Question of the Day, August 23, 2010

[Nouw]

Spoiler: Megalodon

You will shit your pants if you see it while swimming or in water.

 

[sgtshock]

If you're talking about real dinosaurs, the Velociraptor was half the size of a human and probably not as coordinated as the movies make you think, so the T-rex would win. If you're going by Jurassic Park dinosaurs... well the raptors got their asses handed to them by the T-rex in the end, so T-rex wins, period.

Also, anyone who voted that they hate dinosaurs either had no childhood, or has no soul.

 

[Gigaguy64]

Stegosaurus.

Those Spikes weren't just for Defense, hell they weren't just for fighting either.
There is even speculation that it had a Second Bran that helped control the Reflexes of its lower body and Boost the main Bran in times of Danger.

 

[qwijiboenator]

Velociraptors, despite what Jurassic Park showed, were about the size of a chicken.

No freakin' way the'd take down any of the others...

 

[Luke Cartner]

Triceratops

 

[drisky]

Triceratops, scientists say they beat T-rexs every time, and velociraptors are cheaters.

 

[BlindChance]

Brachiosaurus easy.

Isn't anything big enough to take this guy down in a 1v1.

That's my thought too. It ain't that sexy to say, but the Sauropoda simply win on pure size. Even on their own, facing a pack of really large predators, they would simply be too big to bring down unless sick or previously injured. Argentinosaurus would likely win. (Yes, I'm a Dinosaurs 3D: Giants of Patagonia fanboy.)

Edit:

I'd have to vote for amphicoelias fragillimus. Why? It's the biggest dinosaur in existence. Gigantosaurus got nothin' on him. Amphicoelias is the biggest, by far. He could squash an entire pack of savvy raptors with one foot!

Holy cow. Yeah, I'm changing my vote to that one. That thing is HUGE.

 

[Citrus]

Velociraptors are overrated. People think they were intelligent because of Jurassic Park, but in reality they were no smarter than a modern tiger or lion.

So they can get crossed right off. I'd go with the Amphicoelias Fragillimus.

 

[teisjm]

Well... Are the raptors allowed to bring raptor jesus so they have a healer who can ressurect himself? if yes then i don't even see any compettition.

 

[f0re1gn]

Well, I'd say a group of deinonychae would kick everyone's ass - they're a bit larger than the velociraptors and probably just as vicious, if not more.

 

[Glamorgan]

A group of savvy velociraptors all the way.

Rawr

 

[Lacsapix]

If it can fly when others can't it will win.

 

[irani_che]

problly a pack of Utahraptors would be better, about 7 feet tall, acted in packs like velociraptor.
If you think dromeasaurids are not dangerous, you have never seen coyotes

 

[Motti]

Considering you can kill a t-rex by making it fall over I'd go with a pack of velociraptors. They may also be able to bring a pterodactylus down, albeit with great difficulty.

 

[Killerscape]

the velociraptors for sure no competition.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Allosaurus, that thing was a frickin' monster.

 

[Comrade Azza]

There is never any Stego love. Ever.

 

[silver wolf009]

Velociraptors are actually smaller than Jurassic Park would have you believe; they're about the size of a large dog.

EDIT:

Spoiler: Oh yea, and as some of the above posters said, it looked liked a turkey.

True but there was a form of raptor discovered in Utah that did match the size of the jurrasic park raptors. They aren't velociraptors, they are the mighty, UTAHRAPTOR!!

BOW TO THEM

 

[Megacherv]

Isn't it known that a Spinosaurus can (well, could) kill a T-Rex?

No... it isn't known, because its not true. I dunno if you are aware of this, but Jurassic Park was not a documentary with live footage of actual dinosaurs. Spinosaurus was semi aquatic... like a giant bipedal crocodile, without the ability of modern crocodiles/alligators to "twist" off chunks of flesh from their prey. Spinosaurus couldn't "death roll", and his jaws were designed to catch large fish in river deltas, not take down prey nearly as large as himself. The Tyrannosaurus Rex on the other hand had stronger jaws with much larger teeth, specifically designed to take large chunks out of other large dinosaurs.

Ahh, you see, I just heard it years ago, and had no idea it was just made up.
