MemberCompsognathusFeb-08-2015 5:19 PMThis is a discussion about how theropods stack up afain modern carnivores at parity of course.
i will say who will come out on top in terms of groups. The mammals are: ursids, big felines, and big cainines.
i will break down every theropod group.
fisrt up. And remembe, this is at PARITY. For those of you who don't know what that means it is when the two combatnts are the same size.
carcharadontosaurids vs mammal. 65/35 in favor of the Dino. Why? Because the carcharadons have such devaststing jaws that would tear apart the nammal, though it would be a good fight.
abeliosaurids vs mammal. This is tricky cause there are two kinds of them. Carnotaurus and others that scavenged or hunted small prey would loose pretty bad 70/30 in favor of the mammal. Because of there weak jaws and lack of arms. Though the better ones like ekrixinotosaurus and majungatholus/saurus would still loose but would put up a good fight. 60/40 in favor of the mammal.
spinosaurid vs mammal: same as above. spinosaurids that are frail like suchonimus would loose 70/30 to mammals because of there frail bodies and weak jaws. Though better ones like spinosaurus and baryonx would put up one hell of a fight and would win a large minority of the time. 55/45. Because of their some what unimpressive jaws.
dromeosaurids vs mammals: the string arms, powerfu legs and deadly bites, it would prove too much for the mamma.67.5/36.5.
Megalosaurids Vs mammals: the megalosaurida have a bulky build, strong bite, and very powerful arms, that will ensure them victory over the mammalian counterparts. 70/30 Dino.
Tyrranisaurid vs mammal: this is strange, there are three kinds of tyrranosairids. The early ones who had a sleek build with slender but still strong jaws and powerful arms such as kileskus and guanlong, would slightly prevail more often. 65/35 Dino. Others like gorgosaurus and albertosaurus which are somewhat sleek but still have a fairly powerful bite would prevail with the same numbers. 65/35. Though the big ones like t.rex himself would prevail 70/30 over the mammals.
dilophosurids vs mammals: there bites are not overly impressive but there nothing to laugh at. The same can be said for the rest of them. there slenderness would prove a hindrance. 50/50.
troodontids vs mammals: these are like sleeke, weaker versions of dromeosaurids with smaller claws and weaker bites. But they still are a force to be wrecked with. 55/45 in favor of Dino.
Ceolophysids vs mammal: see above. 55/45 in favor of mammal.
therizenosaurid vs mammal: this is tough. their bites would just be annoyances but their claws would price a big problem. I'm not to sure on this one so I will say 50/50.
Pro/compsognathids vs mammal. See dromeosaurid. And troodontid. 50/50.
allosaurids vs mammal: allosaurids have a decent bite, strong arms, and agile build, and hatchet bite. But iit isn't as bulky as the carcharadon. This is a great predator. 65/35. In favor of Dino.
sinraptor/yangchuanosaurus/metricantosaurus: these are allosaurids on steroid. 70/30 Dino.
ok, theropods are the clea winner in this. They just bring to much to the fight but the mammals will go down swinging.

MemberCompsognathusFeb-10-2015 5:18 PMcould theropods even catch themseles in falls? i doubt it. and even if they tried, the humerus would pobably snap under the stresses of their weight.
Nature doesn't deceive us; it is we who deceive ourselves.
