Top 10 Most Dangerous Dinosaurs
Dinosaurs were the original apex predators, and when you think of the most dangerous ones, it's easy to imagine towering beasts with razor-sharp teeth and deadly claws. But not all dinosaurs were massive. Some of the scariest ones were smaller, but just as lethal. From carnivorous giants that could crush their prey with one bite, to pack hunters that relied on speed and intelligence to take down animals much bigger than themselves, the ancient world was full of creatures that would give even the bravest person pause.The biggest carnivorous dinosaur so far, not to mention one of the most adapted. So many people are incorrect about T-Rex, saying it's the smartest and most adapted. T-Rex braincases were actually fairly small. Adapted? Not as much as Spinosaurus, which had a sail that could have been used to control its body temperature.
Recent studies suggest it could be semi-aquatic, putting it up against prehistoric marine predators. Also, the scene in Jurassic Park III was very accurate. The T-Rex died not because of the bite wound on the neck, but because the Spinosaurus twisted and snapped the neck, paralyzing or killing it. T-Rex fanboys need to learn their place.
T-Rex is awesome! He is the one, the only, king of all dinosaurs! There are some things Tyrannosaurus Rex has that Spinosaurus doesn't:
1. T-Rex has bone-crushing jaws that could crush a car.
2. He can run 25 miles per hour, faster than a person.
3. He lives in North America.
4. He has feathers.
5. He could prey on sauropods (mainly Alamosaurus), hadrosaurs, and other dinosaurs. He even fights Triceratops.
6. He lived after Spinosaurus.
7. He is the king of all dinosaurs.
8. He hunts in packs like lions.
Spinosaurus, on the other hand, only has these things:
1. He lives in Africa, not North America.
2. His jaws are not very strong, and his teeth are conical.
3. He mainly eats fish.
4. He lives near water.
5. He walks on all fours and probably wasn't that fast.
6. His sail was fused to his backbone, so if he fell over on his side, he would break his back and die.
7. He went extinct because he couldn't compete very well with the other carnivores in his environment once the climate was changing.
Giganotosaurus is very dangerous. It is 47 feet long, 18 feet tall, and also hunted in packs. Forget T. rex! Man, it eats the biggest dinosaurs!
It may not have been the biggest dinosaur, but it was either the 3rd or 2nd largest carnivore. This guy is 47 feet long, 18 feet tall, and it hunted in packs. Only something from the Lord Himself could kill this beast. This guy should be number 1!
Giganotosaurus was the second biggest theropod, I think, but far bigger than Carcharodontosaurus. It ate sauropods, and scientists even say they were strong and big enough to kill a full-grown Titanosaurus.
P.S., it was also bigger than T. Rex, and I also think they only vote because some of these dinosaurs were famous and familiar.
Pound for pound, Utahraptor was one of the deadliest killers ever, ranking even above T. Rex, if we're speaking literally, only falling behind its smaller cousins like Troodon and Velociraptor. However, what it lacks in skill and speed, it makes up for in size and power.
At 20 feet long and 8 feet tall, Utahraptor could kill a full-grown grizzly bear by using superior agility to its advantage. It was more than a match for much bigger dinosaurs, some of which it hunted alone, despite these dinosaurs being more than twice its size.
It had a slightly darker look compared to the T. rex and other larger carnivores. It also had smaller arms, like the T. rex, although having bigger arms gave it the ability to move better and have slightly better balance. It existed in the mid-to-late Cretaceous period.
Carcharodontosaurus should be number 3, while T. rex should be 4. The shark-toothed lizard (that's the definition) had a more lethal bite than T. rex and could possibly run faster. The only thing it was not superior to T. rex in is its brain, which was only half the size of T. rex's.
Yeah, sure, Allosaurus may not be the biggest or the physically strongest dinosaur on this list, but anything of that size and speed would've been more of a menace to modern society and us as humans than most other dinosaurs.
The fact that it might've hunted in packs of over 40 doesn't make it any better. Nothing of that size or power should be traveling in groups that big, and the fact that it does... well, that just makes it an absolute menace, now doesn't it?
Allosaurus is a theropod built for both power and speed. It's the most common predator of the Jurassic and also the most successful. Allosaurus has three huge talons on its powerful arms.
Even though its bite is not as strong as a Tyrannosaurus, it is still a very devastating weapon with shark-like teeth, and it can use its upper jaw like an axe. Allosaurus can be put at number 5 because a Utahraptor is no match for Allosaurus.
Velociraptor should be 3rd because they are intelligent, fast, and most of all, they can jump really high. They might be small, the size of a chicken, or 6 feet tall, but it doesn't mean that they can't be the deadliest dinosaur.
The Velociraptor is very deadly and hunts in packs. Although they are actually pretty small, I agree, they are probably the smartest and most intelligent dinosaurs to ever walk the Earth.
I voted for Velociraptor because they hunt in packs to take down dinosaurs twice their size. Not to mention their speed and razor-sharp toe claws. So dangerous!
Think of an Allosaurus, only bigger, nastier, and mightier. Saurophaganax is an Allosaurus on steroids. It's the grizzly bear of the Jurassic period, challenging Allosaurus, Edmarka, and Epanterias. It had huge claws and ferocious jaws. This should be in the top 4 or higher.
Saurophaganax is the grizzly bear of the Jurassic. He could hunt anything twice his size.
He makes Allosaurus look like a coyote compared to this killer.
Congratulations! Your Allosaurus has evolved into Saurophaganax!
The Ankylosaurus is vegetarian, but they are quite dangerous, large, and staggering. I think they don't have too much fear of carnivorous dinosaurs.
Although it is not as big as a Brachiosaurus, it's one of the most dangerous vegetarian dinosaurs. Their appearance is somewhat terrifying, armed like tanks, and their temper doesn't seem to be good. A bad-tempered dinosaur is dangerous, and the more bad-tempered it is, the more dangerous it becomes.
Ankylosaurus should mean armored lizard as its back and tail are full of deadly armored plates. At the end of its tail was a thick tail club. A big predatory dinosaur like T. rex would have been lucky to survive if it got clubbed.
It is 26 feet long and 200 pounds. It's a successful hunter and more dangerous than T. rex.
Don't say anything until you know about it. I hope you will go with me. That's all.
Megaraptor and Megalodon are stronger than a Utahraptor, so why is Utahraptor fourth?
Disregarding the fact that Mapusaurus was bigger than the T. rex, it was also a pack hunter, hunting in groups of 3-5. This is justified as Mapusaurus's primary diet consisted of what appears to be the largest land animal that ever existed.
It took down the biggest dinosaurs, like Argentinosaurus (may have misspelled that). It hunted in packs and also killed other carnivores. It was about 45 feet, bigger than a T. rex. Definitely the most dangerous dino.
This dino was 40 feet long, weighed 3 tons, hunted in packs, and had powerful legs and tail.
This creature is stealthy, fast, and intelligent, which makes it a formidable predator. They hunt in packs, usually numbering 1-5. It has razor-sharp claws, which they use for hunting. Its sharp claws dig into the skin like blades and can almost claw inwards 180 degrees.
Yeah, they made a mistake in the first Jurassic Park, and they accidentally identified the Velociraptor as a Deinonychus. Deinonychuses are actually the ones that are scaly, smart, and have big claws.
I'd say raptors are the most dangerous dinosaurs out there. If any raptor was scaled up to the size of T. rex, they've got the whole package: speed, brains, claws, teeth, and teamwork.
The Tarbosaurus is the most powerful predator in Asia. It can kill an Albertosaurus, and just to say, Spinosaurus seems powerful only because it killed the T. rex in Jurassic Park 3. It's not really that powerful.
Tarbosaurus is the most dangerous dinosaur in Asia. That's because it's basically T. rex junior. It can definitely defeat a Velociraptor or a Utahraptor. I believe it should be about top 5 or 7.
The Tarbosaurus was a powerful dinosaur in the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous periods. It didn't face too many significant challenges, which might have made it seem weaker, but it did confront the Therizinosaurus. By the way, the Tarbosaurus would definitely defeat Velociraptors.
A close cousin to the T. rex, it hunted in packs. It is part of the 'Tyrannosaur' family. Need I say more?
They say Albertosaurus is the predecessor and ancestor of the T. rex.
I mean, literally, Carnotaurus was one big predator, but paleontologists still believe that the one specimen, which was Carnotaurus sastrei, was a juvenile and it was 25 feet tall.
Yeah, I mean it was one of the most dangerous predators in the southern hemisphere as it could run at a speed of 45 km per hour. And by the way, I'm a big fan of The Gaming Beaver, so I should call him 'Toast.'
Why wasn't this one on the list to start? Just look it up, and you will see. I mean, its name means "meat-eating bull," and it was bipedal, 25 feet long, and weighed a ton. Also, it most likely was not a scavenger like the Tyrannosaurus rex is thought to be.
The Acrocanthosaurus is 40 feet long and was stronger, faster, and smarter than any carnivore. Capable of killing almost any dinosaur, Acrocanthosaurus should be number one.
Acro is like 5 feet bigger than the largest T. rex and had a high bite force.
While enormous theropods like T. Rex and Spinosaurus can certainly pose a threat, Troodon is like something from a nightmare. With disemboweling claws and superior intelligence, this killer is faster than any human. But the real threat comes from its size.
Troodon was 5 feet tall, small for a dinosaur, but this means it could go into buildings and hunt you down in your own home. With large eyes and good hearing, it could catch you in the dead of night. Add the fact that they hunt in packs, and your survival chance is absolutely zero.
Many people don't count Mosasaurus as a dinosaur, but I do and always have. It's stronger than many, as anything that came near it would be swallowed whole!
It proved to be quite a threat in Jurassic World, eating the Indominus rex with one bite.
Mosasaurus was huge. And it was not a fish or a dinosaur but still a beast!
No one beats this dino! It could individually kill packs of anything, including Tyrannosaurus!
Plates on its back and deadly spikes on its tail. It must be in the top ten.
Triceratops lived in a very hostile environment during its time. While it had horns and a thick frill for very effective defense, it was a territorial dinosaur and one that wasn't easy prey for any predator.
Scientists have actually stated that Triceratops is officially the most dangerous dinosaur ever. Look it up on the Discovery Channel.
It is actually the strongest. A T. rex cannot bite through its frill, so it must maneuver around it to get bites. All the Triceratops must do is charge straight at it. I think it could beat a T. rex 70% of the time. T. rex was most likely an ambush hunter.
Dude, that dinosaur is a beast. It can spit out acid up to 20 feet. If that hit a dinosaur like Utahraptor, that would blind it, and Dilophosaurus could go for the kill. Plus, it's very fast and can jump high.
I don't know how it landed in 16th place! For me, it's more dangerous than any other dinosaur in the world, even the T-Rex. It eats the Spinosaurus. I don't care if you laugh, but you must see how that thing looks. It appears even more terrifying than a Tyrannosaurus Rex. That dinosaur is a BEAST! Really.
It didn't have a neck frill and couldn't spit acid, but was still a powerful predator.
Too small to kill a T. rex, but at least it is smart, right?
Majungasaurus and Majungatholus are the same. Majungasaurus should be higher than this. It's quite stocky and has a very thick skull dome which can be used to headbutt the flanks of its enemies.
It's also big and has powerful jaws with powerful teeth. It also has a powerful tail that it can use as a bat to strike an enemy. Also, it has cannibalistic behavior.
Majungatholus atopus was a meat-eating dinosaur, a theropod. It was at the top of the food chain in its locale. It probably ate sauropods, long-necked plant-eaters, and other large dinosaurs. The name Majungatholus is derived from "Majunga," a district of Madagascar, and "tholus," which means dome in Latin.
Comparable to Giganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus (and possibly larger), it was one of the South American monsters surrounded by large sauropods for food. Its teeth could slice and were somewhat more robust, like a Tyrannosaur. It gave sauropods nightmares and has a killer name too.
Bigger than Tyrannosaurus, powerful arms, related to Giganotosaurus, Mapusaurus, and Carcharodontosaurus.
This dinosaur needs more attention. Maybe this top ten list is based on fanboy opinions, because why is Torvosaurus ranked so low? This is a strong and powerful dinosaur. It might be shown with slender pictures, but once you see its skeleton, you will see it is a monster. Others should vote for this.
This is an extremely dangerous dinosaur. It should be at the top of the list. A Torvosaurus could kill an Allosaurus. It probably could take down gigantic dinosaurs like Dimerosaurus (a Portuguese sauropod). It would have killed other predators like Allosaurus or Ornitholestes.
