MemberCompsognathusJanuary 09, 2014We all know that Tyrannosaurus Rex but it also had its own personal enemy. How would the king of all dinosaurs have an personal enemy I'll tell you. It is another Rex but its know as the rex killer its name is Nano-Tyranosaurs. This preditor hunted young adolescent Tyrannosaurus or younger to lower the population of its compition.
If I could be anything I would be a Trex.

I was seeing that coming as another Rex vs. Spino thread. Thank God it didn't happen so.
BTW, that could happen, but I personally see Nano-T as a juvenile T-rex. That being said, basing off of what you said, some juveniles could be cannibals, haha.

I saw the title "Rex Killer" and thought this would be a Rex vs Spino, or something new of interest (a disease, or a new north American super predator, for example). Everyone on this forum knows what a Nanotyrannus is, what it did, and it's size and role. I personally have known about NanoT since I was 10.

I see NanoT as a species of it's own. Different teeth (thinner, more knifelike), different posture (head slanted down, not parallel to the ground).

Well, it's still a juvenile for me (even T-rex adult specimens are always different to one another. And I'm not talking about size)
But, oh well, Nano-T as a species on its own isn't excluded, so I respect your point of view.

Exactly, and I respect yours. I see the Juvenile thing as plausible though (it doesn't hurt to look at things from both sides). I know about the differences, but that's not so much posture as it is body variations (small feet and large eye sockets, large nasal passages and oddly positioned legs, not sure of other things though, those were two that came to mind).

Yeah, I'm not loosing anything -
And yes, there are some differences.

That's fine. I'm not changing my opinion either, but hey, debates like this are fun, as long as we keep our cool and dont take it too far.

New kid, we dont "know" if trex is the king of the dinosaurs. Just throwing that out because that there is what ignites these outrages ;)
True. You can get to some good results through debates that, as you said, don't need to go too far away. Some of the best theories are created that way. ;)

We just say "King" because that's what Rex translates too. If Spino had "Rex" at the end, we would most likely refer to Spino as "The King," and he who gets annoyed when Rex is refered to as "The King," would be calling Spino "The King." It's all in the meaning, that's what I go by at least.

Apparently your not looking at what im lookin at, the DASPLETOSAURUS guys said in exact words "we all know Tyrannosaurus was the king of the dinosaurs".
Sorry. I saw that, I was just giving an explanation for future reference.

See Nano-Tyranus is a very different the our every day T-rex it has a highy toxic bite the could kill a rex within a few minutes if got a e rexs it hold of the legs. It also with more study about Nano-Tyranus it was found to have serrated teeth in the front along with the dagger like teeth like T-rex.
If I could be anything I would be a Trex.

Im going by what I study and if Im not mistaking T-rex was the most highly advanced carnivore of its time after we found out that Rex could hunt in pack up to 3-4 of them including their young. There for Rex was "King" of the dinosaurs do to all others feared it.

NanoT was about one thousand pounds in weight, twenty or so feet long, and seven feet tall (give or take). I HIGHLY doubt it had a poisonous bite. It had a bite that was about 500 PSI (give or take), enough to kill a young Rex (equal size or smaller), and enough to piss off an adult. NanoT was probably a scavenger, and it may have had an INFECTIOUS bite, not toxic bite.

About the King thing, just don't, most people accept Rex as the King of the Dinosaurs, but there are a few who HATE Rex more than a small child hates vegetables, so don't call Rex King of the Dinosaurs. I still call him "The King," but that's it.

Well, everything you said could very well be true, as for the lowering of the population though..well, that didn't work very well did it? NanoT is fairly rare in the fossil record whereas T.rex is comparably common as dirt. It seems like, despite all this attention Nano gets as a "T.rex killer" it was quite clearly being out-competed by it's larger relative & smaller Dromaeosaurs & Troodontids.
Length 17 feet (5m)
Weight 1ton (900kilo)
But this smaller Tyrannosaurus isnt afraid to take on the Tyrannt Lizard King
If I could be anything I would be a Trex.

We can't leave out the study of this rare dinosaur. scientists have found out that Nano-Tyranus had an toxic in its mouth is like a Kamodo it weakens their pray in order to kill it. They in fact did hunt and kill young juveniles to lower Trex population but if it didnt go as plan the Nano would be killed by the adult or had to flee to live another day.
If I could be anything I would be a Trex.
