  • Tyrannosaurus rex vs Giganotosaurus is the ultimate megatheropod rivalry. After Tyrannosaurus rex fought Giganotosaurus in Jurassic World, science explains the true victor of a hypothetical fight in Tyrannosaurus rex vs Giganotosaurus: Battle of Kings. Tyrannosaurus rex size is an important factor, and this video about Tyrannosaurus rex vs Giganotosaurus includes a Tyrannosaurus rex size comparison as well as an in-depth analysis of each animal’s ecology, agility, intelligence, and experience in fighting other megatheropods. New science, including new mass estimations and biomechanical studies, reveal each competitor’s unique evolutionary abilities in this fight to the death: Tyrannosaurus vs Giganotosaurus. This is an educational scientific-reporting take on the Tyrannosaurus rex vs Giganotosaurus battle.

    T.Rex is just built structurally different, its skeleton is so much wider, more robust which houses far more bulkier muscles and that results in more immense strength. Even at same weight the Rex would come out on top due to being a more physically powerful animal. I see this being similar to jaguar vs leopard, the former being more powerfully built, far stronger bite force, bulkier and generally heavier.

    • @Ornitholestes1
      @Ornitholestes1 10 місяців тому +48

      The issue with that analogy (which seems surprisingly commonly used for some reason) is that _Tyrannosaurus_ is not generally heavier than _Giganotosaurus_ , rather the reverse is true. The larger of two _Giganotosaurus_ specimens already rivals the largest in 50 _T. rex_ specimens, quite clearly implying that it is the more likely of the two to be the larger taxon.
      On the other hand, a jaguar isn’t simply a similar-sized but bulkier version of a leopard, it is a consistently larger, heavier animal. Pantanal Jaguars have an average body mass about equivalent to record-sized Leopards of the very largest populations.
      And that size difference between the two heavily colours the perception of the analogy. Of course a jaguar is a much more powerful animal than a leopard, but that is primarily because it is much heavier, not because it is more robust in body shape. I wonder how this scenario would be generally perceived if the Jaguar and Leopard were the same weight, and only differed in proportions, or even if the Jaguar was slightly smaller (as is the case here). In fact, comparing a Jaguar to a lioness would more accurately reflect then proportional and size differences in this scenario. Indeed the Jaguar is more robust, but the lioness is a bit larger overall, including by mass (and muscle-mass).
      Similarly, it would be interesting to observe if people were still as convinced of _T. rex_ being the far larger and more powerful animal if instead of only looking at the two largest specimens, they instead looked at average-sized or even small ones. Using Black Beauty or B-rex to represent the species would be just as valid as using Sue or Scotty. The latter two are far above average size, the former two below it.

      @@Ornitholestes1the supposedly “larger” giga paratype could well be smaller in fact due to non linear scaling of theropod skull and dentary. By that rationale Mor 008 or bunch of T. rex fragments that are larger than sue’s corresponding bones should also be included, we would have way higher weight estimates beyond Scotty and Sue by then. Also specimens like Trix, holotype, Samson, King Kong, Mor 980 and Tristan are easily up there with the gigas. You act like we have enough samples to determine an average for T. rex which is far from the truth, we’re not even close to in fact. We just work with what we have and the fact is we have several T. rexes that are heavier, some by a lot than gigas. And even the gracile morph is bulkier and more robust than the giga.

    • @Ornitholestes1
      @Ornitholestes1 10 місяців тому +30

      @@jinchuriki26 Which _T. rex_ fragments are larger than Sue’s corresponding bones?
      I do not know any.
      The three specimens that get thrown around the most:
      >MOR 008 (maxilla 72 cm, dentary 88 cm, smaller than Sue which has a 86 cm maxilla and 101 cm dentary). The skull is reportedly 1.5 m long, which would be about the same as Sue, but it’s likely reconstructed too long.
      >UCMP 118742: A maxilla that is stubbornly claimed to be some sort of giant, but is definitely smaller than Sue in all measurements (see Larson 2008)
      >UCMP 137538: A large pedal phalanx originally hyped as much larger than Sue based on a length measurement of 13 cm reported by Longrich et al., but this is based on a misunderstood measurement, 13 cm being the maximum length for the specimen, while the measurement for sue commonly compared to was not. See here:
      theworldofanimals.proboards.com/post/24582
      Snively confirmed this in private communication so someone I know a while back: theworldofanimals.proboards.com/post/29848
      So there can be no doubt that none of these specimens have bone measurements matching or exceeding Sue’s, meaning they are smaller using perfectly linear scaling, no assumptions like "this might be a specimen with a proportionately larger dentary/toe/maxilla" needed.
      Any others that I missed?
      If there were solid evidence for any isolated _T. rex_ material being clearly larger than Sue and Scotty, I would have no problem to accept it as such. However decades of reading people on the internet hype up specimens that are actually factually smaller (which in most cases a simple look at the measurements would have confirmed) to ridiculous sizes has made me a bit wary of such claims. But feel free to show me reliable data on any such specimens, if you have any.
      As for _Giganotosaurus_ , such a thing as a "paratype" of _Giganotosaurus_ doesn’t exist. What you are referring to is MUCPv-95, the isolated dentary described by Calvo and Coria 1998. Matter of fact, I am not trusting the size of this specimen lightly, I’ve spent considerable time questioning and attempting to verify its size, including asking both the authors (though only one responded) about the measurement. And indeed the originally reported 8% size difference is very suspect, as nobody is able to explain how exactly this was measured. Hence why I am not using that, and instead relying on measurements that have been verified more recently. In the end of the day, I think the specimen is definitely at least 5 % larger than the same bone in the holotype based on a conservative, morphometric approach, see here: www.deviantart.com/theropod1/journal/What-about-MUCPv-95-954828967
      However Dan Foulkes claims he has inside information including direct measurements of the material, and says it is 6.6% larger by tooth row length (counting the same number of alveoli in both specimens), so that’s both roughly consistent with my estimate, and likely the most reliable figure to use. If you have evidence that this is wrong, feel free to show it.
      Obviously, simply ignoring 50% of the known _Giganotosaurus_ specimens (that just happen to be one single specimen, which just happens to be the larger one) introduces a lot of bias (more so than it would to ignore a few fragmentary _T. rex_ specimens when we have tens of substantial skeletons to work with, yet I’m not even ignoring them, just considering their actual sizes). If you would like to ignore the larger 50% of _Giganotosaurus_ specimens on account of them being too incomplete and unreliable (fair enough as an assumption on its own), then you should do the same for _T. rex_ , and ignore the larger half of all _T. rex_ specimens as well.
      If we had only 2 _T. rex_ specimens, what do you think would be the largest one’s size?
      Or, expressed differently to illustrate what I mean, if you think _T. rex_ is larger just because the largest specimens are (marginally) larger, then why is the smallest _Gigantosaurus_ far larger than the smallest adult _T. rex_ specimens, like B-rex, Black Beauty or Wyrex?
      Just out of curiosity, how many specimens do you believe would be "needed" to calculate an average and how did you determine that number?
      Moreover, why do you think they can be compared at all if you think the samples are insufficient to even calculate a mean?
      If you are concerned about the sample being too small for a reliable average size (I do not think that it is, in my estimation I am getting fairly narrow confidence bands for mean femur length and circumference, within a couple of centimetres, suggesting that the sample is quite sufficient to give a reliable average size), then why doesn’t that apply to comparing any other sizes (such as the largest known specimens)? You are aware that to get a reliable average you don’t need anywhere near as large a sample as to get a reliable maximum size, right? The latter will inevitably increase as the sample size increases, whereas the mean stays the same.

    T. rex also had the huge advantage of binocular vision over Giga. It's wild how, in my lifetime, I've seen all these other huge megatheropods challenge T. rex, yet nothing else even comes close. It blows my mind that the more we study T. rex, we just learn more and more about how insanely adept it was as an apex predator. Leave it to Hell Creek's evolutionary arms race to produce some of the most metal dinosaurs of all time.
    It's a real shame that we have so little evidence for a lot of other megatheropods. I doubt that there are any that could really match T. rex's overwhelmingly tanky and brutish power, but it'd be awesome to see how they were adapted to their own ecosystems. It's been really incredible to see just how much Spinosaurus has changed since I was a kid, here's to hoping we learn more about Giga as well!

      Giganotosaurus doesn’t NEED to be built for physical exchanges.
      “Hit and run” predators don’t actually hunt the way most people think they do. They don’t bite prey and then just wait and do nothing while the prey slowly dies; they either try to kill/disable the prey immediately with that bite, or (in cases where the prey is very large), bite and and again rather than just sit back and wait after the first bite. So Giganotosaurus was built to kill quickly; it wasn’t a slow, inefficient killer like most people assume based on false information. It’s just as capable of deciding the battle in a single strike.
      I do agree that if Tyrannosaurus bites first it will get the decisive upper hand (being able to maintain its death grip and drag the more lightly built Giga around for as long as it wants), but this is assuming it can bite first, especially considering that Giganotosaurus’s neck was significantly more flexible.

      You know what's better than just "looking at their skull"? Actually testing them via scanning the inner structure using adavced scanners and applying modified perimetry to them to actually simulate vision.
      Yeah,they already did that in 2006,and what they found out was not only they have a relatively poor binocular visions,akin to those of crocs(who are not exactly known for their excellent eyesights)But they also have a particular Blindspot RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR SNOUTS,which makes sciencetists to suggest that they often have to held their head downward around 40 degrees to actually see clearly.

    The whole issue of this fight is that animals like rex are designed to kill big things NOW, while animals like giga are designed to kill big things *soon.*
    This is essentially pitting an alligator against an equally sized komodo dragon. One is designed to crush your bones and skull, and one is desined to rip your blood out of your body somewhat slowly with venom and open wounds.

    Comparison of Giganotosaurus carolinii and Tyrannosaurus rex using the most reliable specimens.
    1 tonne = 1000 kilograms
    "Big" means mass
    Height is measured at the hip
    ​Tyrannosaurus rex (FHMN PR 2081 - "Sue")
    Length - 12.39 meters
    Height (hip) - 3.8 meters
    Total height - 4.32 metrs
    Weight - 10 tonnes
    (RSNM P2523.8 - "Scotty" is estimated between 10,400 to 11,000 kg. Tyrannosaurus' build is the only theropod type that can support that much weight.)
    Giganotosaurus carolinii (Mucpv-Ch1- holotype)
    Length- 12.57 meters
    Height (hip) - 3.5 meters
    Total height - 3.76 meters
    Weight - 7.8 - 8.8 tonnes
    (Paratype is estimated at 9.6 tonnes but the specimen is known from an incomplete dentary. A new estimate says 10.4 tonnes but is largly unreliable due to it being from an incomplete dentary.)
    Tyrannosaurus rex is the biggest theropod and by extension the biggest fully terrestrial carnivore ever to walk the Earth.
    Tyrannosaurus rex was also the smartest out of all large theropods, as smart as a baboon, or even a chimpanzee:
    www.google.com/amp/s/www.sciencefocus.com/nature/inside-the-mind-of-a-dinosaur-2/amp/
    While having impeccable eyesight better than a hawk and incredible smell, Tyrannosaurus had the strongest bite of any fully terrestrial animal ever, 6 tonnes. The bulk and amount of muscle of T. rex gives it strength and the large ilia gives Tyrannosaurus agility over G. carolinii.
    T. rex wins this one.

    Since Dominion came out Giganotosaurus has been gaining a lot more traction as being the largest known terrestrial carnivore, but I want to emphasize that this is based on fragmentary material which has a wide margin of error. Dan Folkes himself even stated this. There are also other experts that have different mass estimates using the same method of GDI, which has yielded different results ranging from 6.6 to 8.2 tonnes. The main takeaway here is that while Giganotosaurus was an enormous animal, it at the very least rivals Tyrannosaurus in size and may potentially be bigger, but that’s not absolute at this time.

One study that looked at maximum speed ranges for all animals on earth based on mass (Gunther 2021?) and I was able to take the formula applied and studied several extant animals, focusing on bipeds, to determine physiological markers that improve running speed. The Tyrannosaur had a longer total leg, larger caudofemoralis (ref YDAW Giganotosaurus that Giga had a reduced 4th trocanter ((?)) even relative to other charcaradontids), shorter and stockier femur (when viewing the fastest biped ever, the Ostrich, the femur is very short and thick as long femurs increase rotational inertia and cannot be retracted during movement the way lower leg and footbones can), and importantly an arctometatarsalian foot (only seen in tyrannosaurids from Suskytyrannus onwards, troodontids, and ornithomimisaurs). Even with a heavier skull to slow it down, when I looked at Giga and Rex at the 8.4t range I came up with ~12.3mph for Giga and ~14.7mph for Rex IIRC, I can edit this comment later once I verify (Edit-12.4 for 8.4t Giga, 14.5 for 8.4t Rex, 11.9 and 13.6 if both scaled to 10.4t) . Due to the difference in builds, a 10.4 Giga would be incredibly long, but would lack much of the motive power to keep up with a 10.4ton Rex.

    Great video, I do agree with the outcome of the fight. I guess the issue is that when it comes to t-rex most people just assume it’s the best cause of its size. Which is why anytime another large predator is discovered it immediately gets touted as t-rex rival. But it seems that size and power is just the beginning of the story as to why r-rex is the king. When everything is taken into account it just blows other carnivores out the water.
    What are your thoughts on the theory that Acrocanthosaurus back hump was packed with muscle like a bison or bear rather than just thin spines for display? If so could this make it the most powerful of the carcharodontids even more so then giga? Maybe a topic for a future video? Unless you’ve already talked about this.

    perhaps the point of gig not fighting other theropods as musch as t-rex could be explained that we don't have nearly as many giga specimens as we do t-rex specimens, so we could find giga fossils with damage from other gigas, and the point about t-rex's skull having ramming capability, while plausible but the gig also could have rammed, as many paleontologists believe that the pronounced chin of the giganotosaur was to absorb large impacts, so a giga's bite could have possibly acted as a ram as well as shearing flash off a prey.

On top of that, there is plenty of evidence that suggests that T-rexes fought against each other, so they were clearly equipped with the skills to take down their competition, and were also capable of taking down two different kinds of herbivores that had amongst the best defences of any animal in animal history. this shows how versatile t-rex really was when it came to fighting.

    The T-Rex skull thickness makes for an interesting curveball in the whole 'Trike would stab Rexy' debate. If T-Rex had a skull comparable to Trike (able to withstand 50kN), then it might have just put its head forward in battle the same as trikes did when jousting. So now Rexy can joust head-first, bob and weave like a Trike and its ball-joint neck and deliver a killer bite while shrugging off horn strikes (50kN bites and horn strikes to the face being compared here).
    Basically everything the prey could do, the predator could do and then some. Might have been evolutionary since a strong face is what Trike brought.

    Funnily enough, the best thing a giga to do to win against a T. Rex in a one-on-one fight would be the Luigi method of doing absolutely nothing since the T. Rex would die of old age long before the Giga would...and then it would have a big carcass to scavenge from. Don't quote me on this, but I did hear that Giganotosaurus had a longer lifespan than Tyrannosaurus due to growing up much slower.

  • @paleospino4956
    @paleospino4956 10 місяців тому +26

    Interesting matchup!
    Let’s see what each contestant has over the other…
    Tyrannosaurus Rex:
    Strength: Both animals were similarly sized but the T. Rex was much chonkier compared to the slimmer Giga, on top of that the Rex was slightly bigger.
    Intelligence: There is a lot of evidence to support that the T. Rex was an extremely intelligent and tactical animal, not that the Giga is dumb but the Rex gets the edge here.
    Bite: The T. Rex had the strongest bite out of any terrestrial animal ever! Whilst the Giga had serrated teeth that allowed it to inflict a lot of damage and blood loss, but the Rex will probably be able to inflict much more damage much quicker.
    Giganatosaurus:
    Speed: The Giga is much slimmer which allowed it to be much quicker and nimbler.
    Other factors:
    The Giga had longer arms and a longer skull which possibly gives it an advantage. The T. Rex had good forward facing eyes with binocular vision, whilst the Giga had eyes on each side of its skull giving it the disadvantage. Each animal were extremely agile, the T.Rex could spin and turn with ease, whilst the Giga was much quicker.
    Each animals also had vastly different “biting styles” The T. Rex had a bone crushing bite allowing it to inflict a lots of damage, whilst the Giga had serrated teeth that could slice off chunks of meat, causing lots of blood loss.
    Each animal also possibly had different fighting styles as well.
    So who’s gonna win?
    In my opinion I think that the T. Rex would win most of the time as it was simply too big, too strong, and had a too devastating bite.
    But I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!

    • @sailboat908
      @sailboat908 10 місяців тому +6

      Hard to say if Giga was quicker...apparently its prey were sauropods, so they might not have needed speed.
      T.Rex had leg and foot anatomy indicating running speed, so it is presumed that at least the juveniles were fast runners.
      You make a good point regarding teeth and bite style. My assumption would be that, like certain boxing matches, Giga would score a lot of points early, cutting up T. Rex , and be "ahead" until eventually T. Rex lands that bone-crushing bite...at which point it would be all over but the screaming.
      There's no reason to assume Rex would bite, let go, and dart back like in the movies. With that bite, and the skull and teeth being reinforced to withstand great stress, a "bite and hold on until the kill is secured" strategy makes sense.
      In the annoying Jurrassic Park fight, Rex gets ahold of Giga's snout at one point and then...lets go, and Giga isn't even bleeding. Dammit, they weren't exhibiting courting behavior! Rex should have been depicted as holding on until Giga's skull collapsed.

    4:38 At a similar body weight I highly doubt that Giga would be faster. Because (above a ton or so) body weight is the primary limiting factor of speed, they would be fairly equal (Dececchi, 2020). But T. rex had much bigger hip and leg muscle attachment areas (Snively, 2019) and very well-developed m. caudofemoralis longus attachements [to my knowledge these are quite underdeveloped in carcharodontosaurids, though i cant cite a reference off the top of my head, so take this with a pinch of salt], longer legs (especially distal leg elements) and a running adapted metatarsus inherited from its cursorial ancestors. So at a similar weigh T. rex might have had a slight edge regarding top speed (though again, not by much at that weight).

    On intelligence..
    Yes, the t-rex brain is thought to be very neuron dense. But there is another difference between it and the brains of other dinosaurs, especially dinosaurs which existed earlier in the geologic record. And the difference is between the structure. Many dinosaurs, especially the earlier dinosaurs, had brains that were mush more "lizard like" while later dinosaurs like t-rex and the dromaeosaurs had brains that were essentially the same structure as birds. And this structural difference is credited as being the largest contributing factor towards intelligence. That is not to say that lizard brains can't be intelligent, as anybody with a pet monitor lizard can attest, but birds are on a whole different level of intelligence. And I am pretty sure giganotosaurus had the lizard like brain rather than the bird like brain.
