Top Ten Most Overrated Dinosaurs
Tyrannosaurus, meaning "tyrant lizard", from the Ancient Greek tyrannos, "tyrant", and sauros, "lizard" is a genus of coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur. It also had a tremendous bite force, the strongest of any Dinosaur and living terrestrial animal. Its bite force reached up to 12,800 pounds (roughly 5805 Kilograms). The T-rex is by far the most overrated dinosaur that existed. No matter how many new dinosaurs are found, the T-rex will sadly remain an overrated dinosaur. Firstly, films constantly overuse the T-rex and make it way too overpowered. In real life, the T-rex isn't what it's like in films. Secondly, the T-rex doesn't deserve the title of being 'King of the dinosaurs.' I understand why it was given the title at the time, but since then, hundreds of stronger, more powerful, and cooler dinosaurs have been discovered. Instead of passing the crown to another dinosaur, the T-rex has selfishly kept the crown for itself, this would be fine if the T-rex wasn't cocky. Lastly, there are so many stereotypes around the T-rex which give a false impression of the dinosaur. Many stereotypes I know of are false, such as it was the strongest dinosaur to rule the earth, It was the biggest dinosaur to rule the earth, or It had the strongest bite force of any dinosaur. The only stereotype I can agree with ...more
Tyrannosaurus rex... Tyrannosaurus rex... Everything tyrannosaurus rex. Yes I get it, it has the most powerful bite force of any dinosaur walked on earth. But seriously? It is not the largest among ALL carnivorous dinosaurs. Yet this dinosaur gets MAJORITY of the spot light, from jurassic park to jurassic world, to jurassic park the game where the roar of this dinosaur is everywhere. (kind of sick to me that every carnivorous dinosaur has the roar of the t. rex.) Stop thinking that t. rex is the meanest, baddest dinosaur that can beat EVERYTHING. It only have higher chance of winning against others, that's all, not 100%.
I'm not butthurt about t. rex's having more advantageous to win against other dinosaur, is just that this dinosaur gets. Too. Much. Spot. Light.
This is the only list where T-Rex deserves first place. The dinosaur is very overused and is always portrayed as being the most powerful dinosaur ever, however there are many examples of stronger and better dinosaurs which are more unknown of such as the Carcharodontosaurus or the Zhuchangtyrranus. I'm fed up especially of popular films, such as Jurassic World, always adding the T-Rex and making it overpowered. For future reference, I hope that people research more dinosaurs and that films stop overusing the T-Rex especially.
Pretty much everyone has this dinosaur as their favorite. Sure, it's cool and all, but there were quite a few carnivorous dinosaurs that could take down a healthy one. I think carnivorous dinosaurs in general were overrated. My favorite is Brachiosaurus, a herbivore.
Spinosaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived in what now is North Africa, during the lower Albian to lower Cenomanian stages of the Cretaceous period, about 112 to 97 million years ago. Spinosaurus may have been huge, but it was relatively weak. It had a two-ton bite force and was a quadruped on land. The only thing that gives other carnivores a run for who is cooler is the fact that Spinosaurus could swim extremely well.
It has weak thin jaws with uncurved, hollow, unserrated teeth, only good for hooking fish. It was aquatic, and when it did go on land, it would walk on all fours because of its sail. That's the only reason people say it's the tallest. Why would a fish eater even need to grow sixty feet long? Wow, paleontology is totally screwing itself up!
Triceratops is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur that first appeared during the late Maastrichtian stage of the late Cretaceous period, about 68 million years ago in what is now North America.Brontosaurus exists, it was re-discovered.
Stegosaurus is a type of armored dinosaur. Their fossil bones have been found in rocks dated to the Late Jurassic period, between 155 and 150 million years ago, in the western United States and Portugal.Spelled incorrectly, it's Nanotyrannus. Also probably invalid.
Oviraptor is a genus of small Mongolian theropod dinosaurs, first discovered by technician George Olsen in an expedition led by Roy Chapman Andrews, and first described by Henry Fairfield Osborn, in 1924. Its name is Latin for 'egg taker' or "egg seizer", referring to the fact that the first fossil specimen was discovered atop a pile of what were thought to be Protoceratops eggs, and the specific name philoceratops means "lover of ceratopsians", also given as a result of this find.
Giganotosaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived in what is now Argentina, during the early Cenomanian age of the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 99.6 to 97 million years ago. Don't get me wrong Giganotosaurus is my favorite dinosaur
But its over rated.
Giganotosaurus meaning ''giant lizard of SOUTH'',was a theropod charcarodontosaurid with over 13 meters long and is highly overrated,mostly because of it's appearance in the game:ARK:survival evolved with a HUMUNGOUS oversize,with over 26 or more meters.
Velociraptor is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived approximately 75 to 71 million years ago during the later part of the Cretaceous Period. This puny little dinosaur just traveled in packs and mostly scavenged. Sure, they did run fast, but there so overrated.
Therizinosaurus is a genus of very large therizinosaurid that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now the Nemegt Formation around 70 million years ago. If you even go as far to suggest that this dinosaur was not the coolest, strongest, or best you should expect a angry mob at your door because its impossible to critisize this dinosaur. "It's so underrated and unique" yet everywhere you go this dinosaur is shoved down your mouth. The worst thing is that this dinosaur is overrated because apparently its "underrated" plus I'm sure those oversized nail extensions would shatter if exposed to any kind of conflict plus its neck would be a huge target for a predator
Should be number 1. Imagine a chicken and rat hybrid With extremely long fingernails . Does that look cool ?
Argentinosaurus is a genus of titanosaur sauropod dinosaur first discovered by Guillermo Heredia in Argentina. The generic name refers to the country in which it was discovered. People say it's the biggest dinosaur but Seismosaurus was almost 20 feet larger.
Carnotaurus, meaning "Meat eating Bull" in Ancient Greek, is a genus of abelisauridae theropod dinosaur that lived in what is now South America about 70 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous period.
Ceratosaurus was a carnivorous theropod dinosaur in the Late Jurassic period (Kimmeridgian to Tithonian).My sister thinks it's the strongest dino. Its not
Its completely F tier and is an easy kill
Allosaurus is a genus of large theropod dinosaur that lived 155 to 150 million years ago during the late Jurassic period.
Iguanodon is a genus of ornithopod dinosaur that existed roughly halfway between the first of the swift bipedal hypsilophodontids of the mid-Jurassic and the duck-billed dinosaurs of the late Cretaceous.
Tarbosaurus is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur that flourished in Asia about 70 million years ago, at the end of the Late Cretaceous Period.
