MemberCompsognathusJun-28-2013 8:53 AMAs a comparison possibly in real life, say it takes 8 dromeasaurus to take down a forty foot long edmontosaurus that is 20 feet tall and 4 tons, that would be saying 8 tyrannosaurus could take down an edmontosaurus that is 260 feet long and 96 feet tall and nearly a 1000 tons. It just can't happen for the T. rex.
The Dromeasaurs are very smart, even low levels of problem solving smart. There is only one herbivore that a dromeasaur couldn't kill, the sauropods. And maybe a bunch of Utahraptors banded together to take down a 50 foot Sonorasaurus. It would take a while to kill, but it is like giganautosaurus vs. argentinasaurus. T. rex kills animals its size or smaller. Spino might kill a larger animal, but will proboly settle for ouranosaurus. The allosaurs take on animals much larger than themself, but they aren't very smart. The raptors were really the main threat to people in the film, especially the second. You guys don't have to agree with me, but going size wise comparing, raptors took on much larger animals compared to their own size.

The first part said "everyone's so focused on T. rex and Spino that they are forgetting the true villain, the raptors. T. rex a d Spino had their kills in their respective movies, but the raptors were complete slaughterers. "

MemberTyrannosaurus RexJun-28-2013 9:46 AMThe Raptors were the most deadly for the obvious reason of stealth. They are small, light, agile, and fast. The T-Rex and Spino were big, slow, and heavy. The Raptors could hide in tall grass and dark corners. Rex and Spino however, could not hide so easily, and the their footsteps would be pretty loud and give a warning.

MemberCompsognathusJun-28-2013 10:18 AMI'd almost bet that if there was a raptor part of the jurassic park fan ratio, it would be the clear winner. No one here do not like the raptors.

MemberCompsognathusJun-28-2013 2:34 PMI don't think you are giving Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus their due credit. They are some of the largest land carnivores ever, both are contenders for the title. That said, raptors are definetly some of the nastiest dinosaurs pound for pound. T-rex was smart too and I don't think Spino was necessarily "dumb" either. Of course they are not raptor smart though. In the long run, I would rather be attacked by a Tyrannosaurus or Spinosaurus than a pack of raptors. Rex/Spino would be quick and painless relatively speaking. Raptors would be slow and agonizing.
The Heavy Artilery= Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus
The Assassains= The Raptors

MemberCompsognathusJun-28-2013 2:44 PMI think raptors would be much more of a threat in Jurassic Park 4. Yes T. rex and Spino are huge, but if you where driving a car, you'd be safe. Raptors would be running almost equal. And more, you only have to run into thick jungle, like in jp3, your home free. Your still dead if there are raptors. It's the small things that kill ya.

MemberCompsognathusJun-28-2013 3:04 PMI totally get what you mean. Raptors are deadly, well they were, but so are the big carnivores. If you are being chased by a Rex/Spino and they chase you to a thick jungle and you realize there is a pack of raptors in there, you are screwed.
Make your choice-
Death by a thousand teeth and a hundred claws or death by giant hand claws/bone crushing bite?

MemberCompsognathusJun-28-2013 3:11 PMI'd run to the big carnivore and say "eat me" and hope the raptors don't get to me first.

MemberCompsognathusJun-28-2013 3:14 PMSame here, haha. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure which is scarier, real Velociraptors or the JP ones? Sure the JP ones were bigger and scarier looking, but a bunch of those real ones would not be pretty. I don't care if they got the feathers of a peacock or the size of a labrador, 80, 2 inch teeth and a pair of sickle claws over 3 inches long would not be fun. Then multiply that by 10! Just sayin, maybe the real Velociraptors are a little underrated.

MemberCompsognathusJun-28-2013 4:07 PMI was really talking about dromeasaurus themselves. The race is perfect to kill almost anything, just nick the right raptor.

MemberCompsognathusJun-28-2013 4:39 PMI had a dream I got chased by velociraptors. It was the scariest feeling ever knowing I had no chance of escape lol

MemberCompsognathusJun-28-2013 4:58 PMDream, more like nightmare. And I've been their too.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexJun-28-2013 5:31 PMIf it was one Rex/Spino chasing you, obviously you would go where it can't. If you were to run into a Velociraptor, it depends on how many. If it's only 1 or 2, you have a chance to fight (real life, not JP raptors). Any more though, might as well choose death by King/Pharaoh (if you've read FBR 3, you know what I mean).

MemberCompsognathusJun-28-2013 5:40 PMIt will be hard to come across just one raptor, sorry to say this, but your dead as Microraptor.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexJun-28-2013 6:05 PMI know. Have you ever seen that one episode of dinosaur planet where the Velociraptor's pack got killed? It is unlikely, but anything is possible.

MemberCompsognathusJun-28-2013 6:37 PMIf you mean White Tip's, the raptor from Dinosaur Planet, original pack, then I think it is actually very possible. It was wiped out by a rival pack. Almost like wolf pack warfare. If you mean her second pack which was killed by a sand dune collapsing, then it's less likely because that's a "freak" event. However, it could still happen.
