There are similar debates in other fields of animal study, and ones that are even more controversial. In snakes for example, the “biggest snake” is often listed as the anaconda, but several large pythons are significantly longer than anacondas are, though are leaner and weigh less. Reticulated pythons for example. The max lengths of both snakes are not even close. The longest ever anaconda was 17 feet long, and the largest Reticulated Python was nearly 28 feet long. So many people consider Retics and other large pythons that routinely grow longer than 17 feet as “larger” than anacondas, which are short and stocky.

Exactly, it's like looking at a gorilla next to a human and not being able to realize that the gorilla is clearly going to be double to triple the weight. Relatively small appearing differences in skeletal width and robustness appear to lead to much more significant mass in real life - eg a bear skeleton vs a large big cat skeleton may not look that different in length or height but a polar bear can weigh up to 1000kg compared to a huge 300kg big cat. If anything, the more skeletons are found, the more likely it is that T-Rex will keep getting larger in maximum estimate given it's uniquely robust build compared to all the other megatherapods. The sheer number of massive individuals of T-Rex already found does seem to agree with the idea that we're only seeing examples from the middle of the bell curve, with monstrous examples of 10-12 tonnes probably being relatively common up to this proposed 15T max weight.

The cast skeleton of Giganotosaurus in Plaza Huincul Museum is exactly 12,00 m long with oversized skull. So the t-rex was longer, taller and much heavier than Giga. The second Giga specimen wasn't bigger than the holotype, I have picture (not composite picture) about the two dentry fragment, in the picture they are on a table a few cm apart, and they are exactly the same size. So the 8% larger Giga is just a legend like the 15m long Saurophaganax.

Educate yourself. People with a brain actually work for hours and hours to find the slighest piece of information. Paleontology isn't a mere guesswork. The fact that your world revolves around t rex vs spinosaurus is just pathetic. The "bias" that really exists in paleontology is based on the fact that some scientists have their own theory. Hence according to them their designs of a specific creature could vary when compared to the work of another scientist. Anyways when it spinosaurus, there is absolutely zero evidence of spino ever outright reaching the weights of t rex. Also we have recovered like 70% of the creature with the discovery of the tail. The mystery related to the creature revolves around it's behaviour, arrangements of certain bones, and the need for such unique characteristics.

There’s been a lotta contention recently concerning the new giga estimates being larger than T. rex so lemme explain the best that I can. Dan Folkes recently put the largest giga specimen at 10.4 metric tons, tying with his measurements for the largest Rex specimen (Scotty) at 10.4 metric tons as well. (However he admits this measurement isn’t as precise as his previous giga estimate.) Some are also pushing a 10.5 tonne estimate for the giga specimen, making it heavier than Dan’s rex measurements, making Giganotosaurus the biggest theropod by this standard. However it should be mentioned that Dan’s 10.4 tonne Rex measurement is on the low end when compared with other estimates from different sources. Conservative estimates for Scotty place her at around 10.6 tonnes, already outweighing giga’s new weight, not to mention the high end being around 11 tonnes. With these estimates I think it is safer to assume T. rex is still the largest theropod in terms of weight as of 2023, but If you decide to side with Dan’s 10.4 tonne Scotty estimate, I rlly have no problem with that. It’s important to remember that knowing the precise weight of a long dead animal is close to impossible, so this information is subject to change. It’s also important to not get hostile towards someone just because they propose ur favorite dinosaur may be smaller than another.
@tyrannosaurusrex8183

@AL-qs9bl I understand 10.5 and 10.6 metric tons translates to 11 tons. I was being more precise, as opposed to referring to the measurements as just 11 tons. The 11 tonne estimate I got from here docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10kENNmyqPts-fv-nCgK4Rse5YggniHiVTvj6BVv1JDo/htmlview# Even if I did make it up, 11 tonnes wouldn’t be a far fetched estimate to propose. What I’m saying is that given the estimate ranges for both T. rex and giga I think it is safer to assume T. rex is the largest theropod when the opposition is based on a single person’s estimates for a very fragmentary specimen, but again if you side with Dan’s measurements it’s fine by me. God bless🙏
@@Shimosevilbrother99stop with the goddamn 10.5 tonne giga, no actual paleontologist puts it at that size, the largest estimate is 10.4 tonnes by Dan Folkes, T.rex is still the largest, unless you believe in the 10.4 tonne Scotty, but even then they're equal.

Hi bud, sorry I’ve never seemed to catch your name and I hate calling you Bud but ehh… anyway you said to comment on what you were saying and my most humble thoughts are that I would think that the carnivores would first be trying to go for young or injured individuals and not fit, in shape ones that could easily injure them. Also, I would imagine they would also be on the lookout for dead or dying creatures or stealing from carnivores that were smaller or easily intimidated… just like the carnivores that exist today. You’ve probably already said all this in previous episodes but I’m old as dirt and probably missed that… so I apologize if that’s the case. I thoroughly enjoy your channel and videos though so I hope you keep making them… it’s hard to find such good content like you provide. I’ll stop now as I tend to rattle on… hope life treats you well sir!

The tyrant king remains the top. But it’s insane how many charcharo family members there are in the list. The largest members were almost certainly apex predators in their niches. Charcharodontosaurus probably was the most dominant animal even with spinosaurus in its environment

@@carnoraptor79 ok what fossils suggest spinosaurus was the more dominant one? As I recall the broken spine vertebrae was a primary example of their interaction, and that only proved Charcharo not only fought, but it was tall enough to reach the top of its spines. And yes most apex predators are generalist/opportunistic by nature, but spinosaurus was not evolved to maneuver as efficiently on land. Charcharo had long powerful legs perfectly evolved for land mobility, on top of it we know it hunted large game. Spinosaurus was not equipped to take down large Dinos. The apex role was definitely filled by charcharodontosaurus

@@GODEYE270115 Yet that one broken neural process literally showed signs of healing which meant the Spino survived the encounter. There was also another fossil where a Spinosaurus tooth was lodged inside a Carcharodontosaurus back vertebrae that didn't show signs of healing, which also proved Spino's jaws can do alot more damage than what most people want to believe. Yet real life nature proves varying degrees of dominance. A Jaguar is the top land predator of its area yet it prefers to keep its distance from an adult Anteater more often than not who is even more of a specialist than Spinosaurus was.

According to recent research mapusaurus is much larger than that. It’s around 12 metres in length and weighs about 7.5 tons. One things for sure it’s larger than Acrocanthosaurus and tyrannotitan. Mapusaurus used to be believed to be small but it’s well known now that it could grow quite large. Thought you were using the maximum estimates? The largest mapusaurus is not 6 tons
