Judging from the fossils of giant carnivorous dinosaurs recently discovered by scientists, Tyrannosaurus rex's position as the "king of dinosaurs" has been greatly challenged. There are actually carnivorous dinosaurs that are larger and more terrifying than Tyrannosaurus rex. Now let’s rank the ten carnivorous dinosaur bosses in the dinosaur world based on the latest archaeological exploration.
1. Spinosaurus
The most powerful carnivorous dinosaur
Spinosaurus means "thorny lizard" and is a type of large theropod carnivorous dragon. Its subspecies Spinosaurus aegypti is the largest carnivorous dinosaur known to date, with a body length of 12 to 20 meters and a hip height of 270 to 400 centimeters. , weighing 4 to 26 tons, lived in North Africa during the Cretaceous period, about 114 million years ago to 65 million years ago. The functions of the sail on the back of Spinosaurus are likely to include regulating body temperature, storing fat energy, dissipating heat, attracting the opposite sex, threatening opponents, attracting prey, etc.
2. Tyrannosaurus Rex
The second most powerful carnivorous dinosaur
Tyrannosaurus Rex, also known as Tyrannosaurus Rex, lived at the end of the Cretaceous Period, about 68.5 million to 65 million years ago. It was one of the last non-avian dinosaur species before the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event. one. The fossils are distributed in the United States and Canada in North America and were one of the last dinosaurs to become extinct. The bite force is generally 90,000 to 120,000 Newtons, and the maximum at the end of the mouth is about 200,000 Newtons. It is also the strongest carnivorous dinosaur.
3. Savage Dragon
The third most powerful carnivorous dinosaur
Barbarosaurus, also called Barbarian dragon and Barbarian king, is a relative of the famous Megalosaurus (Megalodon) and belongs to the Megalosauridae subfamily of the theropod Megalosauridae. Barbarus lived in the late Jurassic, the Kimmeridgian stage 153 million years ago; it was one of the strongest and largest theropods and carnivorous dinosaurs in the Jurassic, and the largest carnivorous dinosaur found in Europe. It is also known as the "Jurassic Tyrannosaurus" because it has a very similar appearance and body shape to Tyrannosaurus Rex, a ferocious and brutal temperament as well as its unshakable top dominance.
4. Carcharodontosaurus
The fourth most powerful carnivorous dinosaur
Carcharodontosaurus, also known as Paradontodon, whose name means "lizard like a man-eating shark", belongs to the theropod suborder Carcharodontidae and lived from the middle to late Cretaceous period from 100 million to 93 million years ago. It is the Albian to Turonian stages of the Cretaceous. Carcharodontosaurus is one of the largest theropods and carnivorous dinosaurs discovered so far, and is one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs. The characteristic is that the teeth are very similar to shark teeth and are the sharpest among all carnivorous dragons.
5. Mapron
The fifth most powerful carnivorous dinosaur
Mapusaurus (genus name: Mapusaurus) means "earth lizard". It is a giant carnivorous dinosaur, smaller than Spinosaurus, but currently the third largest carnivorous dinosaur. It lived in Argentina during the Late Cretaceous, with about 87 million people. Coniacian stage years ago. Maposaurus is the third largest known carnivorous dinosaur and the largest among the Allosaurus, Carcharodontosauridae, and South American carnivorous dinosaurs.
6. Giganotosaurus
The sixth most powerful carnivorous dinosaur
Giganotosaurus is the largest allosaur superfamily and carnosaurian dinosaur, and the second largest carnivorous dinosaur and terrestrial carnivore in history. Its Latin scientific name Giganotosaurus means "giant southern reptile". It has a terrible bite force, a fast tearing speed, and thin teeth as sharp as a table knife. Among land animals, its bite force is only smaller than that of Tyrannosaurus rex, making it the second most powerful land animal.
7. Kui Zhou Long
The seventh most powerful carnivorous dinosaur
The name Kuizhousaurus means "tyrant giant", with a maximum body length of nearly 13.5 meters and a maximum weight of 9.3 tons. Its size is second only to Spinosaurus, Tyrannosaurus rex, Barbarus, Carcharodontosaurus, Maposaurus, and Giganotosaurus. It is the seventh largest carnivorous dinosaur. Kuizhousaurus is distributed in Argentina. It is one of the earliest carcharodontosaurs and lived in the early Cretaceous.
8. Lizardosaurus
The eighth most powerful carnivorous dinosaur
Sauroporax belongs to the theropod family Allosauridae and is a close relative of Allosaurus. It is a very large theropod carnivorous dinosaur that lived in the late Jurassic period and started about 151-145 million years ago. Moridian to Tithonian, it was also one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs in the Jurassic. Saurophagosaurus was also the largest Allosaur superfamily in the Jurassic.
9. Siyatsaurus
The ninth most powerful carnivorous dinosaur
Siatsosaurus is a giant carnivorous dinosaur living in the United States. It lived in the mid-to-late Cretaceous period and lived in the Cenomanian stage of the Cretaceous from 99 million to 93 million years ago. It is the largest dinosaur discovered so far. One of the theropods and carnivorous dinosaurs, it is also one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs in North America. It is also known as Man-eating Dragon and Man-eating Monster Dragon. It is the ninth largest carnivorous dinosaur. According to research, the main prey of Siyatsaurus included medium to large sauropod dinosaurs.
10. Tarbosaurus
The tenth most powerful carnivorous dinosaur
Tarbosaurus means "fearful lizard" and is a large theropod dinosaur belonging to the superfamily Tyrannosaurus. A distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex. Tarbosaurus lived in Mongolia and China in Asia during the Late Cretaceous, about 74 to 70 million years ago. Tarbosaurus was at the top of the food chain and was an apex predator that probably fed on larger dinosaurs.
