My Top 10 Deadliest Theropods

This is the list I'm putting on the theropod wiki, just wanted to run it past the forum first. I did the list based on how deadly they were in their environment, not in combat. This is also based on my opinions, so please don't get mad that Spino didn't make the list, I was heavily considering it though. #10: Ceratosaurus: The Horned lizard Ceratosaurus was a mid sized carnivore of the Jurassic. It had a bite force of about 4 500 PSI, and it had some of the largest teeth in comparison to body size of any dinosaur. It lived alongside Allosaurus and Torvosaurus, and Ceratosaurus was a solitary hunter, sometimes hunting with a mate. Ceratosaurus weighed about 2 tons, had three little horns on its head, and hunted anything Stegosaurus size and smaller, making it a deadly carnivorous dinosaur. #9: Deinonychus: The Terrible Claw Deinonychus was a Dromeasaur that was around 8-11 feet in length, and had a large sickle like claw on its feet. It hunted the Hadrosaur Tenentosaurus, and likely lost many members in some battles with this dangerous prey. It was fast, agile, and intelligent, a deadly combination. It weighed around 400 - 500 pounds, so it was also large for a Dromeasaur. #8: Tarbosaurus Bataar: The Alarming Lizard Tarbosaurus Bataar was a large Tyrannosaur from Mongolia, beaten in size for Tyrannosaurs by only the king itself, T-Rex. Tarbosaurus hunted hadrosaurs in the Mongolian desert, but it could have picked off Protoceratops at will. Tarbosaurus was less robust than T-Rex, with a bite force of around 10 000 PSI, a thinner skull and teeth, and even the smallest arms in proportion to body size of any Tyrannosaur. It likely weighed 5-6 tons, and it's main competition would have been Zhuchengtyrannus, a similar sized Tyrannosaur from the same area. #7: Albertosaurus: The Alberta Lizard Albertosaurus was a pack hunter, living in packs likely ranging from 3-10 members for the most part. It had a bite force of around 2 000 PSI, and it hunted the Cerotopsian Pachyrinosaurus. Albertosaurus, unlike it's much larger cousin Tyrannosaurus Rex, was very fast and agile. Albertosaurus weighed roughly 2-3 tons, and was highly intelligent. #6: European Torvosaurus: The Savage Lizard Torvosaurus was likely a solitary hunter, hunting almost anything in it's environment. It's bite ranged from about 10 000 to 12 000 PSI, and it was about 3-5 tons in weight. It could likely kill anything up to Diplodocus, which was light-weight for a sauropod, and likely competed with Allosaurus. #5: Velociraptor: The Speedy Thief Velociraptor, made famous by Jurassic Park, was a three foot long, hundred pound, feathered hunter from Mongolia. It hunted in packs of around six members, and hunted Protoceratops and similar sized creatures in the desert. It was highly intelligent, very fast, and had a deadly sickle claw on its feet that could tear into prey. #4: Allosaurus: The Other Lizard Allosaurus was a pack hunter, often in a pack ranging from about three to seven members. Allosaurus had little competition when with a pack, but on it's own, it would likely have competed with Ceratosaurus, and even the European Torvosaurus. Allosaurus lived in North America and Europe, had a relatively low bite force of around 5 700 PSI. It hunted everything it lived with, ranging from Stegosaurus to the sauropod Camarosaurus. #3: Charcarodontosaurus: The Shark Toothed Lizard Charcarodontosaurus had a bite force around 8 500 PSI, was likely a a solitary hunter, taking sauropods such as Paralititin, hadrosaurs like Ouranosaurus and Igaunadon, and it may have competed with the slightly longer Spinosaurus, though unlikely due to their diet preferences, the scavenger Rugops may have been the biggest issue for Charcarodontosaurus, along with the prehistoric crocodile Sarcosuchus. It's teeth were similar to a shark's teeth, hence the name Shark Toothed Lizard. #2: Giganotosaurus: The Southern Giant Giganotosaurus (pronounced jye-ga-no-to-saw-russ), was an allosaur from Argentina, South America. It had a bit force of roughly 9 000 PSI, hunted in large packs to bring down prey such as Argentinosaurus, and competed with other large theropods such as the abelisaur Ecrixinatosaurus, the Spinosaur Oxalaia, and of course, other Giganotosaurus. While it's bite was roughly equal to predators such as Charcarodontosaurus and Tarbosaurus, it was larger, being roughly roughly forty eight feet in length. It would hunt large sauropods in large packs, and likely lost many members in such attacks. Giganotosaurus also had dagger like teeth that were great force cutting through flesh. #1: Tyrannosaurus Rex: The King Of The Dinosaurs I chose Rex to be #1 because it had a bite force ranging from about 6 800 PSI to 18 000 PSI, hunted Ankylosaurus, Triceratops, and Edmontosaurus, lived in family groups of around five members most likely (parents, and three chicks), and while it didn't have competition from the theropods that lived in the same area, Deinonychus and Nanotyrannus, it had competition from other Rexes. T-Rex had one of, if not, the most powerful bite forces among dinosaurs, and Tyrannosaurus had a mouth full of serrated railroad spike teeth. Tyrannosaurus lived in family groups of around five members most likely. One of the parents would likely stay behind to watch the chicks, while the other would go hunting, or both would go hunting with incredible effectiveness. When a T-Rex walked outside of it's own territory, the only thing it had to fear was attack from a larger Rex.

Great list. All the dinosaurs on it deserve a spot up there. Well done. PS- Maybe include pics next time ;)

How's the detail by the way? I planned 10-5 during English class because I couldn't think of anything other than the top 4.

Thanks, that's the main thing I was after. I'll add pictures tomorrow when I sign in. Going off topic, did you copy/paste the URL for the truck, because I did that with DinoSteve, and he thought it was a nice truck.

No, I didn't. If you give it to me, I'll check it out. Can't wait for the pics.

For $500, my dad would have gone out to take a look if it wasn't an hour away. I'll probably end up making a discussion about my truck as son as it's painted. If things go my way, I'm putting stacks and a lift kit in it eventually.

Nice. $500, that's not bad at all.

I know. It needs an exhaust manifold, probably got one of those laying around somewhere though. My dad's one friend has some ploughing that needs to be done, and I'd probably end up doing it, so my dad (of we get the job, probably will) is trying to come up with some form of payment for me, and I keep hinting at the truck. Hopefully next Saturday we'll go check it out. If my cover pic is blue Chevy by the end of next weekend, you'll know we bought it.

Nice. You should get a JP flag to put on it ;)

What I'm gonna do is get a custom backscape of the Jurassic Park logo. It's gonna be sweet by the time I can actually drive it on the road.

I know. I'm still mad at my brother for taking the Jeep, but I guess the jokes on him because I'm getting a badass truck instead. I'm still mad at him though.

I'd be mad too.

Like I said, jokes on him, I'm getting a badass truck. If he tries to take the truck, there will be hell to pay for him.

Good choices, also the Spinosaurus seems built to be a fish eater, or to kill some medium-sized dinosaurs. That Spinosaurus from JP 3 is very exaggerated and fanciful, and seems more based on speculation that reliable evidence, but this is just my opinion of course.

I agree with you. [img]http://wonjae.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/spinosaurus-dinosaur-picture.jpg[/img] The skull is too robust, 2 crests instead of 1, claws are too curved, sail too small, ect. Planet Dinosaur showed a much more accurate version... [img]http://images.wikia.com/planetdinosaur/images/6/66/Spinosaurus.jpg[/img]

Very cool list. If it has to do with the environment they were in I'd maybe add dilophosaurus to it. He was the top predator of the early Jurassic.
