"how do u no if rex was smart? how do u know allosauras was stupid? from studying a rex skull, they noticed there was almost no room for a brain. i dont no about ally."

Here you are plain wrong, R-O-N-G, wrong. Studies conducted on Stan the T.rex, which boasts the most complete skull of any other tyrannosaur specimen, indicate that T.rex actually had the largest brain of ANY dinosaur. Twice the size of its more primitive conspecifics (such as Giganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus), and that's excluding the olfactory lobe.

Who said Allosaurus couldn't run? Wait...I remember it was a certain Allosaurus fan posing as me. Really, how odd, you would thing he would have liked to say that Allosaurus could run.

But if you are wondering, Allosaurus did not run like the way we expect modern animals to, in suspension. Allosaurus was incapable of going into suspension in a run, that meant, both feet leaving the ground at once. Rather, when Allosaurus "ran", it was doing more of a fast walk then an actual suspension run, relying on it's large stride rather then propelling itself forward through the air for speed.

Woah, you don't seem to know your dinosaurs at all. Tyrannosaurus was extremely smart, in fact, he was the smartest in his weight class for all the dinosaurus, both brain mass and EQ wise. His brain itself was 2 times the size that of an Allosaurus braincast and that's not counting the smelling lobe, which would have upped it to 3 times more. Tyrannosaurus was incredibly intelligent, even by meat-eating dinosaur standards. Hardly enough space in it's skull for it's brain? Hardly, Tyrannosaurus had a very large and complex brain. Erase any previous concepts of Tyrannosaurus being any sort of dim-witted, it was among the smartest of dinosaurs, having the largest brain by sheer mass of any dinosaur.

I'll bet if they were to apply the same test on allosaur legs, it'd have substantially weaker legs than T.rex. Besides, you can't really compare a mammalian quadrapedal herbivore to a dinosaurian bipedal carnivore; their leg structures and means of locamotion are too different.

"and over 1000 for compsognathus"

Huston...we have a problem. It'll take more then 1000 Compys to kill T.Rex, because they have serious problems. For starters, how are they going to get onto T.Rex? Climb? I don't think Compies (barring TLW) were good at climbing, if Rexer would even allow. Another thing, how are they going to hurt the T.Rex? they cannot penetrate it's skin! Compies have very tiny teeth, having a head the size of a chicken. I can say safely compies, no matter the number, cannot kill a Tyrannosaurus unless the odds were ridiculusly off, like 50,000 to one or something like that. What would 50,000 compies be doing in one spot anyway? The only concentrations of dinos I see like that is at the chicken farm, and I don't think compies are much deadiler then chickens. How can 1000 chicken-like animals take on a Rex?

"Here's why I think Allosaurus (*&^. I had recently read a study that their legs were very weak, and they had difficulty running. If Allosaurus tried running, he'd break his legs. So he lumbered around from place to place eating rotting carcasses."

It's pretty amazing, but this actually came out from Allosaurischian, using Honkie's name. I really have no idea why Allosaurischian said that, he seemed like such a big Allosaurus fan to me, well, I always though he was mad. If you look back in history, you'll realize that a great deal of this forums annoying and mad people are Allosaurus fans, I have no idea why. One famour example was Sean S, who literally betrayed his own country by misusing the WTC attacks, and now we have Allosaurischian, a person just here to insult and annoy, with talking about dinosaurs the last thing on his mind. Why? Because he knows that he'll be defeated when he trys to make Allosaurus what he wants it to be here, and is trying to derail this forum with his childish antics in some tantrum. Come Allosaurischian, show some face and stop this dishonourable and unamerican act of hiding behind other people's identities, and I'll show you things about Stegosaurus Allosauruses take lifetimes to learn.

Let's not kid ourselves here, folks . . . dinosaurs fighting in JP is a SPORT. Every dino that's did what the dinos (Execept T-man) do in JP (tm) has recieved an ArseWhupin'(tm). Allosaurus' got length, he's got fame from recent dinosaur movies, he has the mean look in the movie, he has legons of dumb fans and soon he'll have T-man's foot up his arse.

You want to talk about previous records? In the late cretacious (That's the near the KT boundiary) T.rex was kicking the arses of gigantic ceratopsian(tm) herbivores. If you know anything about the big ceratopsians, you know that they are even more elite at killing carnivores than the sauropods. If Spinosaurus had been there, he would have been wondering why the other dinosaurs watching wasn't stopping the fight when they got in to a clinch. T-man is also so good at stealth he could single-handedly escaped custody of the Vietnam Army which managed to hold off even YOUR country's gargantuan war machine, if he was a P.O.W. He recieved the Congressional Medal of Whupin'Arse(tm). and let's face it, they don't exactly give those things away to just anyone.

T-man's got the mental edge. Using the Mind Powers(tm) bestowed to him by his An Advanced Coelurosaur Brain (tm) his mind will be clear. He'll react instantly to Allosaurus' first snap, block it upward, grabbing the head, twisting it and biting out the jaw joint. As Robert Bakker watches with aproval and begins taking notes, T-man proceeds to pick one of Allosaurus' legs and drive him to the ground. Reaching the mounted position, T-man lets out an insane
"AAAUOUAOAAOAUAOUOAUOAUAOUAOAUOAUAOUAOUAA"(tm)
and proceeds to disfigure poor Allosaurus, whose promoter, Horner, (incapacitated due to T-man's Insane Scream of Utter Rage(tm) which overloads his ears) does nothing. Rigsby Rex, the ref, has to pull T-man off, stopping the fight. Allosaurus goes down in 20 seconds. Pay Per View head office is the victim of a bomb sent from angry viewers the next day.

T-rex would win, no contest. He may not have useful arms but he certainly more then makes up for it with a ultra-powerful jaw. Being a trained killing machine, I'm sure he could think of at least 47 ways to fold, mutilate, spindle or otherwise hurt Allosaurus really bad with a jaw. T-rex wins easily, while Allosaurus kills his manager, Allosaurischian/Sean S., for not scheduing his bout with somebody easier, say a Compsognathus.
from Scared now?, age ?, ?, ?, ?; November 20, 2001

I'm gonna have to go with Tyrannosaurus on this one for one reason...

Teeth

Though they may not have grappeling arms or sickle claws, Tyrannosaurus will still have his unlimited supply of bone crushing teeth in his very powerful jaw. If he loses his teeth, he'll just grow back more, unlike arms, which you can't, and just imagine all the applications a jawful of bone crushing teeth can have.

At the start of the fight, Tyrannosaurus opens his very large jaw, and being taller, bites Allosaurus on the head. Allosaurus's left eye is punctured and his skull fractured in many places as he stumbles around, without even getting in an effective hit of his own (but then again, would it matter? How can an Allosaurus even seriosuly hurt a Tyrannosaurus). He screams as he loses his balance after his leg fails when bone crushing teeth knives through into his femur, breaking it and falls over onto his face, getting bone-splintering bites a few more times in the process all over his body.. Tyrannosaurus just waits in the opposite corner keeping a safe distance from the spraying arterial blood from Allosaurus flailing. A few minutes later Allosaurus dies from blood loss and Tyrannosaurus wins.

I doubt T.Rex will die of wounds inflicted by Allosaurus after a fight. He would kill Allosaurus too fast to sustain any too serious injuries and he was too tough by the way. Stan the T.Rex had his neck BROKEN by another T.Rex, and he didn't even die. The most Allosaurus can get in is a slash or a nip with his weak jaws. One bite from T.Rex would win the day and T.Rex can just stand back as Allosaurus flunders around in his own blood. T.Rex dying from a wound from Allosaurus later?

"I think that the stuff about Allosaurus not being able to run is )(*&. Its like how I've read a quite recent article that says T Rex's legs are weaker than a rhino's legs."

Yeahm you could say that. That's because T.Rex, or other large bipedial dinosaurus (including Allosaurus) for that matter did not gallop like a rhino did. Rather they walked in huge steps without both feet ever leaving the ground. These animals were too large to gallop like a rhino. Instead, they were better adapted for walking fast. Therefore, the strength factor (measured by scientists through FEA and mass calculations) of their limb bones needn't be that huge. Tyrannosaurus has a limb bone strength factor of about 9.5, compaired to a rhino's 13 (A strength factor of 1 is about 16 giganewtons of force). Which is pretty typical for dinosaurus of it's size, if not slightly stronger (most other large bipeds have a strength factor of 8) and quite a deal stronger then our large, modern day non-galloper the elephant, who comes in at 5.9. Allosaurus' limb bone was pretty typical at 7.5. But all weaker then a rhino's, as you can see. They ran in a different way, that's why they all seem to have weaker legs, but it's actually not the case. It's really like looking at a jet plane any saying it cannot work because it dosen't have a propeller.

Oh yes, I so agree Stegosaurus, Stegosaurus is the best!!!!!!! And he could kick Allosaurus' butt across the room! Though I don't like the T.Rex hillybillies either, at least they don't act as other people like Allosaurus fans like Allosaurischian does. That guy discusts me.

Well what can i say about this sad piece of trash Allosaurus other than the fact that all he's good at is acting mean, running away when he get's his butt so often trashed, king of sucking up to dinos of higher status , major breach of dino design copyrights infrencements well lets put it this way ' MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO ' this is a perfect asset for him for it runs in his family . Be warned people , don't be a fan of this dino, for all the good things you hear about him are talked right out from the butt , but of course we all understand the fact any Allosaurus fan has taken one too many punches to the head already so when they start talking out of contacts the best solution out of it is to THROW YOUR MODEM OUT OF THE WINDOW , let me tell you man money can always buy back a new modem being in a coma won't. At the start of the page you all would probably have seen how Allosaurus looks yeah ? spastic looking piece freak of nature right ? take a good look one more time and correct me if i'm wrong , but does his face look like a punching bag to you ? it does doesn't it ! All this bastard does all day is talk big , act big , think big . OH PLEASE STAB ME WILL YA ! its always easy to be brave from safe distance considering the fact that his butt is covered behind his dumb and lame friends. Its always easy to spot Allosaurus down at the musuem, find the loner skeleton by himself while everyone is spread out 10 feet from him to avoid his untterly disfigure pong body. (Pong means ' strong and unpleasant smell ') If you already feel offended by this page then good on you mate , you are one step closer of knowing what the true Allosaurus is. Listen, Stegosaurus is the best, it would have easily kicked Allosaurus lame butt across the room.

"And if Allosaurus arms were stupid T Rex arms were pathetic (no offence to T Rex)"

Hardly, T.rexes' arms were irrevelant to his status as a predator, nor his ability to kill. So any smart-alek remark on them ultimately fails to do anything. On the other hand, Allosaurus' arms are included and very revelant to his status as a predator, so a remark on them would mean something to putting this dinosaur as good or bad. So if Allosaurus arms were stupid, it would mean that Allosaurus' supposed killing ability was seriously crimped while calling Tyrannosaurus arms pathetic hardly raises a few srugged shoulders. He didn't bother to kill with his arms anyway.

So there you have it, I'm taking sides on if Allosaurus' arms were stupid or not but I'm pointing out that your point fails to work logically.

That would be stange, for I have no recollection of posing as you, or even posting that here. The only name I go by in the forum is my own. In the event your sudden rash of "Honkie Tong" messages was in retaliation to some person posing as you, I'm afraid you are barking up the wrong tree. I wouldn't swoop to your level of character assassination. Posing as other people to discredit them is ultimately, a cowardly act that shows the person who perpetrated it is too cowardly to claim responsiblity for his opinions. I wouldn't advise you to contuine posing as me and defaming me though, for this could promt certain countermeasures legal and policywise that would be rather unpleasant for you, and for me to implement. So just as a note of caution, you shouldn't just go about recklessly acting as others to discredit them for it could lead to some serious action being taken against you. I'm giving you a change here by letting you off this few times.

"there is no proof that the 4 Deinoychus actually got killed by the Tenontosaurus. The whole deinoychus pack could've been those 4 and they could have died because of lots of things like a volcano or something. Or the 4 deinoychus could have been washed down a river to where the Tenontosaurus was."

I beg to differ. Here's an excerpt from the American Natural History's website, which documents the event of several Deinonychus perishing at the hands of a their would-be prey, Tenontosaurus:

"Tenontosaurus was a medium-sized herbivore (similar to the hadrosaurs, or duck-billed dinosaurs, which were so abundant later in the Cretaceous) that walked on two sturdy hind limbs, balancing its weight over the hips. If Ostrom is correct, then about half the Deinonychus pack perished during the attack on the Tenontosaurus, which eventually succumbed to the others. This might seem like a curious interpretation: a predator is not doing very well if four of its kind are lost for every prey killed."

"i dont have a fave. dino but it seems like there are a lot of rex fans out there. i have nothing against u or rex, but i think ur exadurating. its definately not undefietable."

I don't think any Rex fan has ever said outright that T.rex was invincible. They've just pointed out that it is most likely that T.rex would win a high percentage of the time.

"a pack of V-raptors or even a group of Compsognathus could take it"

Perhaps a pack of Velociraptors or Compsognathus could take on a T.rex...but only if the pack was ridiculously huge (I would estimate upwards of 100 for velociraptors and over 1000 for compsognathus), and the T.rex was incapacitated in some way (broken leg, etc). Otherwise, just rolling over would kill dozens of either species in a theoretcial attack.

"(not to mention the Spinosauras which u seem to have fun pickin' on..."

I don't think rex fans "pick" on Spinosaurus, but may take small joy in tearing apart the incoherent and weak arguements made by flash-in-the-pan spinosaur fans.

"...even though rex wouldn't last 5 minutes)."

You are correct, rex wouldn't last 5 minutes...it'd be done mangling spinosaurus in less than a minute. I'm glad you agree.

"u have 2 admitt ur stretchin' the truth."

Said by someone who probably cannot cope with the truth of T.rex's strength, lethality, ferocity, survivability, and popularity. Truth hurts, don't it?
from Ten-Shun, age ?, ?, ?, ?; November 20, 2001

"Tyrannosaurus also has two s's in it, Lily, S as in &;ª!"

Hmm, I though this was supposed to be moderated. Besides, there's really nothing wrong with feces, one really wonders why you Americans have to turn it into some kind of an insult. Feces after all, is part of the natural world and is entirely normal in the process of life, one would consider you odd and prephaps, even worthy of insult if you cannot pass motion. So feces is hardly an insult, it's really like calling a deer a moose...big deal. If anything, it shows the user's lack of mental fortitude to correctly identify objects. Sad...sad in Allosaurischian's case (another person about to be barred soon)

Laughable, Lame and Loser, on the other hand, are intrinsically human values that are used as insults, in the sense of the concept. As they are not intrinsically natural, using them on Allosaurus would mean as they would mean, that Allosaurus was laughable, lame and a loser. What we have here on one hand is an utterly brilliant verbal sting on Allosaurus, but a rather dull one that fizzled out on Tyrannosaurus. If anyhting, Allosaurus has as many "s"es as Tyrannosaurus. Allosaurischian is clearly defeated in terms of wordplay here.

Ignore it, it was a gremlin post. But resorting to gremlin tatics here is very bad.

It's an instinct, you can tell a Singaporean by the way he speaks and carries himself, something the gremlin can never do.

"What is allosaurus?He's a predator. Is he any good? the Answer is a resounding No"
Sorry wrong answer. The Correct answer is YES!!!
Allosaurus was the biggest, most powerful and most advanced predator of the Jurassic. He was the dominant predator of the Jurassic. Jurassic dinos were NOT lously. I wouldn't call any dinosaur with 4 or 6 one meter long spikes lousy. I also wouldn't call any predator that can hunt surapods 18 or 20 meters long lousy. Therefore Allosaurus was not lousy. He was the King of the Jurassic. And if Allosaurus arms were stupid T Rex arms were pathetic (no offence to T Rex)

i have a theory that the battle between large theropods would be short due to their extrem fiecity and deadly blows. especially for t.rex despite its undisputed power. here is the time in seconds for the rexy to take down its foe.

raptor: 4sec (if the raptor doesn't run away, a single gulp)
allosaurus: 10sec (neck crush by the jaws of rexy)
spinosaurus: 18sec (ramming in the head making him uncalmcious then penetrating spiny's skull with 6 inches teeth)
giganotosaurus: 30sec-40sec (multiple rib fractures due to heavy slamming by the skull, massive and deep wound on the femour to disable him of standing up, strong leg and clawed foot of the rexy pressured gigy's neck on the ground, death jaw of the rexy locked on the inmovable neck for a final crush)

I've been studying Allosaurus, and the more I study him, the more I dislike him. For starters, he can't even look straight. His eyes were on the almost on each side of his head and were not facing forward. This mean he would have had almost no depth perception and that stinks. T.Rex on the other hand had eyes that faced forward like that of a mammalian predator and he would have had excellent dept preception and also, his eyes were bigger, so he would have seen better and further and with depth preception too. Worse, I read that Allosaurus only had adverage arms and a rather small head for a carnosaur. This means that Allosaurus was a sub-standard carnivorous dinosaur that HAD to rely on numbers to survive because they were too weak on their own. T.Rex will have no trouble taking on a pack of these thrid-rate, two-bit carnivores.

T-Rex is almost certainly much better, going by sheer superiority, then Allosaurus. OK, this is real easy guys: The late KT has already come and gone. Allosaurid inc. (TM) did not take over North America (TM). Therefore, every Tyrannosaurid that was ever existed to Tyrannosaurus had to have been successful against putting down the then-occupier Allosaurus. Seriously here: entire Allosaurus divisions could have come up against Tyrannosaurus' grandfather serving on the front lines in Dinosaur Predator World War 2 to no avail. Both the Allosaurian version of Hercules and Xena could have teamed up against Maximus Tyrannus only to have their buttocks (TM) whooped. The Allosaurus doesn't stand a chance even if he had all the denizens of Lame Oversized Allosaurids (not TM) with him. If the Allosaurus was superior, then we couldn't even be sitting here typing about why and how did the Tyrannosaurids achieve dominance so fast over the other predators like Allosaurus in the North American fossil record--and you guys wouldn't be sitting around to argue about it. Can I possibly make myself any more clear than that? No? OK, I'll stop now.
from Jimmy L., age 15, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, USA; November 19, 2001

I think in any case, Deinonychus would be whiped out pretty fast. They took four losses as we know from the fossil record, supposedly taking down an subadult Tenontosaurus. A T.Rex is ten times more massive and a great deal meaner and tougher, pound for pound then a Tenontosaurus, and unlike Tenontosaurus, had was massively more powerful and dangerous, with the ability to instantly blot out an Deinonychus with a single connection. Given the extreme risks, I doubt a Deinonychus pack would even dare attack a T.Rex. Of course, if a single T.Rex was so formidible, it's easy to see how even a small pack of Tyrannosauruses would be largely invulnerable to anything a Deinonychus pack can muster (Heck, a single T.Rex is already nigh invulnerable a Deinonychus pack). And better, the fact that the only raptors left around T.Rex were the pesky, small ones. I doubt raptors ever impressed a Tyrannosaurus as any much of a threat at all, even if he somehow managed to encounter the 10 MYA extinct from his time Deinonychus.

Sure I'll be glad to help you. Tim's and my info could sure make a good essay.

You'll be meaning velociraptor. Velociraptor was a small (1.8m long and about 60cm tall) dromaesaurid, from mongolia and china. It had a long, curved retractable claw on it's 2nd inner toe, (the hallux (big toe) , as in all theropods is tiny and insignificant,) and, contrary to popular beleif did not hunt in packs because it was hollow - boned to help make it lighter, so it could not take damage, so it hunted only small and not dangerous prey (not in packs.) It had one of the stiffest tails in the animal kingdom, held straight by bony rods, so it could only move it at the base. It's relatives included deinonuchus, utahraptor, dromaesaurus and adasaurus. It lived alongside tarbosaurs, therizinosaurs, protoceratopsians and nemegtosaurs, in the upper cretacious period, during the campanian stage. It hunted small mammals and dinosaurs larger than protoceratops where safe. Sorry - gotta go! Tim or Brad or someone will provide the rest!

How anything moved. Pick up your leg move it forward and put it down again. The brain sends a message to the muscle that needs to be moved, and the muscle contracts or stretches moving the part of the body that needs to be moved. Any more detailed or specific info just tell me.

Samy there are lots of reasons to pick different dinosaurs. you could pick Giganotosaurus, T Rex, Spinosaurus, Allosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus or Torvosaurus because the are very big and powerful. Or you could pick Microceratops or compsognathus because the are very small. You could pick Triceratops or Torosaurus because of the large horns on their heads. You could pick Troodon because its the smartest dinosaur or you could pick diplodocous or siesmosaurus because they were the the biggest dinosaurs or you could pick Velociraptor, Utahraptor, Deinoychus or dromaeosaurus because they have large switch blades on their feet and they are agile. But I'm not going to tell you what dinosaur to pick as your favourite dinosaur its your choice.

from Tom G, age ?, ?, ?, ?; November 18, 2001

about the how long it would take Deinoychus to be killed by t rex thing I think it would be about 3 seconds if Deinoychus didn't move and T Rex just had to bend down and kill it but it would take alot longer if Deinoychus did move. Because Deinoychus is very agile and it could probably dodge T Rex or something it would take something like 8 or 10 seconds. But Deinoychus is still REALLY cool

Actually deinonyochus is not the body of velociraptor in Jp movies. V-raptor was based on utah raptor. Right before Jurrasic Park 1 was filmed utah raptor was discovered. The creators of Jp thought it would be cooler and more intense to have a larger raptor that looked fiercer. Though the raptors in jp resemble Dienonychus, they look more like u-raptor.

"when born, the dinosaurs frills were small and were bent backward, like the modern day hammerhead shark, in order for an easier birth.Between 1-2 weeksm later, the frills were fully staightened."

Interesting theory, but why do you think that they wouldn't just lay eggs like other dinosaurs? (And if the crests are used in mating/territorial purposes, why would babies have them at all?)
from Brad, age 14, Woodville, ON, Canada; November 18, 2001

"Actually, the Deinonychus would die instantly if its head was crushed."
And it would be the same if the T-Rex had NOT directly trod on its head. If the T-Rex trod on it stomach or its chest, it would die very fast if not right away. The deinonychus' rib cage would collapse, the vital organs would be smothered... The only way I can see Deinonychus surviing being tread on by a T-Rex would be if the T-Rex only tread on the arms and legs. Of course, with broken arms or legs, the Deinonychus wouldn't last long after that.

My Favourite Dinosaur is Allosaurus.
from Will, age 13, ?, ?, United kingdom; November 17, 2001

"What makes T.REX so special? Why do so many people still like him (we're talking new converts here) even though he's hardly the first dinosaur they know anymore? Any why have other dinosaurs like the Raptors, Giganotosaurus and Spinosaurus fail to be as popular as him despite media boosts as supposed to be T.REX replacers? I remember the raptors used to be touted as the replacers for the most popular dinosaur but now they have faded from sight and people are jaded with
them. Giganotosaurus had a rash of popularity but then he faded too, Spinosaurus became super famous after JP3 but now people laugh at any idea of saying he was ultimate. How come T.REX is still on top? I know kids are not so ignorant nowadays just to stick to T.REX when they got other options, and some T.REX fans I see here are older too. How come T.REX is so popular? Why? Why? Why?"

Why T.rex is so Good

The sight of dinosaurs lumbering across the terrain is a familiar one in the minds of many a dinosaur fan. Neverthless, the sight of an T.R6-D Tyrannosaurus rex osborn still manages to make even the most experienced paleontologist sit up and take notice.

The Tyrannosaurus rex the last and largest design to ensure the superiority of the Super Coelurosaurian species in the evolutionary arms race of the late mezonic. It was as if the Coelurosaurians ancestors of the Tyrannosaurus themselves set down the specifications for the Tyrannosaurus, calling for a "Predator as powerful as possible, as resilient as possible, as deadily as possible, and as swift and foreboding as possbile, so that fear itself will be our ally."

These are apt descriptions for the Tyrannosaurus. Though other dinosaurs might be taller or heavier, none have the Tyrannosaurus' aura. Considerable effort went into making the Tyrannosaurus' weapons as deadily and extreme as possible, it's frame as stout and robust as possible, and it's locomotion as adapted for speed as possible, giving the Tyrannosaurus the best of all world to ensure complete, total, and annihilating victory. The jaws of the animal were made as powerful and deadily as possible and lined with extremely strong teeth, all capable of rending skin, muscle and bone with little prejudice. The result was a complete sucess, and as so, many paleontologists nicknamed the Tyrannosaurus "Death's Head."

The Tyrannosaurus was the only dinosaur to mount such a large a devastating oral weapon capable of biting at unprecedented forces. As if it wasn't extreme enough, the Tyrannosaurus also carries special adaptations to harbour deadily bateria in its teeth to make its already more-then-lethal-enough bite toxic. The jaws were so incredibly sucessful that grappeling arms that were staple in so many other rival designs were discarded to free weight for the jaws. A single solid bite from Tyrannosaurus can inflict crippling damage to the victim.

The dinosaur is resilent and stoutly built, with a very well muscled frame designed to take a severe pounding and still maintain combat effectiveness. In field tests, Tyrannosaurus were subjected to punctured braincases, broken ribs, damaged limbs, large bitten off chunks and even fractured necks. The Tyrannosaurus survived all that without a significant degradation on the animal's killing ability. Toughness was maximised to a degree never found before in other large dinosaur killing designs.

Mobility was also maximised in this uncompromising design. With special limb adaptations and gracile limbs, the Tyrannosaurus has unprecedented speed and mobility over all other dinosaurs in its weight class, even proving to be faster then rival designs who are considerabily lighter. Mixed in with it's incredible jaw, this has created many horror stories concerning Tyrannosaurus and their ability to move in, inflict massive damage, and withdraw before the stunned victim could react. Lacking the speed of the Tyrannosaurus, the targeted animal cannot effectively strike back at the animal, nor escape. Given the massive damage taken from Tyrannosaurus, the animal would be hemorrhaging at an incredible rate and not to mention have it's progess hampered by severed muscles and broken bones. Only very lucky animals do manage to survive actual contact with Tyrannsaurus, for the best countermeasure against such an animal is to have a headstart, a big one.

The dinosaur is extremely intelligent, beating rival non-coelurosaurian designs by a large margin. This enhanced brainpower gives the dinosaur better and finer control over its extremely powerful body, and also handles the flood on information coming in from it's very keen senses. All of Tyrannosaurus senses are above adverage. It's ears can pick up lower frequencies of sound then other dinosaurs, giving it an ability to hear the ts prey from afar, for lower frequencies travel furthest. The eyes are extremely keen and sharp, and are once again above average, possibly seening as keenly or even keener then modern day raptors. The smell however, it the most specialized sense in Tyrannosaurus, making it quite literally, led by its nose.

The Tyrannosaur rose in the mid-cretacious preiod and were so sucessful that they drove virtually every other species of predator in their niche extinct. Even the raptors, another competing coelurosaurian predator design was defeated and forced to lived in the shadow of the Tyrannosaur. The rise of Tyrannosaurus as the latest and most advanced in this family of predatory dinosaur more sucessful then any other dinosaur predator group that ever lived showed that this group showed no signs of slowing down.

Rival contenders to the throne have risen and fallen as fast as they came. The raptors, popularity boosted after over-favourable media coverage, tried an ouster, but was swifty and brutally put down. Other approaches looked at supersized dinosaur predators that had size as their only cheap gimmick against Tyrannosaurus, but lacked the fortitude in the art of killing. These animals, like Giganotosaurus, and more recently, Spinosaurus, wilted almost immediately under the intense comparism of their true abilities to Tyrannosaurus and faded almost as quickly as they came. With every attempted takeover, support for Tyrannosaurus grew stronger and stronger as the media coverage generated by such evens educated more on the awesome abilities of this dinosaur. While the infantile upstarts have faded and disillusioned fans fell in disarry and disbanded, Tyrannosaurus has gone from strength to strength, in an amazing show of sucess that seeks to rival it's incredible sucess 65 million years ago. Tyrannosaurus continue to inspire terror whenever they tread.

"Hmmm, we'll never know how long it would take for a Rex to kill a Deinonychus, because they didn't live at the same time!"

That isn't too hard to estimate, given how one sided it was. Most estimates run below 10 seconds before Deinonychus is smeared into paste.

"The Deinonychus WOULD be very crippled for five seconds. If an elephant trod on YOU (no offence) you would NOT die instantly."

Actually the Deinonychus would die instantly if it's head was crushed. Very crippled is not a good way to put it. How about horrendusly and mortally wounded?

"And the JP3 Raptors where not based on deinonychus,"

"Actually, they were. Or at least the JP and TLW ones (I dunno what on earth those
things in JP3 was, but the movie stank anyway) were. The mix-up starts when the
JP novel mentioned Velociraptor as Crichton decided to use the Predatory
Dinosaurs of the World name for Deinonychus, which was then Velociraptor. For
the author of the book felt that at that time Deinonychus was actually a subspecies
of Velociraptor. This has been disproved, but not before Crichton wrote in
Deinonychus as Velociraptor. Sadly, this carried onto the JP movie, but the
reconstructions for the "Velociraptors" in JP3 were, once again, based on
Deinonychus! What we had was actually Deinonychus running aroung in the first
and second JP movies until they morphed into something we can hardly
distinguish as a raptor. But the fact remains that the JP people reconstructed their
"raptors" more akin to Deinonychus then Velociraptor!"

Maybe they wanted to base it on deinonychus. But they totally failed then. Deinonychus had a taller, shorter head, The premaxilliae where shorter in deinonychus than in velociraptor, too and Deinonychus was MORE ROBUST! The JP peple made a real mess of it. Also, thanks for telling me about the mistake in the novel. I was surprised, when an ANTIRRHOPUS was meant to be a velociraptor in the book when it is really a deinonychus. I was real confused!

Buffy WHY is Kakaru called Kakaru?

The Deinonychus WOULD be very crippled for five seconds. If an elephant trod on YOU (no offence) you would NOT die instantly. And make no mistake, deinonychus was a formidable predator in it's own right. But 1 on 1 against a tyrannosaur pretty much anything would lose.

"Or tread on it. Eeeeeeeeven slower."

If T.rex trod on Deinonychus, wouldn't it be instant death? It would be anything but slow. I mean T.rex weights 6 tons, for crying out loud. How would puny Deinonychus even wish to endure enough time to be described as "Eeeeeeeeven slower." I pretty sure that is an elephant trod on Deinonychus, it would die really quick, and T.rex was bigger then an elephant.

"Read more, Ten-Shun, these people said Compsognathus could take down Deinonychus."

Huh? I didn't say anything, perhaps you are referring to Honkie? ...While I'm here: I agree that a deinonychus couldn't last longer than you could say "Now wasn't that slick?" against a rex.
from Ten-Shun, age ?, ?, ?, ?; November 16, 2001

Yes, it would definetly not take as much as 8 seconds for a T-Rex to kill a Deinonychus.
It would only take one secong for T-rex to catch Deinonychus in its jaws, and probably another second and a half to kill it.

Can you be more specific, da masta? Which dinosaurs do you want me to tell you the weights of?

What makes T.REX so special? Why do so many people still like him (we're talking new converts here) even though he's hardly the first dinosaur they know anymore? Any why have other dinosaurs like the Raptors, Giganotosaurus and Spinosaurus fail to be as popular as him despite media boosts as supposed to be T.REX replacers? I remember the raptors used to be touted as the replacers for the most popular dinosaur but now they have faded from sight and people are jaded with them. Giganotosaurus had a rash of popularity but then he faded too, Spinosaurus became super famous after JP3 but now people laugh at any idea of saying he was ultimate. How come T.REX is still on top? I know kids are not so ignorant nowadays just to stick to T.REX when they got other options, and some T.REX fans I see here are older too. How come T.REX is so popular? Why? Why? Why?

"And the JP3 Raptors where not based on deinonychus,"

Actually, they were. Or at least the JP and TLW ones (I dunno what on earth those things in JP3 was, but the movie stank anyway) were. The mix-up starts when the JP novel mentioned Velociraptor as Crichton decided to use the Predatory Dinosaurs of the World name for Deinonychus, which was then Velociraptor. For the author of the book felt that at that time Deinonychus was actually a subspecies of Velociraptor. This has been disproved, but not before Crichton wrote in Deinonychus as Velociraptor. Sadly, this carried onto the JP movie, but the reconstructions for the "Velociraptors" in JP3 were, once again, based on Deinonychus! What we had was actually Deinonychus running aroung in the first and second JP movies until they morphed into something we can hardly distinguish as a raptor. But the fact remains that the JP people reconstructed their "raptors" more akin to Deinonychus then Velociraptor!

"Deinonychus wasn't like a velociraptor, it was stouter, more robust and tougher."

Of course, you do realize you are talking relative to raptors here. Deinonychus was still a pretty fragile dinosaur.
from Leonard, age 14, ?, ?, ?; November 16, 2001

"Or it could close it's jaws down. Deinonychus would die in about 8 seconds."

Actually that would mean an instant death for Deinonychus. If T.Rex closed it's jaws down, Deinonychus' body would not even be considered a hard target for an animal that could demolish Triceratops hipbones who themselves weight even much more then Deinonychus, and were pure bone, not flesh and blood. I doubt Deinonychus could survive anywhere near 8 seconds, it's like going under a hydraulic press, it'll die instantly. It won't bleed to death, it won't be so seriously wounded that it'll take 8 seconds to die, it'll just be crushed, with it's spine broken and internal organs pulverized entirely. So if T.Rex swooped and picked up Deinonychus (1 second), and chomped down right away after that event, Deinonychus would be dead by the third second, if not he'll be well on his way. Either case, Deinonychus is one dead dino by the third second. 8 seconds seems like a ridiculus amount of time to survive for an 80-kilo animal in a set of jaws that can exert 20,000-30,000 newtons of force. Heck, T.Rex jaws could tear off more meat then a Deinonychus weighted itself (up to 150 kilos in a good connection)! Deinonychus to T.Rex would be nothing more then a mouthful he regularly tore off larger prey! 8 seconds? I don't think so.
from Leonard, age 14, ?, ?, ?; November 16, 2001

I think 3 seconds is surely possible, the dieno has the start in T.Rex's jaws though, for fair's sake. For we only consider attacks when they contact with the victim, not when the animal starts. So in this case, we consider an attack from T.Rex to start at the point of time he makes contact with dieno. T.Rex dosen't even have to shake Dieno, one swift bite can shear the raptor into half with over 15,000 lbs of force, and he can do it within 3 seconds.

1. The largest prehistoric Croc was sarcosuchu imperator, at a whoppin 50 feet long. Skull length around Five Feet.

2. You might be right Tim, but I'm pretty sure that gargoyleosaurus is in the Denver Museum of Natural History, maybe New Mexico bought it.

3. Jobaria was found in Niger.

Since I "stood in your limelight" or whatever it is you said, I'll let you answer a question to make up for it. How many SEGNOSAURUS specimens have ever been found? I'm notorious here for not being up to date but I think I've got my facts clear here. There's another question "rolling" in your direction. Better blast it away, huh?
from da masta, age ?, ?, ?, ?; November 15, 2001

Read more, Ten-Shun, these people said Compsognathus could take down Deinonychus. This is what I would have said to them.

Hey, WHY ARE YOU people even IMAGINING that T.Rex and Deinonychus fought? THEY LIVED AT DIFFERENT TIMES!! But if they did have a fight T.Rex would win, yes, but compsognathus RREALLY didn't live at the time of Deinonychus! YOU PEOPLE ARE BEING STUPID!!!!!!!!

So this realeses all my anger, good.

"does anyone have any important information on Mussaurus"

A late triassic baby prosauropod, found in southern argentina if my memory serves me right. I think a whole nest was found, and the largest baby was only 20cm long. The adults may have reached three meters though.

do you know a web site where I can buy it ?
from santhosh R, age 14, annemasse, france, ?; November 16, 2001

What's current weight estimate for the largest theropods? I just read a paper on the new Acrocanthosaurus (Currie & Carpenter, 2000) that gave the weight of Giganotosaurus at 4160 kg, and Tyrannosaurus also at 4160 kg. Is this too light?

"T.Rex could whip Deinonychus' arse before you could say 'Now wasn't that slick?'"

"There's some preverse truth in this statement, you know. Assuming we are talking at normal speed, Saying "Now wasn't that slick" would take us about 3 seconds. I'm pretty sure Tyrannosaurus could kill Deinonychus within 3 seconds in his jaws."

3 seconds? Are you sure? It wouldn't be that fast. T - rex would have to bend down, and pick up deinonychus. 1 - 2 seconds. If it shook deinonychus it would snap it's spine in about another, 5 seconds? 3 seconds? Or it could close it's jaws down. Deinonychus would die in about 8 seconds. Or throw it. Even slower. Or tread on it. Eeeeeeeeven slower. So 5 seconds is the bare minimum. Deinonychus wasn't like a velociraptor, it was stouter, more robust and tougher. And the JP3 Raptors where not based on deinonychus, even if the size was similar. Deinonychus had a shorter snout and neck and was more robust. Also, using language like "whip arse" can be highly offensive, especially to deinonychus fans like Gianna.

My name may sound like I think I'm the best but I just can't be bothered to change it. Why should I? It's original, and many people copy it. Like 'da "real" masta' 'masta over masta' and 'da masta gold.'

WCW Dinosaurs and WCW BLOODBATH (a suspended cage is the ring) should start later this week. Red Rage and WDW will open this month, hopefully.

Tim, I don't want to give you too much trouble but if you know the weights of any medium or large theropods, (you probably know them all,) then please tell me! It'll help by saving time and WCW Dinoz will start sooner. I'm hoping for a large audience...
