SPINOSAURUS COULD SWIM AND RUN. T REX HOWEVER
COULD NOT RUN. ON RAPTORS FOR INSTENCE ONE BONE WAS SMALLER THAN THE
OTHER. T REX THOUGH THE SMALLER BONE (AND WE ALL KNOW RAPTORS CAN RUN ) ON
THE RAPTOR WAS BIGGER THAN THE OTHER ON T REX. SO T REX THERE FOR WAS A
SCAVENGER. AND SPINOSAURUS COULD MOVE IT'S ARMS.IT HAD TO MOVE ITS ARMS TO
CATCH FISH. SPINOSAURUS AND T REX WOULD NEVER FIGHT. T REX WAS FOUND IN
MONTANA AND THE OTHER ONES. YOU KNOW WESTERN STATES AND SPINOSAURUS WAS
FOUND IN EGYPT. SCEINTESTS DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE LARGEST CARNIVORE IS . T
REX SPINOSAURUS CARCHARDONTOSAURUS AND GIGANOTOSAURUS ARE THE LARGEST.
SPINOSAURUS HAD THE SMALLEST HEAD AND T REX HAD THE LARGEST BRAIN

I've made a some dinosaur:
Gigantochyus-"Giant Claw"
This 40(in maximum) ft long theropod had a 3m long claw on each hand.These
claws were used for killing its' victims and knocking down trees that got
in its' way.It lived during the late cretatious period in New York,New
Mexico and South Dakota.It hunted hadrosaurs,sauropods,raptors, and
occationally Juvinille T-Rexs!

Also, Apart from the Lepidotes fish found in Baryonyx' ribcage, I read
that partly dissolved bones of a young iguanodon have been found in the
baryonyx, which is actually thought to be not fully grown. What do you
guys think?
Concerning "raptors," I think they where designed to kill ANY prey that
can't inflict seriuos damage in defense, because they have devastating
(not as devastating as T rex' teeth, but still...) weaponry, but they
can't take much damage themselves.

Someone asked Gigantosaurus' size. It reached
45ft (13.7m) in length, and was like 3.7m tall at the hip. My shoulder
height estimate is 5m.
New dino!
Echinosaurus = Prickly lizard!
It had a long snout, tiny mouth, hundreds of the tiniest teeth and short
back legs and long front ones with long claws. It ate ants. It was up to
3m long, 90cm tall, and was slow. It had a short tail. It was covered with
20cm poisonous spines for protection. It ripped open ant hills and termite
mounds and ate the occupants. It carried it's babies on it's back (the
babies don't get hurt because the mother keeps her spines flat in that
area. She has many strong back muscles to control the spines in different
areas.) The babies are born live, and they only have one at a time.

Another dinosaur I made up:
Nasinothus
Other info:
Lived: Cretaceous before T.Rex
Size: Top size: As tall as T.Rex's stomach
Deadly: Yes. Sharp curved teeth. It's hard to believe this dinosaur is a
descendant of Compsognathus.
Speed: Ostrich like, VERy fast
Prey: Mostly everything(except plants of course)
Color: Usually shocking red with black stripes. White nails.
Personality: Fierce if bothered. Males are fiercer than females(on account
of testosterone).
Nasinothus has longer arms than t.Rex. It has strong legs that allows it
to run fast. Mates for life. Nasinothus kicks, bites, scratches. Scariest
predator in the mid Cretaceous.

Now it's my turn:
Thespesiodon Canadensis
Name means "Canadian Awful tooth"
Saurichia-Theropoda-Allosauridae
10 meters(about 33 ft. long)
Lived during the late Jurassic.
Based originally on a single, 6 inch, serrated tooth, then later, a single
95% complete skeleton was found. This dinosaur was very similar to
Allosaurus, but it had more prominent hornlets over it's eyes, which
resembled those of Carnotaurus sastrei.
name means: "Cope's(named in honor of)new titan(Giant greek gods)"
Saurischia-Sauropoda-Brachiosauridae
About 55 meters (180 ft.) long, 25-35 ft. tall at the hip, head was 70 ft.
above the ground.
Lived during early Creataceous in Texas and New Mexico.
The largest dinosaur ever, Neotitan, is based on 7 neck vertebrae, of
which the largest were 5 ft. long(a foot longer than those of
Sauroposeidon), most of the Spine, a partial skull, and a few leg bones.
The exact size is unknown.

A slender theropod with THE longest legs, highly disproportionate to body
size (9m long, 1/2 tail, 2.8m tall). Has a coloutfull feather crest on top
of it's head, and very long, strong arms with 52 inch claws. Jaws stronger
than spino's but weaker than daspletosaur's.

Deinosuchus would lag far behing T-Rex, but
not because of the fact that its jaws were built like the Amazonian fish
eaters. It's simply because T-Rex had a better jaw design than all Crocs.
As you said, John, the super crocs were more like a cross beetween the
Gavials and Caimans, and the larger, more powerful crocs. So, it's really
irrelevant how Deinosuchus' jaws were designed amongst Crocodiles, because
the fact is, T-Rex would be ahead by far anyway.

When you hear about paleontologists saying
that a human beign could outrun Tyrannosaurus, beware of what they are
stating. Because the maximum speed range calculated for Tyrannosaurus
ranges from 45-55 kph, the human olympic sprinter can do about 43-45kph.
So it is possible that a human could outrun a Tyrannosaurus, or even a
slightly slow lion for that matter, which can sprint at up to 45-50kph.
However, this applies to only olympic sprinters, who run very very much
faster then your typical human adult. These people have literally trained
and built their body to max out in a 100 meter race. The typical human
(that's you and me, unless you are an olympic sprinter) runs at most up to
26kph, so try harder if you want to beat the world record. So the next
time a paleontologist says that a human being could outrun Spinosaurus or
Tyrannosaurus, take it with a pinch of salt. He's probably refering to the
0.001 percent of the world's population that do olympic sprinting.
However, we have good reason to believe that the human sprinter would
still be eaten in the end, for Tyrannosaurus would have been able to go at
speed for distance, much like a wolf, given recent studies into
Tyrannosaurus leg design and lung capacity suggesting it was built for a
long chase. A human sprinter would prehaps gain a slight headstart for the
first 100 meters (or more likely, none at all), and then Tyrannosaurus
would quickly close the tinsy distance between him and our poor guy as he
starts to tire out.

"I don't know that Deinosuchus' jaws were
built like modern day Caimans and Gavials, which are the long jawed
fish-eating crocs. To me Deinosuchus resembles more the Nile Crocodile and
the American Alligator, which have shorter, more powerful jaws, designed
to kill larger terrestrial animals. For example, the Nile Crocodile can
and will kill anything that comes close enough.(With the exception of the
Hippo, which is very strong and agressive, and most other Pachyderms)
Actually the jaws of extinct super crocs like Deinosuchus and Sarcosuchus
imperator (which is larger then Deinosuchus by a good margin) resemble a
cross between that of the very dangerous modern large prey hunters like
Crocodylus porosus and that of mainly fish and small prey hunters like
Gavialis gangeticus or Crocodylus johnstoni. The reason could be double,
fish back then were much larger that what we're commonly used to, so it's
not unreasonable to assume that they would have adaptations for hunting
large 3-meter fish. They would have been fully capable of hunting the
ocassional dinosaur that came along though.
Either way, T-Rex has Deinosuchus beat by a good margin when it comes to
jaw power."

"Maybe jaw power isn't everything. Deinosuchus
had such massive teeth and jaws that it could kill an alligator even if
the alligator has stronger jaws. ALSO, I think the alligator has stronger
jaws in PROPORTION to body size, and deinosuchus is much larger!"
Duhz...Deinosuchus was like FIVE times the size of your modern gator? What
are you trying to prove? That you're dumband it wasn't obvious to anyone
before? I'be very surprised if the gator could beat it... Duhzzz...you see
why Tyrannosaurus was so good was not simply because of his jaw power, but
it was also because of his teeth and very large mouth. His large, bone
crushing teeth and large berth of mouth, along with his powerful bite,
allowed him to rend bone and muscle and remove a great deal of material
(up to 150 kilograms) in a single bite. What we're concerned about is
really how much damage Tyrannosaurus could do in a single bite, which is
certainly much more then any other dinosaur that ever lived...by a large
margin! Tyrannosaurus didn't rely soley on jaw power, he had the best
dental weapons ever degigned also and that gave his the deadilest
land-based predatory weapon of all the dinosaurs ever, simple as
that.

Actually mike spinosaurus was about 45 feet long. I think thats why they made it longer than it should go, one spino
was even found about 48 feet long. anyway the battle would have gone on
longer if they ever fought, but the movie had to get on they didn't want
to show them fighting forever and waisting movie time (even though it
would of been cool). I think they just had spino win to show that it was a
deadly dinosaur and to put more intensity in the movie, now that the
audience thinks that spino is tougher than rex.

Maybe jaw power isn't everything. Deinosuchus
had such massive teeth and jaws that it could kill an alligator even if
the alligator has stronger jaws. ALSO, I think the alligator has stronger
jaws in PROPORTION to body size, and deinosuchus is much
larger!

Speaking of made up dinosaurs, there have been
a few in DinoWarz, and a few more to come in the upcoming season
three...I'm not entitled to show you how they look like, but here's an
incomplete list.
>From Season 1:
Spinosaurus Genetus Maximus
Comments: A genetically argumented Spinosaurus that engaged Sue in a near
disasterous battle in the last eposide of the first season (yes, a time
when Dino Warz was still simple and didn't have a storyline save for the
fights!) Coming in at almost a massive 70 feet long, Spinosaurus Maximus
was finally defeated when steroid related limb injuries crippled him,
giving Sue the advantage she needed to defeat him in a skull crushing
pounce.
>From Season 2:
Ultraraptor Eolunensis
Comments: A gigantic raptor created from modified Utahraptor and
Velociraptor stock DNA, the Ultraraptor was specifically designed negate
the size advantage that Tyrannosaurus had. A group of 3 Ultraraptors took
on Sue in DinoWarz 6, at some times almost winning the upper hand.
Ultimately, the light built and inability to take damage of the raptor
design was carried on in the Ultraraptor and two of them were dispached by
Sue after a few ambushes. The final Ultraraptor was taken out by an M-72
LAW from Tinker, making the man-made species extinct- for now.
Suchomimus Tenerensis Prime
Comments: A 1 to 1 scale of a full grown adult Suchomimus, Suchomimus
Tenerensis Prime is actually a heavily-armed man-made robotic dinosaur
that attacked the Tyrannosaur team in DinoWarz 8. After sustaining serious
damage from the siblings, Suchomimus tried to self destruct but was
shorted out when a stray rocket from John Rambo activated the water
sprinklers in the arena, dispensing water on the robot who had it's water
intergity compromised from the extensive damage it had taken.
Season 3 will introduce even more genetically altered or created new
species of dinosaurus. Watch out for them.
Length: 68 feet
Mass: 10.8 tons

I don't know that Deinosuchus' jaws were built
like modern day Caimans and Gavials, which are the long jawed fish-eating
crocs. To me Deinosuchus resembles more the Nile Crocodile and the
American Alligator, which have shorter, more powerful jaws, designed to
kill larger terrestrial animals. For example, the Nile Crocodile can and
will kill anything that comes close enough.(With the exception of the
Hippo, which is very strong and agressive, and most other Pachyderms)
Either way, T-Rex has Deinosuchus beat by a good margin when it comes to
jaw power.

"has anyone heard about the lattest updates of the new found rexes? i wonder how enormouse would their skull be like and what happened if they exceed the skull length of giganotosaurus? thank you!"
If you are referring to Rigby's rex and "C-Rex," then I think I can help
you. Rigby's rex might actually be two animals, as some bones are large
and some aren't. At first, they believed it two perhaps be a new oddly
proportioned tyrannosaur, but it is more likely to be two rexes, one
gigantic, one average. The giant is incomplete, and I believe is
scheduled to be on display 2005? Not quite sure, as I can no longer find
the article on it online. As for "C-Rex," which I know less detail about,
Horner is in charge of the excavation and thus far only a few of the bones
have been unearthed. I think it is likewise incomplete. Rigby's rex was
15% larger than Giganatosaurus at lower end projections, and C-Rex is 10%
larger than Sue, which would make it approx. 5-7% larger than
Giganatosaurus.

"Anyway, Alligators haven't got the second
strongest jaws in the animal kingdom. If you insist it's a croc, then
maybe the 14m long deinosuchus."
Crocs do bite hard, but nowhere near as hard as the Alligators, who had
specialized equipment in their jaws to bite hard (stouter snout, deeper
teeth) Deinosuchus would have bitten pretty hard, but oddly, the jaw
designs of all the super crocs back then resemble those of the very long
jawed fish hunters we have today rather then those crocs we know who take
on large prey, so I'd expect it to lag quite far behind Tyrannosaurus.
Tyrannosaurus was far ahead in terms of biting power. Da Masta, you seem
to dunno anything about Alligators (of the science of bite force for that
matter), so please refrain from shooting your mouth for it's very annoying

What is the point to this statement? That the magazine should have listed

I'm not sure why the end of the Jurassic was changed. There were no major extinctions at the end of the Jurassic, so
maybe paleontologists had a hard time deciding when to end the Jurassic.
Judging from the end of other periods, the end of the Jurassic was due to
some change. A possible theory might be "at the end of the Jurassic, there
was the loss of many Stegosaurian and Sauropod forms. The Sauropods later
recovered in different forms etc."

I disagree. Refer to the September 1999 issue of Scientific American
magazine, and you'll see a graph at the top of page 49, in which it shows
various animal biting strengths. The Alligator is right behind T.rex's,
making it the second most powerful bite in the animal kingdom.
Note: the Tyrannosaur's bite strength was measured from FEEDING bites,
which are a deal less than full strength. CONSERVATIVE figures place
feeding strength at 13,000 newtons (about 3,000 lbs), imagine what full
strength would be!

Here are some dinosaurs I made up. There not exiciting or anything but I just wanted to make up some that lived in New Zealand because toe bones of a theropod kinda like this have been found.
Brevisloricatusaurus (Catusaurus for short)
Bravisloricatusaurus was a small anklyosaur that didn't have a club. It
had scutes covering its back and a few spikes. It was preyed on by
Occultusaurus and a larger Allosaur (the allosaur was a relative of the
allosaur in Austrailia but smaller. Brevisloricatusaurus was quite
succsesful.
Occultusaurus
Occultusaurus was a succsesful theropod well evolved to live in the dense
forest of New Zealand. It was very agile. It is an Allosaur. Its prey were
Brevisloricatusaurus, Hypsilophdontids and sometimes Tuatara (I call them
Tuatara because the ones that lived in dinosaur times were about the same
as modern Tuatara). it was more succsesful than the bigger allosaur that
lived in New Zealand because it was more well adapted to living in dense
forest.
Meaning:"Small armoured lizard"
When it lived: Early Cretaceous
Where it lived: New Zealand (its realitive Minmi lived in Australia)
Size: About 2.5 to 3m long
Meaning: Hidden lizard
When it lived: Early Cretaceous
Where it lived: New Zealand
Size: About 4m long

I wonder who said this...why do they always put "It'll be a close one"
just to sound civil. Come on, wake up and see, T.Rex simply outclasses
Cardy by a great margin. The only time Cardy wins is when he's lucky,
either then that, it's rex the whole way. It's really like saying rat vs.
cat, it'll be a close one, the cat would win sometime, the rat would win
the others. Go wake up and see the friggin technology and weapons gap
between T.Rex and cardy, T.Rex would win 4 out of 5 times, or even more!

"But not by as much two times. "
You're right, Tyrannosaurus was about fifteen times stronger.
"The number two powerfull jaw predator is only a little behind in my
opinion."
Harh, you are wrong, you have opinion, I have facts. The number two
strongest jawed animal that does hunt prey that lives on land behind
Tyrannosaurus is the american alligator today. And it lead any competition
by a good lead at 3,000 newtons of bite force in an attack bite. However,
Tyrannosaurus rex reached MORE then this force with minimal effort while
it was feeding normally. In an attack bite, Tyrannosaurus could easily,
given his immense jaw muscles bite up to five to six times harder, that's
about 15,000-18,000 newtons of bite force. No other predator even comes
anywhere close. Notice the word "undisputed" in the title "undisputed
champion of bite force" paleontologists assign to it. Allosaurids on the
other hand, had their bite force calculated at a pathetic maximum of 1,000
newtons, 15 times less then Tyrannosaurus' maximum. It's time to accept
the facts Da Masta, the Tyrannosaurids were VERY much stronger jawed then any other dino or land predator for that matter that ever lived.
"But stop trying to make it sound that it is obvious that he is
coelurosaurian."
Duhz....it was pretty OBVIOUS he was coelurosaurian. When Tyrannosaurus
fossils started to be better understood, they ALREADY knew there was
something very different between Tyrannosaurus and your generic carnosaur,
they just didn't bother to find out what until recently. It was already
obvious.
"Allosaurus was a successfull design. They flourished almost all of the
Jurassic."
Not really, they didn't really come out until the late jurassic, and then
again, they were being swamped by other dinosaurian predators too. And
they later got their butts kicked out pretty quick when the Tyrannosaurids
rose and started replacing them and just about any other predatory
species.
"What is Nanotyrannus's advantage in the Nanotyrannus vs. Utahraptor
match? I'd bet on the guy with the eleven-inch claws."
Nanotyrannus is a juvinile of some Tyrannosaurid, having a juvinile
structure. I'm not sure why some insist it MUST be Tyrannosaurus, but it
was the juvinile of some Tyrannosaurid species. So an adult
Nanotyrannus/Tyrannosaurus/Albertosaurus/insert probable Tyrannosaurid
adult species form here, would have a good size advantage (or in some
cases, even make the fight completely one sided). Though Nano could always bite Utahraptor to death quite easily. Tyrannosaurid designs are
considerably stronger and tougher pound for pound then raptor designs too.
If all else fails, Nanotyrannus would be more then fleet footed enough,
thanks to his Tyrannosaurid limbstry, to escape Utahraptor easily. It's
win win! Utahraptor could do some damage with a kick or a swipe, but I
doubt he could implement it well against Nano (we're assuming the small
nano based on the skull here), given Nano's considerable advantage in
speed. On the other hand, if Nano bit Utahraptor, we could have quite
nasty results. Raptor designs seem to be full of bells and tinkles to me, but I'm really comtemplative about the idea if that really makes them deadily.
Sometimes, simple brute force, strenght, speed and a nasty bite is all you
need to make a very nasty close-quarter animal. The raptors always seemed
kinda underpowered and fragile to me, even Utahraptor.
"Allosaurids were never the dominant predator? Then what was the dominant
predator in the American Late Jurassic? Ceratosaurus? Torvosaurids?"
Yeah, I doubt the Allosaurids ever became dominant the way the
Tyrannosaurids did. They did face pretty stiff competition from the
Ceratosaurs and the Torvosaurids. If they ever were dominant, it wasn't
anywhere as close to what the Tyrannosaurids achieved, which was kinda a
genera monopoly on the killing trade. (Unless you want to listen the
Horner's theory that the Tyrannosaurids were nothing but garbage trucks
cleaning up after small, 2 meter raptors as they cleaned off 9-ton
triceratops and hardosaurs!)
"Carharodontosaurus vs Giganotosaurus"
Carharodontosaurus, Giganotosaurus was pretty all bark, little bite. Both
are Allosaurids but Carharodontosaurus seems to be tougher to me. Not
against Tyrannosaurus though, as almost everything would be a foregone
conclusion. But since not every foe Carharodontosaurus faces will be of
such amazing quality, he could have an edge over
Giganotosaurus.

Chandler - NO offence how can you be sure that
the skeleton found was a male? Maybe the skeleton found was a female and
males had even bigger crests.

Allosaurus packs could probably hunt
anything.

Natasha C - Tim is the real expert but I think
I can help. Large sauropods are thought to get on to their hind legs and
support themselves with their heavy tails to get at high foliage.
Brachiosaurids probably did not need to though, their necks where so long.
But blood vessel guards, bony rods coming out of the tail vertabra at the
bottom to prevent blood vessels being damaged when the tail touched the
ground have been found on sauropod tail vertabra, leading paleontologists
to think that sauropods did sometimes get on their hind legs to get at
high foliage using their tails for support.

Brad - TELL ME ABOUT THE JURASSIC ENDING
LATER! NOW!
Also, nanotyrannus was more powerfull and robust and had a more powerfull
jaw than utahraptor. As I said, If utahraptor SUDDENLY pounced on
nanotyrannus, then it would win.

OK people. I'll try to explain. Lions. Lions
are costantly at war with hyeanas. Hyeanas. With JAWS more powerfull than
lions, bone - crunching jaws, and in BIG clans. But lions are still a
successfull predator. They still "rule" the African plains. Like allosaurs
and torvosaurs. Lions and hyenas. Also, there are cheetahs and leopards.
But they hunt different prey or the same prey in different habitats to
lions, even though they live in the same countries. So they don't compete
with lions or hyenas. So maybe allosaurs did not compete with the very
different ceratosaurs. They where ALL successfull. But one family was not
significantly better than the others, like say tyrannosaurids are way
better than the predators that lived at the same time as they did, so one
family did not compete better than the other families and therefore wipe
them out.

T rex vs Carcharodontosaurus. Very close one.
Sometimes T rex would win, sometimes Carcha. But I keep stressing this
point: An animals main goal in life is to mate and pass on it's genes.
Killing another dinosaur and walking away EVEN SLIGHTLY INJURED would
badly ruin your chances of mating with a female. Wounds go
SEPTIC.
