Tyrannosaurus Rex vs. Nanotyrannus

Jurassic Fight Club shows us, what would go down when two Tyrannosaurs' parents leave their two juvenile young to fend for themselves while they go hunt. Even when you're at top of the foodchain, you're not always the predetor.

Perfect example of how nothing is more dangerous than a mother protecting her young

[@TurkeyHoward1007]

Remember when the baby called for help I think they waited too long if the baby would’ve called for help when the nannotyrannous first came the mother would’ve just killed it and she wouldn’t have lost any babies

[@TurkeyHoward1007]

They tried to fight it by their self and that wasn’t smart plus that one baby tried to charge it and that wasn’t smart either they should’ve stayed together and called for help right away as soon as the nannotyrannous showed up

[@TurkeyHoward1007]

Alarm sounded 4:05 mom presents 5:49 Mom Arrives 6:04 6:41 mommy very Angry

[@TurkeyHoward1007]

Mom only took 2 minutes that fought it that long they should have stayed together sound the alarm 🚨 and staying by each other and if they could have done that for 2 minutes mom would have done the work

[@TurkeyHoward1007]

The baby was killed 56 seconds before mom got there another 56 seconds earlier she would have 2 babies in stead of one what the baby T-Rex should’ve done instead of biting the nannotyrannous it should’ve got up because it was behind the nannotyrannous And ran around the other side, really fast and regroup with the other baby T-Rex Mom would’ve showed up 56 seconds later and then both babies would be safe

[@seannightingale77]

Jack Horner has an an interesting TED talk where he says that nanotyrannus was just a juvenile t-rex

[@RedDragon838287]

I saw his same lecture and I thought that it was really interesting. "Scientists have egos" haha!

[@MaximumPrime]

An indeed it is

[@RedShiftedDollar]

@@MaximumPrime Except Nanotyrannus has larger arm bones. How do you explain those bones shrinking as the animal aged into a full size adult?

[@99thJediWarrior]

Like Mother, Like Son! Don't mess with T-Rex!

[@itsdre9x9]

Jack Horner, a famous paleontologist (also was involved with the Jurassic Park films) did extensive research and discovered that Nanotyrannus is actually a sub-adult Tyrannosaurus. Nanotyrannus itself never actually existed. He discovered that many dinosaurs are actually just 1 species and not a variety.

[@Geniusprimate]

Nanotyrannus is still real

[@silvianoganas]

Is that Jurassic fight club?

[@CinnamonBob]

Looking at this in 2024 i just realized how much of this is so wrong compared to our current understanding of the two animals on screen

[@marclabhart1779]

the t.rex looks so awesome

[@itsdre9x9]

He means if an animal like a Cheetah heard/felt a loud thumping on the ground and sensed it was danger, they would flee.

[@zerginfestorhots6132]

That, and it's relative, Baryonyx, which is quite similar to Spinosaurus in shape, its diet mostly consist of fish because of the long snout, smooth cone-like teeth to trap fish within its jaws, along with the long claws to basically hook onto any fish that wonders by. Sure, they were big, but they were designed for something else, which makes them unique.

1:44 this documentary is a part of my childhood❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@evolution031680]

This is just a theory that's disputed by other paleontologists, not a discovery. The nanotyrannus had two more teeth, a differently shaped braincase, and a slightly different jaw structure, which points to two different species.

[@mou3573]

if nano is a juvenile rex, the shape of its brain the position of its brain in the skullwould change, and that stuff doesn't happen. ask dinosaur george, he'll say the same thing as me

[@Geniusprimate]

The jfc juvenile t rex is accurate

[@Saberrex1]

Perhaps, perhaps not. A new and very complete specimen of what looks like a full grown Nanotyrannus measuring about 30 feet long was just found in Montana. it was found alongside a gigantic hornless chasmosaurine ceratopsian as big as than Triceratops. both animals seemed to have killed each other; the Nanotyrannus had its skull smashed in, and teeth from the predator were found in the chasmosaur's neck bones. a video's here on youtube about it too. its called Montana's Dueling Dinosaurs.

[@FEdelasJONSEnjoyer]

Drake as a dinosaur:

[@itsdre9x9]

I believe in some cases they did. When they were juvenilles they probably did, but when they kids are young I doubt they'd let them venture off.

[@mou3573]

are you saying nano would run from cheetahs, or cheetahs would run from rex?

[@jakemiketta3868]

I feel bad that one of the babies 👶 got killed

[@PlanetZoidstar]

You'd think after that first hit, the Nanotyrannus would have run.

[@jonathannavarro1350]

Why did the nano try to fight a t rex?

[@Geniusprimate]

Jfc is the most accurate documentary I ever seen and it will always will be in my heart

[@dylancraig4002]

Very true. I think the Spinosaurus' was successful in its life by hunting smaller animals but, Its massive size increased the thickness of its bones to make it an APEX predator of its day. The Tyrannosaurus has the thicker teeth designed for crushing and gripping prey. The Spinosaurus' diet has nothing to do with the fight over who would win between Trex and itself. It has massive claws on the hands too. But its teeth may bite and kill if it was truly wanting to kill something.

[@itsdre9x9]

Yes, I'd say it's more of a theory, but it seems 100% true. Look in the description for the link I just posted. It's the video in which Jack explains it.

[@BeckEatsStuff]

well said man, jane the juvenile tyrannosaurus is the same species not seperate like some think.

[@rubenmanssens]

Yeah, the t rex is bigger and it has lost more teeth due to aging.

[@johndoe-zb1kt]

i agree paleontologist bob bakker checked the bones in the nano tyranos and found out that the brain is shaped differently with a different position not to mention the bones were very knit = full grown animal....a babies bones will potentiually bend more so than an adults meaning bones are still growing and as the baby grows the bones get thicker and more stiff....the nano specimen had very tightly knit bones he was an adult.I believe jack horner's views apply to some but not all species

[@krisen316]

there are glaring illogical errors and assumptions in this "story" how could Nano remain and take on a full grown t-rex!!?? that's like a lion taking on an elephant and the rex seems to initially have the nano's head in its mouth but it miraculously escapes from a grip leveraged with 3 tons bite force??

[@sabrinaabdulahi5607]

There is no error.

[@alyssajones7512]

My mom is scarier.

[@willshister]

i love this video i have watched it so many times lol

[@Dannith99]

The T-Rex is the king

[@evolution031680]

Lol--I stand corrected, sir.

[@dylancraig4002]

REALLY!? A Liopluradon is not even a dinosaur. It did not even live in tjhe age of the dinosaurs.

[@mikailyilmaz9273]

I love this vid this is my 7 time watching it

[@abdulmutaal7236]

Even if mother t Rex didn't came baby could handle himself by running

[@mou3573]

one of them is the brain shape

[@jetfrench7850]

a nanotyrannus is a baby trex

[@Geniusprimate]

The jfc juvenile t rex is accurate

9:52 female t-rex:WHAT NOW BITCH

[@yahiraucapina242]

Omg you saw how sweet enjoy the other litte t-rex was dying he used his little enegery to bite the ******* ******* bitc** omg but the t-rex showed a lesson

[@yumihikiaru7760]

She's bigger and 3 times scarier

[@shivajipandit158]

this is young t-rex then t-rex was lose, nanotyrano fight with old and dangourus tyrannosaurus rex then t rex was win

[@jackallen5238]

nanotyrannus is the same size as the baby t rex

[@dylancraig4002]

Yah it is but the Spinosaurus was a bigger predator and a spinosaurus would tear a T-rex apart.

[@elmehdi488]

Me too I watched so many

[@johndoe-zb1kt]

srry but i disagree with you @ romty25 there is no way a brains, position and shape can morph and the brain case of nano's skull is diffrent than a tyrannosaurus rex also as i said bob bakker did many tests the bones arent the bones of a juvenile its why someone who is 40 can brake a bone easier than a teenager older you get the stiffer and more brittle bones get the nano's bones are that of an older adult's ... i do respect jack horner but he isn't always right bub....

[@dylancraig4002]

That is very true

[@FilthzillaDubstep]

Filthzilla - T-Rex.

[@rubenmanssens]

It is actually the same dinosaur you know, scientists just gave a name so they would earn money out of it, look at /watch?v=kQa11RMCeSI

[@dylancraig4002]

Well then why did it have its massive size? actually i have the answer to that, It was a scavenger that would fight over a carcass and in the fight the spinosaurus used its main weopons, Its claws. The claws were longer than a pencil and as thick as 4 fingers. The T-rex would most likely try to corner the spinosaurus and go for its sail or back because it cant reach the neck without its eye getting clawed out lol. But you are very correct

[@jasonearly2257]

Yes

[@joybritton4077]

what is a nano d-ino

[@FirstPlace97]

[@__Pre]

Yea seems like it 😂

[@cristymunoz1470]

Why does everybody say spino is better than t rex? Tell me some facts about the two!

[@Khalaxe]

"Spino" quite literally was a giant fishing dinosaur hence it's long snout it was larger than t-rex but it would never win in a fight urm "Spino's" crest was a way of maintaining stable body temperature and it spent most of it's life in the water/ around water where as t-rex was a full on hunter of other large animals that needed to stalked and then killed so t-rex was a much more savage animal in that respect. Just a few wee facts.

[@cristymunoz1470]

So,like, rex is better?

[@itsdre9x9]

Cristy Munoz Well, it's all personal preference. You'll see many fans of Spinosaurus and Tyrannosaurus arguing over who is better, simply, because of the Jurassic Park 3 movie. Which is a shame, because I love T-rex, and seeing how it was the star of the first two Jurassic Park films was great, until Joe Johnston and others decided to kill Tyrannosaurs off in the 3rd movie. T-rex was in the third movie for a total of about 2 minutes, at the most.

[@cristymunoz1470]

Max Eggscaliber yes I love trex too, but in real world, who would win?im just saying that people are saying that spino will win just bcuz his bigger. Still, trex has more strategy, and more experience in fighting, right?

[@itsdre9x9]

Cristy Munoz In a real world situation, I'd have to give the win to Tyrannosaurs Rex. T-Rex's biting force was enough to crush bone. Spinosaurus was believed to have been primarily a fish eating dinosaur. There's clear evidence of T-Rex having a life full of fighting deadly battles. T-Rex fought against dinosaurs like Triceratops and Ankylosaurus, each of these herbivores could have easily ended a T-Rex's life. Triceratops could have impaled a T-Rex through the abdomen if Rexy wasn't careful. Ankylosaurus could have landed a perfectly timed blow to the head of a T-Rex, or break the leg bone of T-Rex. Keep in mind, I'm not taking anything from Spinosaurus, but I highly doubt Spino would last very long trying to duke it out with Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, or T-Rex for that matter. Yes, Spinosaurus was bigger, but bigger doesn't always mean you'll win a fight. Compared to T-Rex, Spinosaurus had a fairly weak biting force from what I understand. Look at the weak points as well, while falling would be deadly for each dinosaur, if Spinosaurus fell, it could easily die, by crushing the sail on it's back(severing the spinal cord in the process). While if T-Rex fell, like any other large dinosaur, bones could be easily broken, resulting in a slow, painful demise(if they're not killed and eaten before then.) Spinosaurus would have a higher chance of beating a young, inexperienced, sub-adult Tyrannosaurus Rex.(The one in JP3 was sub-adult from what I've read.) Sorry for the long response! I just began rambling and began looking as multiple aspects. Who do you believe would win if Tyrannosaurus Rex and Spinosaurus fought?
