There's already a carcharodontosaurid called Tyrannotitan. xD But I guess that's why you stopped with that name.

Just pretend my last post didn't happen since it was a dumb post anyway, and happened like more than a week ago. I'm annoyed by the belief that just because prehistoric animals live in the past, they must therefore be inferior to modern animals. I don't see how that works, are your great grandparents inferior to you just because they're dead? Didn't think so.

I hate when a dinosaur only gets recognition if it can win in a fight.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex vs. Spinosaurus thing seems to have expanded into any dinosaur that cant kill another, even if they lived on opposite sides of the world, millions and millions of years apart, is inferior or stupid.

Eh, it might not have been the loser, but I'm just going to stop there before a whole debate starts. That's what Carnivora is for, anyways.

Besides, fights between Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus during times of hardship would've been much cooler, IMO.

Agreed. As long as it's like the realistic version shown in Planet Dinosaur, and not the idiotic JP3-esque battle in Monsters Resurrected.

And neither would have fought the way they are depicted, spino has slender jaws and far more wicked claws but a fish eater, not the Godzilla type thing they turned it , and T. rex would crush anything that went between its jaws, as its bite force was the same as it weighed.

When I do my stop motion dinosaur shorts I am going to try a battle scene between those two

Fights were not as common as they are depicted, I doubt spino would have any interest in fighting the Rex, and the Rex would be wary of such a big predator, and the battle would have factors that can change the outcome, if it was near water the spino would get in and get out of their,

But the whole Jurassic fight club like paleo world is just and is so annoying

Even in the battle between Carcha and Spino, I doubt it would be happen that often. Both theropods filled the very different niches in their world. I can imagine a scene when a large Carcharodontosaurus drinking at the river, with a large Spinosaurus wandered nearby in the shallow water without any conflict between both of them.

But of course, if have opportunity. Carcha might try to take down a young Spinosaurus that wandered too far from water edge or an ill or injured one, which would be the same if a hatchling or very young Carchar get into a large Spinosaurus's way.

But what about during a time when a swamp dried up, forcing Spino to look for food on dry land. Perhaps a Carcha has brought down a dino nearby, and the hungry Spino fights him for the carcass. We do have evidence of a fight between the two animals (Spino vertebrae with Carcha bite marks in them).

was that really a bite mark ? or was it just broken, and people said "it must have been a fight !" to make it more appealing to the public ?
anyway, Spino was the one with the stronger bite between the two (talking about Carcha, not rexy) and it was a lot bigger (more than 10 tons against the 6-7 of Carcha), not to mention it would have looked even bigger with that hump on its back.
Modern carnivores will leave a carcass if a larger predator approaches, except sometimes when they have the advantage of numbers on their side.

I hate the fact that T. rex is so popular while other animals that deserve much more attention are just not having attention ...

to be honest, I think that T-rex is the popular one, not T. rex

Well I think that you know that I mean Tyrannosaurus rex

And what also annoys me that North American dinosaurs are so popular but that european or australian dinosaurs are not that well known under the people
