Ok, so let me just say this. This post has nothing to do with the fight itself. Please don't bring up the actual battle, OK? 

 

Now then, there's something about this confrontation that has bugged me. Why were the two giants in such close proximity to each other? I know this is a sci-fi movie, but let's look at it from a scientific perspective. Large carnivores typically don't live too close to each other. They need huge territories with large amounts of food and water to survive. This applies to T.rex and Spinosaurus too. Theoretically, they shouldn't have been that close to each other in the movie. When the characters were first attacked by the Spinosaurus, that should have indicated there weren't any other big predators in the area. One could argue it chased them into the T.rex's territory, but the chase wasn't that long. It would have taken them a while to leave the territory of the Spinosaurus and enter that of the T.rex. Long story short, the T.rex and Spinosaurus should have been miles away from each other. 

 

Anyways, like I said, this was a sci-fi movie, but scientifically, this has bugged me for years.

Regardless.

 

They still shouldn't possess the DNA Or instinct to remain apart from eachother due to the Time Periods of Orgin. 

 

But lets go on a limb here.

 

Lets say this Rex, Is infact, The Infant from TLW. 

 

Lets say it's Parents taught it to remain away from some of the Other Predators. 

 

Due to a movement of Prey at one point, Or shortage of them, The Young Buck is forced to move elsewhere to feed. 

 

Thus he comes across the half eaten Carcass that the Spino was eating.

 

Not knowing better, The rex begins eating. 

 

When he follows Dr.Grant's team he comes across the spino.

 

They're seperated by Millions, And MILLIONs of years of Evolution.  

 

The Rex doesn't know to flee or Fight, Going with Instinct, He's claimed this as his terroritorry, Under which the Spino is Impedeing, When It is infact, the opposite way around. 

 

Neither is experienced in what to do, But assuming the Spino Has accumulated a large collection of land, It's assumed he most likely killed or forced out other species. The Spino has the upper hand due to it's Extended knowledge. It doesn't require to Rely on Instinct for this one. 

 

The young Buck has some Knowledge in it, Having killed Prey before, But it's not Expecting another Apex Predator. 

 

The Rex and Spino Duke it out, Ending in the rexes death. 

 

It's in the DNA The rex was going to die.

Paden, technically, the infant from TLW was a female and it's generally agreed upon that it was not the young male from JP3 ;)

That's what I call movie logic. I know what you're referring to. I meant more so if this was a real life situation.

RexFan I'm not 100% sure, but I pretty sure...the infant was a male....

They refer to "it" as a her/she some scenes...then later he/him...and he looks pretty green to me...but I'm 100%with you on the infant not being the JP/// Rex ;)

And those missing scenes! Never realized how much I like the "young" colours/bright colours on this Rex!

  

As for the Clones...I love these guys...especially the guy in the middle...you know...Colt...badass! Credit to Havoc and Blitz aswell :D

I always thought that the runway was used by the Spino as a marking for the end of his territory, and ventured to the other side to pursue the humans, landing up in the Rexes territory.

Remember that chap, I forget his name, he climbed Everest without any oxygen, came down nearly dead. They asked him, they said, "Why did you go up there to die?" He said, "I didn't, I went up there to live."

I doubt that the film makers actually thought about that so don't beat yourself up over it but this is a good point, I'll just say that the Spino was depicted as a Dino-Killing Badass, the Baddest Super Predator of them all, so if it was in T-Rex territory it wouldn't matter cause it could take it on and it fits the dinos personality in the film so it just didn't care, theres probably a better explanation here somewhere but this is what i'm guessing.

One of this movies many flaws. Multiple raptor nests in a wet area and un covered. There should have been one nest belonging to the prime or alpha female and it would have been covered in leaf litter and soil for incubation. Two prime predators would never have been so close to each other. The TRex was feasting on a huge carcas and would have had no need to chase tiny humans. And of course we now know that as a fish eater the incredibly over sized Spino probably wouldn't have been in the middle of the forest at all. Don't start me on the voice box 3d printed vocalisation scene......

Yeah, both of you make more good points.

with the new Spinosaurus, the JP3 Spino shouldn't have even fought with the T. rex.  It should've been spending time  near a river while the rex hunted on land.  Carnivores only fight for food, territory, or a mate if they're the same species.  Spinosaurus and T. rex have different habitats and food sources, so, realistically they wouldn't fight

 I think the rex is wandering into an unknown territory and then its the spinos so when spino sees rex its like" crap an intruder i gotta get him out" So i think its like with lions but i dunno its only a guess
