Tyrant king
MemberCompsognathusJanuary 05, 20155809 Views82 RepliesOk, so as the title says this is just a threadctobposy dinosaur myths or inaccuices. I wil start.
microraptor was not black colored.
allosauris was the ancestor to t.rex.
megalosaurids are frail.
no other theropod even came close to t.rex in terms of biteforce and bulk.
ok now you guys start.
Anything that was prehistoric = dinosaur
Anything that was not a dino, was usless and died
I don't want to start another boring 20 pages + long debate about Spinosaurus weight, but I've good reasons to believe that Tyrannosaurus is just as heavy or heavier.
TK, I'm sorry, but you have no true studies to prove that Tyrannosaurus was matched in bite. 9-15 tons is higher than every other land animal, ever. Bulk, on the other hand is a risky game. There are other contenders.

Many Theropods didn't need a strong bite.
15 t sounds too much for a T.rex. Something closer to 6 tonnes sounds much more likely.

^ that's cause 15 tons is too big for tyrannosaurus
Nature doesn't deceive us; it is we who deceive ourselves.
more like ~6.3 tons, sue was the largest confirmed, weighted specimen at 8.4 tons.

Pretty sure PK was talking bite when he said 15 tons, not weight.
Jack of all trades. Master of none
i don't see where he gets that figure from...

Geez, guys.
@Gigadino, I agree. It was a different hunting method. I didn't say that other theropods needed it. I just said no known dinosaurs matched it yet.
@Carnosaur. I said that as a maximum. It is a mximum. 6.3 tons seems a bit low based on harvard's studies.
@ TK, Ok. Just wanted to make sure you weren't stating a fact, but your opinion.
