MemberCompsognathusOctober 11, 20141961 Views20 RepliesSo as the total says I would like to know your favorite. I just absolutely love allosaurus, they are one of the most diverse theropod family groupsbof all.
as for me, I don't really have a favorite since I love them all. I though if I had to pick it would be my childhood fav, allosaurus. Second would be acroanthosaurs. And the others are up for grabs. Now this question relates to ALL allosaurids species from erectopus to giganotosaurus. Now what are yours?
Not completely sure, but Carcharodontosaurus is up there, as is Allosaurus and Saurophaganax.
Jack of all trades. Master of none
So carcharodontosaurs are included then? Ok. then I gotta go with Tyrannotitan. It's like a T.rex and a Giganotosaurus got together, had a baby, and it turned out to be hell on legs. Plus it's huge(12 meters long and 5 tons)...
I like Giganotosaurus and Allosaurus.

Pretty big variety of favorites here. In my raptor post, almost everyone was partial to Utahraptor, haha
TYRANT KING - What a fun topic! Hmm, I'd have to go with either Giganotosaurus or Saurophaganax! Both were extremely interesting theropods! :)
Epanterias hands down!

Ssuronhaganax is cool, but my fav has still got to be Epanterias, one reason is because that its name was easy to pronounce;)

sauro-phag-a-nax ;)
I use to call it sauroganax

If carcharadontosaurids are counted, then I will go with Giganotosaurus. It's just the biggest and baddest of them all.
Ties for 2nd is Allosaurus and Saurophaganax. I cannot forget The Ballad of Big Al, BBC did a great job with the design. And in that show, it had Allosaurs reaching T.rex lengths, so I'm thinking that maybe Saurophaganax wasn't supported too much in terms of having enough evidence to be determined to be a different genus of allosaurid.
EVERYONE - Doesn't Saurophaganax roughly translate to "The greatest eater of reptiles"? I've read a few articles concerning the animal and that always seems to be the meaning of its name. :)
it means lizzard eating master. and yes alphadino, carcharadontosaurids are iinclude.

Almost forgot, I'm a fan of Siats too. A 9-12 meter long, 2-4 ton hypercarnivore is quite something, not to mention the first giant carnivore found in N. America in over 60 years...
