Allosaurus Vs T Rex
Rex and Allosaurus are both theropods, but they're members of completely different families-Tyrannosauridae and Allosauridae. I don't know very much about genetics or taxonomy, but the first comparison that comes to mind is a dog mating with a cat. These animals would of never met they lived at completely different times Allosaurus lived in the Jurassic period while Tyranosaurus rex lived at the end of the cretaceous period but if some how some way these animals ended up meeting and they dec.

Thank you for your cooperation. Your video used figures that really underestimated the weight and power of T-rex.The adult T-rex had a bite force of or 6.5 tons(that's more than the weight of a ). So one bite is enough to crush any neck bone it wants.The T-rex had an enormous 5 foot head built mainly to house over 3 feet of superficial masseter and posterior deep masseter. Which is totally overkill compared to other animals with long jaw muscles.If t-rex gets a clear line to spino's neck (like it did in the movies) it's not going to let go.
It's jaw was built to make a quick super destructive bite to break the neck bones. And Tigers have a similar kill technique to just lock on the the neck and break it.The jaguar video killing the camen is exactly how the fight will go down on land or in water. The engineers at Stanford gathered every relevant resource possible in designing the model and simulation.The basic formula for calculating the bite force was finding out the the length and width of the different sets of masseter then'isometrically scaled (i.e. Length ∝ mass1/3, areas ∝ mass1/3) all our MDA models to the mass of the adult T. Rex model and repeated our analysis.' There is so much quantifiable data involved with Tyrannosaurs Rex research because we have way more fossil evidence to support scientific claims.was huge compared to other predators, which is the part of the brain used for forming strategy. It was capable of complex thought.It had an 10x bigger than a bloodhound.
It's super powered nose could easily smell a spinosaurus from miles away, no matter what river bank it was hiding in. We do, but they're all significantly smaller than Tyrannosaurus. It's definite that Tyrannosaurus' ancestors and close relatives had feathers, but as far as Tyrannosaurus himself, whether he had a significant plumage is still unknown.
To date, no large therapod with feathers has been discovered.It's also important to remember that for very large animals, thermal regulation is more of an issue, and having a later of insulation (I.E. Feathers) in a warm climate, as we know Late Cretaceous North America was, could have been fairly problematic. This guy also gives a pretty good description of a fight between the 2 animals.Rex was about 10 feet shorter length-wise but was built like a tank, with a proportionally wider rib cage compared to other theropods. Rex also had a much wider, more robust skull & jaws, built for crushing; and a powerfully built neck which I assume it could use for thrashing around to tear off chunks of flesh.
I picture Rex killing its prey the same way a jaguar in the Amazon does, with a swift crushing bite to the skull or neck vertebrae. Rex also had a larger brain cavity than Spino, so it was probably more intelligent - possibly giving Rex the greater ability to employ strategy or identify & exploit weaknesses.Spino's new reconstruction gives it a quadraped appearance (instead of bipedal), because the newly discovered specimen had much shorter/smaller hind legs than the fake JP3 Spino.
So could Spino walk on 2 legs at all? Idk, maybe it could for brief periods of time, like how a chimp rears up on 2 legs temporarily, but nobody really knows. Spino's only clear advantage would be its powerful front limbs & claws, which could be used to swipe and grasp at Rex's face and neck (especially if it's claws landed a blow to Rex's jugular).In a confrontation with Rex, Spino's bite could inflict flesh wounds; but it's longer, narrower skull & jaws lacked the crushing power Rex had - as it was built more for catching fish. Spino would have to keep the Rex at a distance with its long powerful front claws, and protect its vulnerable neck at all costs.IMO, I visualize 2 possible scenarios playing out:1.) An aggressive/enraged Rex could use its robust body & head like a battering ram and simply bull-rush the Spino, grasping onto its head or neck vertebrae, and thrashing it around like a Pitbull with a chew toy; or crush its skull/neck bones like a jaguar would do to a caimen.2.) Spino rears up on 2 legs and uses its powerful front arms & claws to grasp T-Rex by the head/neck, and pulls or wrestles it to the ground.
Allosaurus Vs T-rex Who Would Win
Once on the ground, the Spino slashes and bites at Rex's more vulnerable regions, like the neck or belly. A quick Google of 'spinosaurus posture' will show that the issue of how this animal stood- or even what the basic proportions and arrangement of its bones were- is unresolved. It is therefore far too early, I think, to say how exactly a fight between these two would play out.
It is true that Tyrannosaurus has a massive bite strength advantage. From what we do know of Spinosaurus, its mobility was likely sub-par relative to other theropods. It had 'short' legs, but how short is not clear. Its fairly gracile forelimbs suggest to me, at least, that it didn't spend much time shuffling around on all fours; also, this would have required knuckle-walking, as theropods cannot pronate their hands. To me, the thickness and shape of its hand bones don't look conducive to knuckle-walking. We do know that it ate fish and lived in a muddy, swampy habitat.
T Rex Vs Allosaurus Video
I saw belly-sliding suggested as a form of locomotion when not in water. It's not clear that Spinosaurus could have rotated its legs out to the sides enough to do this effectively. I do think T-rex would have won in most cases, but I don't think this video adequately covers the mystery surrounding Spinosaurus.
