MemberAllosaurusJune 17, 2015Before I begin, I just wanted to announce my next episode of The Day in the Life of a Dinosaur is coming soon, and I hope this one captures more of the imagination, majectiness, and fierceness of these creatures. This time the protaginist will be a female!
Now onto the first section of my new debate series, I will begin with an intro, and depending on the success of this series I will make it an official series!

INTRO:
As we know from the Jurassic Park movies and the books, really nothing is really natural of the dinosaurs we see in the movies.
In the movies the dinosaurs are mostly shown as monsters.
As explained in the movies and more so in the book, much of the genetic gaps was filled with frog DNA, and hardly any bird DNA, making the dinosaurs less natural with each differing DNA strand used, creating NOT dinosaurs, just man-made amusement park organism that are simply put:
Dinosaur-like.
This explains why the animals are not accurate to what they are thought to have looked liek today, such as the Velociraptors being bigger, non-feathered, pack hunters (Almost NO evidence of them being pack hunters), scaly skin, etc.
So, in the end, I wonder, what would it be like if the man-made monsters from the movies were to meet up with the real ordeal, the creatures that took millions of years to evolve, the creatures that are not man-made?
Which ones would be stronger? Faster? Better? Bigger?
Which one would be able to conquer each other?
That is the point of this new debate series. SO I say we start with something simple but interesting!
I now introduce you to episode 1!!!

Today’s animal IS...
Dilophosaurus
JP MONSTER:
INFO:
Length: Est. 1 metre
Food: Carnivorous predator, possibly part time scavenger
Hunting Skills: Hunts alone, mainly using poison to squirt at its prey, paralyzing them, and eventually proceeding to eat them, usually alive
-Has a frill to scare its prey and intimidate them
-Is smaller than the real Dilophosaurus, however this could be a juvenile or an adult, not known or stated among the JP universe (That I know of)
NATURE’S CREATION:
INFO:
Length: 6 metres
Food: One of the early carnivorous dinosaurs, possibly scavenged for the most part
Hunting Skills: It could have been piscivorous or mainly a scavenger of carrion due to its weak jaw- Simply put, its jaws were too weak to take down prey (according to my research)
-It is possible that Dilophosaurus was feathered, according to some fossilized imprints suggesting it could have been feathered
-Most likely an early descendant of some of the theropod dinosaurs
-Some research suggests it had steady, light, and strong feet, meaning that this animal would literally have a steady chance if it were to fight with the “JP Monster” of itself

DEBATE TOPIC:
If the Dilophosaurus from the Jurassic Park world were to somehow come in a situation where it felt the need to fight with the Nature “version” of Dilophosaurus, who would win?
I hope this will be an entertaining and interesting debate, the longer and more well informed a reply, the better it is for a debate. Please make sure to give reasons of why you think who would win and try to give scientific and well-thought out explanations.
Whatever your answer is, I hope it will be interesting. This is ebing done since I haven’t seen anything like this done before, so let’s have fun!
Who would win!? Man’s artificial monster recreation of an attempt to create a dinosaur, or the animals that lived millions of years ago that Nature created?
Let the debate begin!!!
Any criticisms/compliments wil be appreciated!
With gratitude, thanks for reading, you guys are awesome,

IT'S TIME TO DU-DU-DU-DU-DUEL!!!
The Jp dilo in the Tall Tale games had them working together but they were still small (or young probably? In jurassic world we got to see what looked like maybe an adult size of it? But it's still dwarfed by the real Dilo.
So I'm just going to say the real Dilo. Can't really imagine a small lightweight theropod putting up a fight against something near 6 to 7 ft tall alone. The jp dilo's only chance is a direct hit.

In a pack though Jp Dilo could win.

Haha typos are alright Raptor401, I'm sure we get what you were saying. And yeah, it really all just depends. Here's some nice ideas:
Jp Spinosaurus vs R. Spinosaurus
Jp Raptors vs. R. Velo or utah or Drom
Jp Troodon (from Tall Tale) vs R. Troodon (alaskan or not)
Have some other fake creatures against real. Nothing too exaggerating though.
And has the forum always been quiet lately? I haven't checked this website for the past few months because possible leaked spoilers. xD But I'm back, ready to learn and see what ya'll have each day.

No no no, I didn't read it that way at all. If anything, I find it great that you're self-concerned and respectful. Plus, you are a moderator. It's your job to be professional, it's what you got to do. Seriousness accommodates comprehension of indeterminable or fiat disscussion. I'm happy you've said that.

When I mean self concerned, I'm mean self-aware...sorry for the poor diction. /).-
I'm not saying you're selfish. It's good to check what you're doing. :)
