Laut der Mehrheit der heutigen Forscher war der Spinosaurus deutlich größer als ein Trex, und einige andere Theropoden ein wenig.
Tyrannosaurus was for many decades the largest theropod and best-known to the general public. Since its discovery, however, a number of other giant carnivorous dinosaurs have been described, including Spinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, and Giganotosaurus. The original Spinosaurus specimens (as well as newer fossils described in 2006) support the idea that Spinosaurus is larger than Tyrannosaurus, showing that Spinosaurus was possibly 6 meters longer and at least 1 metric ton heavier than Tyrannosaurus.

Ich schau inzwischen, dass ich bei risikobehafteteren Inseln oder Gehegen die Anzahl der Fleischfresser einfach niedrig halte... ist zwar dann optisch nicht immer ganz so hübsch, aber im Falle einer Katastrophe sind 3 Raptoren schneller wieder eingefangen als ein großes Rudel.
