The last EDB,maybe,you guys decide if i continue.EDB stands fro Epic Dinosaur Battles,Part.8 means that this is the eighth battle.

HUGE THANKS TO GMKGOJI FOR THE BANNER!

About Daspletosaurus

Daspletosaurus is a dinosaur which lived about 75-77 million years ago during the late Cretaceous Period. This dinosaur was first discovered in 1921 by Charles Mortram Sternberg around Steveville, Alberta. When he first discovered it, he thought it was just another species of Gorgosaurus. An idea that would remain for the next 49 years—until 1970—when Dale Russell described it in complete detail and came to the conclusion that it was an entirely different type of dinosaur. It was then named Daspletosaurus—a name which means “frightful lizard.”

And a frightful lizard is what this dinosaur must have looked like when it was alive. This dinosaur was about 30 feet long, 9 feet tall at the hips and probably weighed around 3 tons. It had a fairly massive skull that was about 3 feet long and contained about 5 to 6 dozen teeth. It had the largest teeth of any predator—including those of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The dinosaur it is believed this dinosaur devolved into. The size and ferocity of Daspletosaurus would have most likely made it the apex predator of its time.

Since this dinosaur was a bipedal carnivore, it probably feasted off a variety of different dinosaur species. One dinosaur that it is known to have eaten is the Hadrosaur, but these dinosaurs probably ate a variety of different herbivores including Diceratops and Eoceratops.

An interesting fact about Daspletosaurus is that it might not have just been the hunter but also may have been the hunted. There is some evidence found in the fossil record of these dinosaurs being bitten by other dinosaurs. Which wouldn’t be too surprising because a lot of tyrannosaurs live around the same time as this dinosaur. Some of these included the Dryptosaurus, Dromaeosaurus, Gorgosaurus and Dromiceiomimus. These animals may have hunted each other or engaged in combat to defend their respectful territories.

The information about Allosaurus:

• This dinosaur weighed about half as much as an African Elephant
• It stood 16 feet tall; 3 feet taller than the average elephant
• It was 40 feet or longer; this made it as long as 3 Hippos
• Allosaurus means “different lizard”
• It could move at about 20 MPH—the speed of a charging giraffe.

About Allosaurus

Allosaurus is a type of dinosaur called a therapod. This dinosaur lived about 155 million years ago—during the Jurassic Period—and probably lived in parts of the Western United States. It was first discovered in 1869 by Ferdinand Hayden and was later named in 1877 by Othniel Charles Marsh. It was named using the Greek words “allos”, which meant different, and “saurus” which meant lizard. Therefore, it’s name literally means “different lizard”. It was given this name because its skeleton was quite different than any other dinosaur found up until the time of its discovery.

Although most of the specimens of this dinosaur have been found in Colorado and Montana, there have been an increasing number of specimens found elsewhere. These include specimens found in New Mexico, Africa, Australia. Tanzania and parts of Europe.

This dinosaur was a large carnivorous bipedal predator that scientists believe preyed on the many herbivores of the time. This conclusion has been reached in part by the number of razor sharp teeth that can be found in this predator’s mouth. It had rows of razor sharp teeth that had saw-like formations on its edges. It is believed that the Allosaurus was able to attack larger predators with these teeth by using its upper jaw like a hatchet and attacking using the element of surprise.

One interesting fact to note is that the largest Allosaurus specimens may have rivaled the T- Rex in size. The size of the largest Allosaurus is approximately 16 feet tall, 43 feet long and weighed more up to 5 tons. This contrasts pretty well with the T- Rex who was approximately 13-16 feet tall, 42 feet long and weighed approximately 7 tons.

The battle begins!

In the hot desert,there was an Allosaurus which was sleeping,it woke up after he heard a loud noise,then the noise got closer,and more closer,until the Daspletosaurus attacked Allo,he bit Allo's neck,Allo quickly slashes Daspleto's head,and stabs him in the eye,Daspleto bit Allo's leg,making Allo vulnerable and making him fall down,Daspleto bit him in the leg and hands,Allo got back up,and he bashed his head into Daspleto,Daspleto fell down,then Allo tried to snap Daspleto's neck,he didn't snap Daspleto's neck,but he made Daspleto bleed out and die,and then Allo searched for a forest,he did find a forest,and he never returned ever again to the desert,and the dead body of Daspleto became a skeleton.

Winner:Allosaurus

Reason:He was more faster,he had big claws and he was one of the strongest Dinos to ever live
