Tyrannosaurus T-rex and Giganotosaurus, which one will win?

In fact, the battle between Giganotosaurus dinosaurs and T-rex will never happen because they live in two different eras as well as two different locations . Giganotosaurus lived in North America 97 million years ago, while T-rex lived in South America 65 million years ago. But take a look at the winning ability of the T-rex tyrant dinosaur when confronting the Giganotosaurus dinosaurs!

Tyrannosaurus T-rex confronts the Giganotosaurus dinosaur.

Tyrannosaurus Rex typhoon ( often called the abbreviation T. rex ) is one of the strongest dinosaurs and the largest predator of all time. With huge size, fast speed and a frightening killer ( literally ), it is hard to confirm that it is very intense, fierce and " beautiful ". At least this beauty is measured by the power to destroy things around you.

Anyway, the T-rex tyrant dinosaur will certainly get more attention than the Giganotosaurus dinosaur. From the main character in the movie Jurassic Park and is best known for the dinosaur image running on the screen when the Internet is not connected. T-Rex tyrants are also part of our common culture.

When losing the Internet people often play dinosaurs on computers.

Unfortunately, the absolute superiority of T-rex tyrant dinosaurs now has to ask questions.Giganotosaurus - a giant dinosaur that existed before the T-rex tyrant dinosaur for more than 30 million years, seems to be a formidable opponent. None of us want to take the crown from the king of the T-rex dinosaurs to give to Giganotosaurus, right? So this is an analysis that people can see that T-rex or Giganotosaurus is a stronger predator.

Compare characteristics of Giganotosaurus and T-Rex

Size

Unlike what many of us already know, T-rex tyrannosaurus is not the largest dinosaur in history . Giganotosaurus dinosaurs are larger in size. With a body weight of up to 14 tons ( about 8,000 kg ) larger than the T-rex tyrant dinosaurs and from 12m to 13m long, they " defeated " Sue ( the largest and most complete specimen of T-rex, a tyrant dinosaur, is on display at the Field Natural History Museum ), weighs only about 9 tons and is about 12 meters long.

We found two specimens of the Giganotosaurus dinosaur, which also gave the Giganotosaurus dinosaurs the benefit of suspicion that there might be even more Giganotosaurus.

Speed ​​when running

The speed of running may not be the most important thing for this large dinosaur, but when it comes to being the most powerful predator, it is definitely something you need to consider.

The maximum speed of the T-rex tyrant dinosaur has caused a debate for years.

The running speed of a dinosaur is estimated by constructing muscle structures, body weight, length of limbs and estimating mass center . The comparison of the distance between two limbs and size The size of each limb is the method used to estimate the movement speed of ancient dinosaurs. However, these methods are very complex and have many difficulties that scientists may encounter when trying to estimate the velocity of a dinosaur's run.

The maximum speed of the T-rex tyrant dinosaur has caused a debate for years. While some scientists estimate the maximum speed of T-rex to be 16km / hour (10mph) , another estimate is 72.4km / hour (45mph) - the difference between them is quite large. On the other hand, Giganotosaurus is assumed to be able to run at 50km / hr (31.3mph) .

However, due to the inconsistency in this feature and the winner is not clearly defined, we consider this a draw with a draw ratio.

Shape and structure

Both the tyrant T-rex and Giganotosaurus had long bodies, large limbs, a large skull and two small forelimbs. T-rex tyrant dinosaurs have two very short and weak front limbs, unable to touch their mouths and each hand has only 2 fingers. And Giganotosaurus has two fairly strong, long enough limbs, sharp claws and up to 3 fingers. However, we still do not understand the function of these weapons fingers.

Both have strong thigh muscles, benefiting from the ability to run fast. Moreover, they also have long and thick tails that help balance the weight of the skull ( very large and heavy stuff ). However, it seems that T-rex has a bigger tail than Giganotosaurus, which can be used to knock down opponents. And Giganotosaurus has a smaller tapered tail, contributing to its agility and sharp and sharp surfing ability.

Giganotosaurus' surgery seems to have made it a stronger predator.

Jaw muscles

If fighting 1: 1 with T-rex, then Giganotosaurus would probably be less skilled.

While the speed and anatomy of these two dinosaurs seem to be easily comparable, we can see that the muscular strength of T-rex is probably much larger . T-rex has a short, very strong jaw, 1.2m wide, bite force up to 3.6T. With this jaw T-rex can easily bite the opponent's neck or bite large pieces of meat. That is the ability to bite with force of 35,586 N ( 8,000 pounds of force ) - a force equivalent to the weight of three cars or two medium cars!

And Giganotosaurus dinosaurs have long jaws, not too big, many sharp teeth and jaws of about 2T. So when comparing jaw muscles, it is obvious that T-rex is more beneficial than Giganotosaurus.

In addition, T-rex often hunts alone when confronted with other predatory dinosaurs, it is very aggressive, can even fight with its fellow humans, whoever loses will be eaten. And Giganotosaurus usually hunts in groups, if fighting 1: 1 with T-rex, then Giganotosaurus will probably be less skilled .

Tooth structure

Basically, T-rex seems to have a much more developed tooth structure than the Giganotosaurus.

An important factor for predators is tooth structure. While, Giganotosaurus has a nearly all teeth that are identical, large and flat, T-rex has a different type of teeth . The incisors for biting and pulling, the fangs for meat tearing and the molars are used for chewing meat.

Basically, T-rex seems to have a much more developed tooth structure than the Giganotosaurus, which seems to be obvious when T-rex has added 30 million years of evolution.

For easy visualization, the tooth structure of T-rex is very similar to the structure of human teeth. We often use incisors to bite food, fangs to tear and jaw teeth to chew. Of course, they usually eat other dinosaurs, and we don't, this is really different.

Intelligence

As mentioned earlier, both of these dinosaurs have " giant " skulls. Giganotosaurus has a 1.6m long skull, while T-rex has a skull about 1.5m long. Although Giganotosaurus 'skull is larger, Giganotosaurus' brain is smaller and shaped just like a banana. T-rex's brain is bigger and bigger.

A recent study also showed that the ancestors of T-rex developed advanced brain function and sensory awareness long before reaching the maximum size, which was a first development feature of the giant long. In fact, T-rex is actually one of the smartest dinosaurs .

In addition to having a bigger and smarter brain than Giganotosaurus, T-rex also has a better vision. His eyes can see 6 times more fine than normal people, and Giganotosaurus eyes are not as good as T-rex.

Therefore, the winner is Tyrannosaurus Rex tyrant dinosaur!

T-rex really still deserves the title of King of the Dinosaurs - King of the Dinosaur.

After considering all the above factors, my opinion - the author of the article said that T-rex really still deserves to hold the title of King of the Dinosaurs - King of the Dinosaur . However, Giganotosaurus dinosaurs can certainly give a big fight.
