was truly massive. [img]http://www.wikidino.com/wp-content/uploads/Alamosaurus-texas-geology.jpg[/img] Fight- A lone Alamosaurus is on the move. He is looking for his herd which left him behind. This old male has trouble keeping up, but is determined to rejoin them. However, he is not alone. Stalking the titan is a pack of Tyrannosaurus'. The group is made up of an alpha male and his mate, his brother, and two sub-adults which are the alpha's children. The tyrannosaurs begin to surround the sauropod on all sides. They caught the alamosaur in a small clearing surrounded by thick forest. Perfect to set up an ambush. The sauropod begins to sense not all is as it should be. He stops to scan the forest. Suddenly, 8 tons of muscle slam into his left flank. The alpha female has launched her attack. While the injury is not serious, it does distract the herbivore. As he circles to meet the attacker, the brother moves in. He slashes the alamosaur's back right leg. He circles to meet this new threat, and as he does, the two sub-adults charge in. Together, they bite the sauropod's left shoulder, crushing numerous bones. The alamosaur swings his neck and knocks the young predators away. The alpha male then charges in and bites the alamosaur's right side hard. The herbivore is bleeding heavily and has broken bones. The sub-adults get up and roar at the giant. The alamosaur rears up on his back legs. He comes back down in order to crush the youngsters. The brother leaps in to save them. He slams his head into the sub-adults to get them out of the way. But it is too late for him. The sauropod comes down and kills the brother with a foot to the neck. The alamosaur begins to move off. The tyrannosaur gather around their fallen family member and mourn his sacrifice. The alpha male looks up and watches the departing alamosaur. As a snarl comes across his lips, he thinks, We will finish what we started! 3 Hours Later The alamosaur is still bleeding heavily. He enters another clearing in the forest. The clouds are darkening and thunder begins to rumble. Night is coming and somewhere in the distance, lighting strikes. The sauropod stops to rest. In the darkness, the tyrannosaurs begin to form up for the final attack. They will avenge their family member. Thunder booms overhead and rain begins to fall. The sauropod can smell the predators, but can not see them. Lighting strikes and, in the flash, he catches a glimpse of the alpha male, his fangs covered in dry blood. His blood. That's when the attack comes. All the sauropod sees is a flash of teeth. He swings his tail wildly in an attempt to strike one of his tormentors. But they are too fast. Bite after bite start to take their toll. The female lunges in and grabs the sauropods front leg. He uses his neck to swat at her. He is successful and she lets go. As she does this, the sub-adults rush in and bite the sauropod's flanks. They think to themselves, This is for out uncle! The alamosaur falls to his knees. He looks up and sees the towering silhouette of the alpha male. He looks down at his fallen rival. The last thing the alamosaur sees is the massive jaws and teeth of the male. The tyrannosaur grabs the head of the alamosaur in his jaws and with the force of 18,000 lbs per square inch, crushes it, killing the sauropod instantly. Thunder continues to boom, but not even that can drown out the triumphant roars of the tyrannosaur family. They will not soon forget their fallen family member, but they will sleep better knowing that his sacrifice was not in vain. Winner- Tyrannosaurus rex [img]http://wallpoper.com/images/00/33/67/47/dinosaurs-tyrannosaurus_00336747.jpg[/img] The tyrannosaurs had one weapon in particular that helped them win. It was not their strong jaws or sharp teeth. It was the family bond that they shared. When the alamosaur killed the brother, it was all over. Those tyrannosaurs were not going to let that alamosaur get away with that. It really shows why Tyrannosaurus rex is the king of dinosaurs. Next time on the season finale of Clash of Giants A tribute to the winners of the previous battles and a "bonus" fight to go along with it.
