T-Rex was larger than thought!!

Cool news

T-Rex was seemingly much more massive than thought according to new computer studies. Sue, for example, was probably 9 tons... maybe even more, because the 9 tons were the minimum estimate!
And since Sue isn´t even the largest T-Rex...

I wouldn't say this to her face, but she is a fat old cow. :pac:

First Spinosaurus becomes a shortarse and now Tyrannosaurus gets 50% extra free.
The T-rex fanboys must be delighted...

Don´t forget though that Spinosaurus also got stockier and a more powerful bite than previously thought

It'd be interesting to see the same techniques used on T. rex applied to the other giant theropods - see how massive they got.

I seriously doubt that. Those huge claws were obviously important weapons- had it been quadrupedal, keeping them sharp would have been nearly impossible.

I'm thinking more bear claw than cat. And considering that bears fish too, it isn't that big a stretch to imagine the same scenario for spino only on a sliiiightly larger scale:D

Dunno, a bear's claws look blunter than those a spinosaur... then again I have no idea if the outer sheath has been preserved on spinosaur claws...

Not that Spoino's arms have been found at all....

Meh, I'm too lazy to move posts to the Spinosaurus thread..
