Tyrannosaurus Rex VRS Megalodon

Y'know, the forum has been going several years now and this is our first VRS thread...

Yeah a large GW like the 'Submariner' who was a 20 footer would be a better match. T. rex just wouldn't have the maneuverability and would be squashed easily be a megalodon.

Are you talking about the South African GW called the Submarine? That was proven to be a hoax and the pic was doctored. It still gets reported in many sites as fact.

Having said that I have been in the water (in a cage) with some massive GWs that would be in the 18 foot bracket, maybe a little longer, who would have been 3,000lbs to 4,000lbs range, and I would have little doubt that if they were to attack a T Rex in a water depth that allowed the shark to manoeuvre, then the naturally aquatic creature would win every time.

If we totally discount the fact that a predator like the GW would most likely
be very wary of anything the size of a T-Rex in shallow water, I would see the shark winning with as little as one bite. One bite to the leg could send the T-Rex toppling over, and at that point it would be fair game to drown, die of shock, or die of blood loss.


A meg against T Rex in water would just be a horrible mismatch. The meg is too big and much too heavy for the Rex to even have a slim chance.

Total mismatch.

The typical body mass listed for adult Tyrannosaurus is 6-7 tons.
The typical body mass for megalodon is 50 metric tons. 7 to 8 times heavier than the dinosaur.
According to a recent experiment, megalodon could engulf 30 square feet of organic substance in one bite.
T. rex is absolutely no match.

I think a better one would be who would win
Titanaboa vs Sarcosuchus

Bit like anaconda vs a salty
Be some battle as both are aquatic

Deinosuchus would probably be a better choice over a Sarcosuchus.


Would imagine it would boil down to whether or not the snake could maintain a constricting grip (assuming that it 100% hunted in that fashion) long enough to do enough damage to the croc or long enough to drown it before the croc got a clean bite in.

If the titanaboa was against a Deinosuchus, then I would favour the croc based on raw power, and crazy bite power. Would see this clash as being similar to what plays out now between fully grown salties and large constrictoirs.


As for the modern day clash, I would actually favour a big saltie as there are recorded cases of full sized adult salties killing full sized constrictors whereas most of the reported cases crocs/gators killed in modern times consist of a small to average sized croc/gator being attacked by a large constrictor.

Or this could happen...

I know it's funny to slag off T. rex's small arms, but in a fist fight surely megalodon is even more screwed?

Unless he goes Mike Tyson style.

That's probably why trex was always angry
Wouldn't you be if you were made so big with tiny little arms

I'd say he finds press ups murder.
'come at me megalo!'
'do you even lift bro? '

With likes of titanaboa vs giant croc or trex it'd come down to who gets who first
For instance if trex walked past titanaboa and snake struck and coiled then trex is a goner
But with croc and Rex if they got the snake first then prob paralyse it with one good bite and game over for snake

Thinkin of gettin a snake
Where would one get a titanaboa
They seem cool

What bout Sarcosuchus vs spinosaurus
Again probably depends on the ambush on who goes after who first
