NoobMember0 XPJun-06-2013 4:17 AMWelcome ladies and gentleman, to my daily DinoFight. I always appreciate my loyal readers, but for those of you who are new, every day I pit two of the most formidable dinosaurs to ever exist against one another in a fight to the death (most of the time).
Medium division, round 1, fight 1: Carnotaurus vs Baryonyx
Carnotaurus
[img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120626211237/dinosaurs/images/e/ef/Carnotaurus_tlw.png[/img]
Height: 11 feet
Length: 30 feet
Weight: 2.5 tons
Speed: 33 mph
Diet: Sauropods, various other herbivores
Weapons: Bite, speed, chameleon-like skin
Description: The well known Carnotaurus was a highly specialized hunter. It had very tiny functionless forelimbs, even smaller than T-Rex's. To make up for its vestigial arms, it had long, lean muscular legs that were specialized for speed along with an almost horizontal body, and the speed would have used for chasing sauropods in pairs or trios. Their skull was also quite interesting. It wasn't long and tapering like most theropods', but short and deep, almost square, probably specialized for snapping shut on the necks of sauropods. Perhaps the most interesting and well known feature of Carnotaurus were its horns. They were 6 inch bone crests above its eyes that were sheathed in keratin in life, making them much longer and scarier. They are thought by most to be useless in combat, but taking in to consideration the thick and powerful neck of Carnotaurus, they might have been used for stabbing prey or rivals. Below them were forward angled eyes, which gave Carnotaurus exceptional depth perception. Carnotaurus would have a gruesome appearance beyond its horns, with wrinkled skin covered in rows of spikes and knobs. Perhaps the scariest predatory aspect of the Carnotaurus was the chameleon mutation in its DNA by InGen, making it able to hunt prey much larger than it normally would have with its unusual ambush technique.
Baryonyx
[img]http://www.badcoe.com/images/baryonyx.jpg[/img]
Height: 12.5 feet
Length: 30+ feet
Weight: 3 tons
Speed: 18 mph
Diet: Fish, smaller dinosaurs, pterosaurs
Weapons: Claws, bite
Description: Baryonyx had long, narrow jaws full of conical teeth. It had 96 of them, as a matter of fact. Twice as many as T-Rex. The teeth had small serrations on them, giving it a little slicing ability. Its jaws were relatively weak, so the real weapon was the claws. At over nine inches long, they acted as gaffs to stab fish, but they could also be used on dinosaurs. They were slashing tools as well. Although not nearly as large as its cousin, Spinosaurus, Baryonyx reached respectable sizes. The only skeleton found was in Europe, unusual since most Spinosaurids lived in South America and Africa, but also unusually, the skeleton was 70% complete, giving scientists a pretty accurate size of 31 feet. Upon further research, it was found that the fossils belonged to a sub-adult. Not a juvenile, but not full grown. The specimen could have reached 35 or more feet, making it comparible in size to its close cousin, Suchomimus. An interesting speculation about Spinosaurus was that InGen created Spinosaurus by mistake, thinking the DNA belonged to a Baryonyx, which they had also cloned. This is conceivable, since juvenile Spinosaurus had no sail, and the juvenile would have looked almost identical to a Baryonyx, with only small differences like skull shape.
FIGHT!
A 33 foot Baryonyx wades up a shallow river on Isla Sorna, his eyes scanning the water for fish. He comes to a large, beautiful crystal clear pool in the middle of a green, moss and plant covered jungle, with a waterfall flowing into it. He gazes into the water, perfectly still. A large Coelacanth swims around his legs and in the blink of an eye, he spears it with his claws. He pulls it out of the water and drops it on the almost alienly green ground. He bites into the fish, enjoying his large catch, his legs still submerged in the pool.
Meanwhile, a Carnotaurus hides among the trees. His skin is brown and green to blend with the vine and moss strewn forest. He watches the Baryonyx that has intruded on his territory. He is fine with the Baryonyx in the water, but watches to keep the Baryonyx off of his land, where he ambushes the herbivores that drink from the watering hole. Just as he turns his head, dismissing the idea of the Baryonyx stepping out of the water, it does.
It walks towards the Carnotaurus' position, and he immediately reacts, roaring at the intruding Baryonyx. Baryonyx instinctively roars back, but then looks around, confused as to where the roar came from. What puzzles him further is the pair of horns, eyes and teeth running at him. The Carnotaurus headbutts the chest of the Baryonyx, knocking him back into the pool. As he lifts his head out of the water, bewildered, the Carnotaurus takes his camouflage off, revealing himself and roaring again. The Baryonyx rushes forwards and locks his jaws on the Carnotaurus' head, pulling him into the water. The Carnotaurus stands up in the water, which is slightly above his knees, and attacks the Baryonyx with a bite to the snout. The Baryonyx slashes at the face of the Carnotaurus with his giant claws, narrowly missing him. The Carnotaurus lets go and ducks into the water, disappearing. He blends in with the pebbles and sand. The Baryonyx looks around, unable to see the giant chameleon. Suddenly, teeth pierce his arm and pull down. He slashes with his other arm, drawing blood from the Carnotaurus' face. The Carnotaurus tries to blend in again, but his blood clouds the water and makes him visible. The Baryonyx gets on land and roars at the growing blood cloud in the water. The Carnotaurus pops out of the bloody water, his skin vivid crimson, and roars at the Baryonyx. The Baryonyx is taken aback by the terrifying sight, stumbling backwards in an attempt to run. The Carnotaurus takes advantage, standing over the Baryonyx and attempting to bite him. The Baryonyx, no longer alarmed now that the Carnotaurus is back to his normal color, manages to fight free. He slashes at the Carnotaurus, his claws tearing even the thick armor of the Carnotaurus. Baryonyx gets on all fours for a moment to rest while Carnotaurus rests as well. Baryonyx makes the first move and charges the Carnotaurus, attempting to take advantage, but is momentarily hypnotized by the rapidly changing colors of Carnotaurus. Having learned from his mistakes, however, he shakes it off and slams into the Carnotaurus. Carno falls over with a thud, his weight fracturing a couple ribs. Baryonyx stands over him, biting his neck with his narrow jaws. The thick, armored neck of the Carnotaurus is hardly pierced, and when the Baryonyx lets go for a moment, Carnotaurus gives him a headbutt from Jurassic hell. Dazed, he swerves and falls, while the thick skulled Carnotaurus carefully rolls a little to the side and stands up. He shakes his head, a little dizzy, but still in better condition than the Baryonyx. It stands an all fours, teetering, before taking a few staggered steps and standing up with a splitting headache. Carnotaurus turns himself green and crouches on the mossy ground, and as the Baryonyx turns, his vision still a little fuzzy and black around the edges, the Carnotaurus sprints forwards and rams him again. Too dizzy to fight, the larger Baryonyx blacks out before the Carnotaurus bites into his spine. The Carnotaurus eats his meal happily, but not before letting out a victorious roar that echoes through the his domain.
WINNER: CARNOTAURUS

The Baryonyx put up a good fight, but the Carnotaurus was simply a better adapted predator. Carnotaurus killed sauropods like Amargasaurus, while Baryonyx ate fish and small prey. Sure, fish fought back, but they certainly weren't capable of killing you if you let your guard down for even a second like sauropods. Carnotaurus' 25 million years of evolution payed off, resulting in speed, intelligence and durability. Not to mention the chameleon skin gene from InGen. The only advantages Baryonyx had were the claws and size. Even then, the claws couldn't easily penetrate the thick skin of Carnotaurus and not much could prevent it from disappearing.
Odds: 70-30

NoobMember0 XPJun-06-2013 11:01 AMAwesome fight! The part where Baryonyx is befuddled by the claws, teeth, and horns charging for him made me laugh! Nice touch of humor, action, and unbiased writing. Great job!"Either way, you probably won't get off this island alive."

NoobMember0 XPJun-06-2013 3:42 PMOh yeah. Love this fight. I think that it rivals his Rex vs Spino fights in terms of awesomeness.
NoobMember0 XPJun-06-2013 3:45 PMWell of course it does it has Carnotaurus. This is sort of like a scaled down tyrannosaurus vs spinosaurus.
NoobMember0 XPJun-06-2013 3:49 PMExcept Spino would win and Rex doesn't have chameleon skin.TEAM SPINO!!!
NoobMember0 XPJun-06-2013 3:50 PMThat's one way to look at it. No offense to Spino fans, but notice who won. Just sayin ;)"Men like me don't start the wars. We just die in them. We've always died in them, and we always will. We don't expect any praise for it, no parades. No one knows our names."

LegendMember6270 XPJun-07-2013 1:45 PMThis was a good fight.
Rex Killer
I personally think that a fight between T-Rex and Spino would be from about 50-50 to 60-40 in Rex's favour. I just think that because it had the stronger bite force, it had millions of years of evolution over Spino, and it looks just plain more strongly built.Jack of all trades. Master of none
NoobMember0 XPMar-10-2014 7:28 PMDidn't carnotaurus have a lighty built skull? And I belive that even baryonyx had a stronger bite. Carnotaurus had a very weak bite compared to other abelisaurids on the other hand fantastic fight though I was a bit sad baryonyx lost I'm new on the website but i've read many fights.
