What Expert Said about Rex VS Spino

Time To end the fanboy Wars up !

this is what the expert saids about the war youre speaking about Rex VS Spino

Tyrannosaurus rex and Spinosaurus did not live together. Spinosaurus (estimated weight up to 20 tonnes) lived in North Africa about 35 million years before T. rex (7 tonnes) terrorised the plains of North America. The only place they have ever been seen alive together is on the island of Isla Sorna in Jurassic Park 3.

In JP3, T. rex, the fearsome anti-hero of the first two Jurassic Park films, has apparently fallen on hard times. She is seen eating from a carcass, presumably that of an animal killed by the island’s true apex predator, Spinosaurus. When Spinosaurus spots the worthless scavenger, it attacks. T. rex initially gains the upper hand, biting down on Spinosaurus’ neck. But the newcomer eventually wins out, snapping T. rex’s neck like a twig with its huge arms.

This sequence is based on the ideas of the famous palaeontologist Jack Horner, who has advised on all three Jurassic Park films. It is Horner who first put forward the idea of T. rex as a scavenger – although it should be noted that even he doesn’t really believe that Rexy only ate carrion.

Defending the JP3 fight, Horner pointed to Spinosaurus’ eight-feet-long skull and 60-feet-long body, explaining that, based on the animal’s length, it was the most ferocious animal ever and calling it “an animal basically the size of a whale walking around eating things”.

The key differences in weaponry between Spinosaurus and T. rex are outlined in the documentary show Monsters Resurrected. T. rex has 30cm-long teeth set in a deep skull which is thought to have delivered one of the strongest bites of any land animal ever and was perfect for tearing, slicing and killing victims very quickly.

Spinosaurus had conical teeth in a long, crocodile-like jaw: not so good for slicing through flesh, but great for grabbing prey and holding it. Palaeontologists have suggested that Spinosaurus might have shaken its head while holding live prey in its jaws. The prey would probably suffer a broken neck and bits of flesh would start tearing off.

Spinosaurus also had an advantage over T. rex in the arm region. While Rexy’s arms continue to baffle scientists with their comical shortness, Spinosaurus’ arms were no laughing matter: seven feet long, with 15-inch claws on the end.

But Spinosaurus had its weaknesses too. That bizarre sail on its back was supported by long bones coming out of its spine. It is thought that if Spinosaurus fell over and rolled onto its sail, it would break its back and die.

So now we know how well armed the contenders were, who wins?

In the Jurassic Park 3 fight, T. rex should have been the clear winner. She gets that vital neck bite in early and it would surely have been a mortal blow against Spinosaurus.

But Spinosaurus fans could argue that in a ‘real’ fight, their champion would never have allowed T. rex close enough to deliver a neck bite. Surely one slap by the 15-inch claws of the 20 tonne Spinosaurus would be enough to kill the 7 tonne T. rex…
