Deadliest Dinos: Spinosaurus vs. T. rex

  • Thread starter kant
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses the debate between spinosaurs and T. rex as the ultimate predator, with one participant questioning if a large African elephant could take on either of them. The conversation also includes various images of T. rex and a question about how paleontologists determine if a certain carnivore was a hunter or a scavenger. One participant jokes that perhaps they determine it by looking up their "****" or by pulling information out of their "arses."

I wonder if a large African elephant could take on any of those beasts?

Doesn't it depend if you're dead or not? I seem to remember one of them was more of a scavenger than the other. According to current belief of course. How would a paleontologist find if a certain carnivore were a hunter or a scavenger?

What is the Spinosaurus?

The Spinosaurus is a large carnivorous dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous period, approximately 112 to 97 million years ago. It was one of the largest known carnivorous dinosaurs, measuring up to 59 feet in length and weighing up to 20 tons.

What is the T. rex?

The T. rex, or Tyrannosaurus rex, is a large carnivorous dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period, approximately 68 to 66 million years ago. It is known for its large size, powerful jaws, and sharp teeth, making it one of the most well-known and feared dinosaurs.

Which dinosaur is deadlier?

It is difficult to determine which dinosaur is deadlier, as it depends on various factors such as size, strength, and hunting abilities. Both the Spinosaurus and T. rex were apex predators in their respective time periods and were capable of taking down large prey. However, some studies suggest that the Spinosaurus may have had a more powerful bite force than the T. rex.

Did the Spinosaurus and T. rex ever coexist?

Yes, it is believed that the Spinosaurus and T. rex lived in the same time period, although they inhabited different regions. The Spinosaurus lived in Africa, while the T. rex lived in North America. However, there is no evidence to suggest that they ever had any interactions or battles with each other.

Who would win in a battle between Spinosaurus and T. rex?

It is impossible to say for sure who would win in a battle between the Spinosaurus and T. rex as it depends on many factors. Both dinosaurs were powerful predators and had unique strengths and weaknesses. It is possible that in some scenarios, the Spinosaurus may have had the advantage due to its larger size and potentially stronger bite force, but in other scenarios, the T. rex may have been the victor due to its agility and hunting abilities. Ultimately, it is a hypothetical scenario and we may never know the true outcome.
