JP3 Spinosaurus Hypothesis

I (like the rest of you) am stoked about the JW updates, but something has been wracking my brain for a while, and I figured for my latest post (in a long time compared to many of you), I'd bring this up.

The lack of a confirmation on the JP3 Spinosaurus' sex has lead to it being listed as a male on some sites, and as a female on a few others.  Other sources just don't list it at all, because it has never been confirmed by anyone.

I believe I have the answer.  It was a female.

"Why do you think that?" the masses ask.

Well, she had to have hatched sometime before TLW.  InGen abandoned their facilities on Isla Sorna after the Nublar Incident, allowing the young dinosaurs on that island to grow up into adults and start breeding on their own.  Up until abandoning Sorna and Nublar, they were still using frog DNA from the same breed of frog to fill in the dinosaurs' genetic gaps.  And all dinosaurs that were hatched in the labs were born as females, because InGen wanted to control the population and prevent breeding.  That Spinosaurus was hatched in a lab before she was shipped off to Sorna to grow up a bit.

According to this site, sex change in animals only occurs if the ratio of males and females isn't in equilibrium any more.  Since the dinosaurs that were hatched in InGen's labs and stayed on Isla Sorna had that frog DNA in them, some were bound to change from female to male.  That explains why there's a breeding pair of T.rex and several packs of raptors consisting of males and females, among other species.  But with only one Spinosaurus, there couldn't have been an equilibrium to stray from, SINCE THERE WAS ONLY ONE!!  There would have been no need or desire for that ONE Spinosaurus to become male when there's no "potential" breeding partner.  

Therefore, she remained female for all of her time on Isla Sorna.

SHE destroyed the plane.  SHE killed that young male T.rex.  SHE smashed through the fence and failed to break through the wooden door of the building.  And SHE attacked the boat.

And she was (is) a beautiful creature.

The Tyrannosaurus Buck was definitely just as aggressive, possibly as much as Rexy. It challenged the Bus, Police cars, and attacked a house. I chased and attacked any large item in its path. However, I believe Rexy MAY have been male, but that is beside the point. I believ that in JP, bothe genders are equally aggressive.

I always wondered that, any of the JP dinosaurs could maybe be males, The Big One or Rexy etc. unlikely but possible.

^ Well, that's a good point JPCerato, but like Alphadino65 stated in his/her post that actually caught our attention in order to bring us to this thread, if there is no potential mate that lived with Rexy, there would be no need to change sexes. This actually brings me to my next point...

Alphadino65, what evidence supports that the Spinosaurus we saw in JP/// was the ONLY individual that existed on the island? We only saw three Tyranosaurs in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, but there is no way that with how much the herbivores have reproduced that the carnivores, especially with so much prey available, couldn't and/or wouldn't do the same.

"Don't worry JPCerato, Spinosaurus became my new favourite when I first saw JP3.  T.rex was and will always be my default favourite, but to a 7 year old dino fan, any theropod that can take down a T.rex is a big deal :P"

*Facepalm*

With the new skeleton, I'm not sure how capable Spinosaurus was anymore. Not to mention, the Spinosaurus was GOING to be the new therapod for the movie anyway. No matter how strong/weak, fast/slow, or large/small the Spinosaurus was, it was going to kill dear old Timmy the Tyrannosaur no matter what. Any therapod could've taken it's place, like the originaly planned Baryonyx, and the same thing would've happened, so we're left to ask ourselves, outside of this partly fictional universe, who REALLY would've won? This is, of course, a debate for another day, but it's just something to think about. Food for thought, if you will.
