This is my top 10 largest Theropods, you will probably see some BIG surprises. Also sorry because I won't be giving a descrption about the theropods because I am tight on time right now. You may not see pictures because my old and stupid computer can't recognize them, so if a moderator, staff, or admin could edit it to have pictures of theropods that would be great. Anyways lets get started:

 

 

10-Suchomimus

Weight: 5.5 tons

Length: 11 meters

Diet: Fish and possibly other Dinosaurs like Ornithopods and Sauropods.

 

9-Torvosaurus

Weight: 6 tons

Length: 10 meters

Diet: Probably other Dinosaurs lke Sauropods, Ornithopods, Nodosaurs, and Stegosaurs.

 

8-Tarbosaurus

Weight: 6.5 tons

Length: 11 meters

Diet: Probably ate dinosaurs like Ornithopods, Ankylosaurs, Ceratopsians, and even other Theropods.

 

7-Acrocanthosaurus

Weight: 7 tons

Length: 11 meters

Diet: Other Dinosaurs like large Sauropods, Ornithopods, Nodosaurs, and Ankylosaurs.

 

6-Tyrannosaurus

Weight: 8 tons

Length: 11 meters

Diet: Other Dinosaurs like Ceratopsians, Ankylosaurs, and Ornithopods.

 

5- Deinocheirus

Weight: 8.5 tons

Length: 14 meters

Diet: Probably ate fish and plants and might have scavenged like modern-day bears.

 

4-Giganotosaurus

Weight: 9 tons

Length: 12 meters

Diet: Other Dinosaurs like huge Sauropods and Ornithopods.

 

3-Carcharodontosaurus

Weight: 9.5 tons

Length: 12 meters

Diet: Other Dinosaurs like large Sauropods and Ornithopods

 

2-Spinosaurus

Weight: 10.5 tons

Length: 15 meters

Diet: Probably fed on large fish and aquatic reptiles.

Side Note: Bet you thought Spino would be first, eh?

 

1-Oxalaia

Weight: 11 tons

Length: 15 meters

Diet: Probably fish and other Dinosaurs like Sauropods and Ornithopods.

Side Note: Seriously, who was expecting this?

 

So yeah, that was my list. There were some BIG surprises in there, I may add some honorable mentions, so stay tuned for that. Anyways tell me what you think of my list below!

I'm curious why T.rex is so "small." 11 meters? I supppose I can see an 8 ton weight estimate(after all, I estimate it at 7-10 tons, so it's in there), but 11 meters? Sue, Stan, Scotty, King Kong, AMNH 5027, Wankel Rex, CM 9380, and so many others are bigger than that. Also, Oxalaia at 15 meters and 11 tons? Eh, probably not. 14 meters is the highest length estimate I've seen and even that's generally regarded as too high. 12 meters and 5 tons or so is more likely. The Deinocherius weight seems high as well. All in all, I agreed with this list until we hit number 6 on it, then it went "down hill" in my opinion(but that's just me).

 

PS- my mod functions have been acting up as well

Largest Mapusaurus specimens were esimated at 100-110 % the size of MUPCv-ch1, so it likely approached 13 m.

Btw Wikipedia gives a 3 t figure, but they say more than 3 t, so it's intented to be a lower bound. Wikipedia didn't use the largest specimens as there is no published estimates for them, and Wikipedia can only use published informations.

3 tons was for the ~10.5 meter individual. They didn't really discuss the larger ones
