Who was the most fearsome dinosaur?

That looks awesome!

From encyclopedia Britannica.

Okay, I just read the discussion about Spino. It is full of crap.
1. Spino's tail was stiff and made for balance. Unless it wanted to crouch down and spin in circles, it could not break a Carchar's leg bone.
2. It's jaws were too weak to bite anything and damage it a whole lot.
3. Spino could not move its arms very well, and so could not rip out another Dinosaur's throat.
4. Big does not mean powerful. The only reasons Spino was big and heavy were: a) he needed to scare off other large predators because he couldn't fight them and b) he needed to make sure he wouldn't get washed away in a river while he was hunting for fish.

True, so true

-#1: It's not like another dino could do the same--Diplodocus had those tails
- #2: If crocodile's jaws can kill a zebra, then Spino, which is much larger, could easily do the same
-#3: Think realisticly-- It wouldn't rip out another dino's throat; not many dinosaurs had that intelligence. Besides, Spino had long arms for its kind.
-#4: Big does mean powerful. T rex was big, and everyone says powerful. Spino was larger, twice as powerful. A) Spino was large enough to fight other predators of its time. It's not like it could fight T rex.
B) Okay--The washed away in a river thing is just not plausible, even for smaller dinosaurs..... This is 7 TONS we are talking about. Not a flimsy Gallimimus.

I still don't think it was all that strong. The spine could easly break.

Spine snap

OUCH!!!!!

I think spino because :

It was lightweight

It was the biggest land carnivore

And it was built to fish but it has big claws

Plus Watch JP3

lightweight? what kind of crap is that?

JPOG Nerd 01 wrote:It was the biggest land carnivore

Estimated.

That is the only thing spino has going for him...

You think that JP3 is right?

....My crap.

Incorrect, I study Dinosaurs and I know for a fact, giganotasaurus was larger.

INCORRECT yourself..... IT was about 52 feet or longer.

Okay, please stop with the "crap," next time I may not be so lenient.
-I'll tell you what kinda crap "lightweight" is-- It means less fat than T rex or Giganto.
-Biggest land carnivore is not estimated, but true. Read up.....
-It had great jaws and conical teeth. Goodbye, T rex or Giganto.

I still think spino is bigger look at this !!!!!!

What does that tell you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It tells me you need to realize that I think Spino is bigger, too. Read my post.

Me And Gopher Think Spino was Bigger.

Velociraptor
1. Small size means it can get through cramped spaces.
2. Incredibly smart( large brain cavity)
3. Vocalisation (it has a resonating chamber)
4. Lethal Killing claws on both feet.
5.It hunts in packs to do more damage

1. Diplodocus and Spinosaurus were two different animals. And even that theory is beginning to wane.
2. A Crocodile's jaws were almost as powerful as Rex's (hint hint). Besides, look at these two skulls:

Spino

Crocodile

Notice how, while they may appear similar at first, there is one major difference:
The Croc's skull is flattened and broad, whilst Spino's is very skinny and somewhat tall. Following? Good.

3. Alright, let's see if I can find this quote...
Here we go!

Sagus on MG wrote:How exactly would they swin with their arms considering the fact that they can't move their wrists more than 90º AND that their arms couldnt move more than 180º? They couldn't even raise their arms sideways like we do.

4. This is what sickens me. BIG =/= POWERFUL! Robert Wadlow:

Was he powerful? NO! He died of heart failure. My two reasons still stand.

Ya, They Do

Me da debater!

oh , So you argue ???

No, I debate. There's a difference.

I think it was utahraptor. reasons:
1. it was big
2. that claw in the foot
3. strong foot muscles
4. it could jump so high and far
5. sharp teeth
6. agressive
7. run fast

thats what ooppel thinks

Maybe, I'm Pretty Sure on spino.

Spino is a quite fearsome and so is utah raptor
