Hi guys….. who would you think is the greatest? And why?

1. Tyrannosaurus rex
2. Giganotosaurus
3. Spinosaurus
4. Carcharodontosaurus

Tyrannosaurus Rex: it has the strongest bite force of them all....NOT something you want to be on the other end of in a fight! :lol:

EDIT: it's also the most intelligent of the 4, according to recent discoveries. it's distantly related to the Velociraptor, and apparently the big brain is a shared trait....

T.rex kills all.

Unknow, they're all dead

good answer!....but....if you had to choose....what would it be?

Posted: **Wed Jan 17, 2007 9:37 am**

T.rex, just because it's a classic

How I hate these things...
Each one was perfect for their own environment.
It's like wanting to put a crocodile against a lion... In the water a lion has no chance, in the savannah the crocodile is doomed.
This is just the same: Put a Tyrannosaurus in the swampy North Africa at the time Spinosaurus and Carcharadontosaurus lived and Tyrannosaurus would be fair game. Put one of those in North America, circa 70million years ago and Tyrannosaurus would shred them to pieces...
Not to mention there is still valid controversy if C. saharicus and G. carolinii aren't part of the same genera.

Even if we obliterate the time, location and sheer power factors, we'd still have exoticness, bulk and size categories...

I'd go with Tyrannosaurus, simply because I love the way its body was built, all else is redundant conversation.
Yes, Tyrannosaurus was smarter and had a better biting force, but that's all we can conclude without much space to doubt. We can also discuss olfatory, auditive and occular capacity, but we have no reference for the other candidates, making it also moot.

lol...still...fun to laugh at the situation....when i first look at the topic title, i say oh no, not again...but when i get in it, i decide i want to try and squash them with what i know on the matter...

T-Rex's prey:
1. Triceratops
2. Hadrosaurs
3. Ankylosaurs
4. Dome heads (I need confirmation on this)

Spino's prey
1. Fish
2. Iguanodon

Giganos prey:
1. Sauropods

Then you're making comparison? One of T-Rex's favorite snacks could beat the crap out of these two! LOL!

Insuficient data to corroborate potential prey, thus rendering this comparison base moot.

your what now?

Posted: **Sun Jan 21, 2007 9:44 pm**

Huh? sorry, care to be more descriptive?

He meant he didn't understand your last sentence

Posted: **Sun Jan 21, 2007 9:55 pm**

Oh, I just meant that his claims about feeding habits can't be confirmed so his method of thinking is useless.

I think I got the jist of it
"Not enough evedince to say what it eats and what it dosent eat

One of T-Rex's favorite snacks could beat the crap out of these two!

T-rex probabley didnt hunt Tric most likely just a hungry desoreate dino attack as Tric would probably gore Rex on its horns

No, everything he said. There isn't enough data on potential prey and actual prey for each of the competitors.

AH gotcha

Posted: **Mon Jan 22, 2007 1:19 pm**

Eh. I agree with Pete. Situtations and such. Spino + water= A dead anything.

But same goes with the others.

Of course I'd choose T-rex because I can.

Well te following is being debated but, some belive that the Triceratops and other ceratopsians didn't realy use their horns, true it would be a formidable defence, but they belive they were used in clashes for teritory against other triceratops. The whole horn thing may even be for show eith the female. Never the less my vote would go to Trex as the king. End of story, In a respectable, fair deathmatch, Trex would win. It has brains bulk, and (debatable) speed.
