Hey Clint, Why don’t you get to think of a suggestion and creating a RUclips Videos all about the Next Animal Group about the Toucans, Woodpeckers, and their Relatives on the next Clint’s Reptiles on the next Saturday coming up next?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍👍👍
T-wrecks charges spinosaurus, but slips on a banana peel. While T-wrecks is down, spinosaurus leaps forward and bites t-wrecks. T-wrecks is wrecked, hence it's name. But the fight is not over! As spinosaurus springs back, it slips on a fish it had killed earlier, falls, hits its head on a rock and fractures its skull and the C-0 to C-5 vertebrae, killing it. The dead fish wins! Bet you didn't see that coming, did ya sucker? Always put your money on the dead fish. They have so many ways to kill, especially being slippery, and also not being mentioned in the match description. Pretty tricky, those dead fish!!
@@ClintsReptiles 35:28 with all your (mostly agreeable) points of critique, the little book has outsmarted you there. Big error/fail on your side! It´s only four short sentences and yet you still didn´t get them. So FYI take sentence one (incl. "Smash!") and put it in the second to last sentence postion -> voila! you should understand the narrative now.
@@TomAmit42 Nice try, psychic T-rex denier. That image was actually a metaphor for the T-rex using its mental powers to attack the Anky. It head butting actually represents him “using his head” and his mental gifts to unleash a concussive wave of psychic energy
And then to celebrate it's victory Spinosaurus took a swim, but then hundreds of man o wars showed up and Spinosaurus inhaled one and was stung to death from the inside. Man O War wins the Dinosaur Rumble.
T-Rex only had one Wish spell slot so he couldn't cast that again. The Spino has +1/+1 counters that stack when it envenomates other animals so at that point it had extremely potent venom.
The T-rex really should’ve spec’d into a magic build honestly. He only dipped his toes in. He could’ve been the first paladin class T-rex, but no. Another Barbarian.
Sounds like something the sci-fi channel/community would create. I mean after all, they created Sharknado... I would still watch that movie if they created it though. =P
I'm seeing some misconceptions about the nature of Tyrannosaurs' "Need Power". Many people mistakenly, but understandably, think that Ankylosaurus was flipped by a headbutt, but if you read carefully, that cannot be the case. If the headbutt has flipped it, the book would subsequently read that "T. rex NEEDED to flip it over". That isn't what it says. After the headbutt, T. rex still "NEEDS to flip it over". And then, just like that, it was done. The power is real! Happy Dinosaur December!
Needed is past tense to be fair. Though Ankylosaurus are nigh on impossible to 'knock over' though. Though Ankylosaurus maybe can't be bitten through it doesn't have a shell, biting it would just crush it like squishing a tube of toothpaste.
For a while I thought you were saying “KNEED IT to flip it over.” Like a kung fu fighting T. rex. That T. rex would’ve gone on to win and face Bruce Lee in the next book.
The T Rex vs Spinosaurus fight in this book was the dumbest in the entire book. "Spinosaurus has stronger jaw muscles". I don't even need to say anymore of how stupid it was.
@@chadgorosaurus4898 tbf, it said its bite muscles were stronger than t-rex's opening muscles, which is probably true. But I guess T-rex forgot to open it's mouth for that to be relevant.
I found it most odd that they constantly brought up how fast it was, like, yes, the spinosaurus is known for many things, but since when was it a speed demon?
Wouldn't have mattered, since T Rex snorted some jellyfish when trying to get a drink prior to the fight. Now if the chuckwalla was actually IN the fight, things would be different. "Spinosaurus bites Chuckwalla! Chuckwalla inflates itself inside Spinosaurus' mouth! Spinosaurus' head explodes! Chuckwalla wins!"
With the Supersaurus v Micropachycephalosaurus, I remember a paper about how smaller dinosaurs may have died in the FOOT PRINTS giant sauropods leave behind, that they'd churn the ground into mud which smaller animals would get stuck in.
NO not "who would win" again! 😂 I've been a long-time subscriber since 1000 subs. Thanks for suffering through this Clint. Yesterday was my birthday...I couldn't have asked for a better gift 😆

@@gecko-saurusIn the Roblox game Dinosaur Arcade, Smilodon is one of the most overpowered creatures in the game. Not only can it solo a Paraceratherium, but Brachiosaurus as well.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see they've given a fair chunk of the herbivores a hand up the competition, even if it does mean my absolute favorite, Utahraptor, was turned into mincemeat
I mean I don’t think most animals could survive a direct hit from an Ank's tail club to the head, let alone keep fighting, so the Utahraptor losing doesn't exactly make it weak
Speaking of that, I once tried to imagine a book that would be similar to this, only if it had more plausible outcomes and had its tournament consist entirely of non-sauropod dinosaurs (since that family has so many members that actually could be considered “too big”). Going further, I wondered whether it would be a decent subversion of expectations (namely that herbivores and especially hadrosaurs would be weaker), if the final round was T. rex versus Shantungosaurus and the Shantungosaurus ended up being the champion.
I mean, currently all the strongest land animals are herbivores. Elephant, rhino, hippo... would crush pretty much every predator out there, including big cats and bears. So it's not a big reach to think ancient herbivores would also be tough.
Uh oh, not another one of these books.. With that said, I adore the way you cover dinosaurs! It’s clear you hold a passion for them equal to your love for modern day reptiles. I’m excited for what Dinosaur December has in store this year..

That's what it's like being a spinosaurus lover just leave my sweet fishy boy alone ;-; Love these videos Clint, please take the time to heal and recover after this one...
My African grey watched this attentively, as she does with dinosaur videos. I'd say she concurs with your assessment. And I'm not kidding about watching intently. She sat there fascinated by it, and I think it's safe to say that she really likes this channel :)
35:39 The logic of this "battle" was so insane it literally broke Clint's brain. You're not alone, by the way; I literally said "wut" out loud when Ankylosaurus was flipped on its back.
my friend's daughter came over with a list of books to get from a school fair and I saw these books mentioned. She had them circled as something to get and I told her about these videos and advised her not to waste her money on them, so while you hate having to read these books, at least you are doing good at preventing some young kids from getting incorrect information. Also Happy Dinosaur December.
@@eIcucuy no the books are NOT good, they are bad writing, and occasional misinformation, the only thing they have to offer is just a collection of illustrations and pictures collected, otherwise its literally trash, any simpleton could clusterfugg a book like this easy, whipping it up with google and copy and paste, and im sure an AI could do the job these books did better! ( im pretty sure these guys mentioned that in a previous video.)
They very recently released a new one called "Ultimate Small Shark Rumble", featuring sixteen.... well, smaller sized sharks. It's not bad for a Who Would Win book, certainly nothing immediately stupid, but without spoiling anything, the final match goes out of its way to screw over the eventual runner-up.
My toddler and I loved this video (for different reasons though 😂). I was lulled into a false sense of hope by the beginning of the book and then was feeling the pain by the end. My toddler, however, loved it. She sat enthralled with her toy spinosaurus and yelled happily when she saw dinosaurs she knew. “Sauropod!” “Triceratops!” “A spinosaurus! Just like my own! Spinosaurus had sharp teeth and a long tail!” Thank you for enduring the pain, Clint.
According to recent studies, the heavily venomous Spinosaurus had retractable teeth! From an evolutionary standpoint, this was needed so that the Spinosaurus was capable of firing off its highly ionising heat ray from its mouth without burning its teeth. This, paired with the Spinosaurus' deadly venom and helicopter-like sail that allowed it to freely move around in the air, made the Spinosaurus a truly formidable predator.
What a painful way to start dinosaur December... Thank you Clint for suffering through these for us. Looking forward to more dinos and dino phylogeny vids this month. Thank you for being an awesome science educator, i find your "Best pet for you" cids informative and has helped me determine my next reptile baby.
I love how this book straight up took inspiration from the most controversial scene in jp3. I mean the spinosaurus even pins the trex in an unrealistic way to finish it off, absolutely incredible(not stupid at all).
Thank you and my condolences Clint! Your suffering is not in vain! These particular videos are as hilarious as they are painful. It would be the height of irony if Ultimate Rumble was about to go bankrupt before Clint started these videos only to see a massive rise in sales 😅
Someone Please! Get him the last two books - shark rumble and bug rumble. I NEED this series (the ultimate post-schadenfreude disorder (PSFD) rumble that is) to be complete!
39:18 Jurassic Park 3 and its consequences have been a disaster for palaeontology Another banger of a video! Can't wait for the rest of Dinosaur December.
uh oh, these books again! it was a real treat to see this new entry to the series today :) a shame the allosaurus didn't make it far. when i was little, i found the documentary about Big Al on a vhs in my local library, and watched it what must have been a hundred times, at least! i got really attached, and i'm still many years later very fond of the allosaurus :) thanks for suffering for our entertainment (and education!) again! :D
Minor correction at 31:26 Supersaurus probably would be able to rear. It’s relative Diplodocus could and they were probably better than the brachiosaurids due to proportionally less weight towards the front and Brachiosaurus especially carried a lot on weight on its arms. Supersaurus was not included in Heinrich Mallison’s paper so I can’t be 100% but it’s likely in my admittedly amateur position.
Your color commentary and reactions as the book devolves are just so entertaining! With lots of education sprinkled in too. Sorry for your sanity, but I'm excited to watch the next installment!
I like how this book repeatedly describes ceratopsians as slow turning and clumsy, yet the opposite was most likely true. Ceratopsians have front legs that are a bit more splayed out than their back legs, which made them really good at turning on a dime.
Love your passion Clint - mainly because I used to entertain my daughters - yes, girls, while they went through an early love affair with dinosaurs - the trouble with deciding how something long dead lived and all you have to go on is fossils - you tend to be obviously swayed by what you've seen on David Attenborough's programmes and how animals live and die today. If some of those little dinos attacked like hyenas - whole different ballgame. I'm not totally taken in by T. rex been all conquering either - not without strategy - they could easily have been cooperative hunters. And that Anklosaurus could have had his leg bitten if several raptors distracted him in front. However they did it - they were amazingly successful for about 175 million years - coming up with at least five major species overhauls. Glad I found your channel.
I think we all agree Clint is one of are favorite Reptile RUclipsr's. Ankylosaurus is one of my favorite Dinos! And while it may be considered overrated by some T-Rex are also pretty stinkin' rad and are a solid 2nd place for me. I also love the controversy in the Dino fandom (academia 1st and foremost) about Spinosaurus and would not be surprised at all if someone writes an academic paper on Spinosaurus venom.
You should do a phylogeny video of all of the dinosaurs as a whole, all of the theropods (might favorite dinosaurian clade) as well as the entire clade of the birds! I’ve been fascinated with the dinosaurs since I was 11 when I first learned about the ties that birds have with them! 🦖 🦅
Omg the photo at 5:01 was in a book i had as a child, i used it sooo much, i loved how nice the photos were in it, i even tried drawing some from it when i was young
14:36 I've called giganotosaurus that for years but I hear other people say it with more of a G sound like gopher is there a certain way to say it properly it's also nice to hear someone also so its name like that.
So, today I learned that Clint seems to handle reading these books much better when he has a couple of emotional support dinosaurs on his desk. Although he did continue to express some disapproval with the outcomes of a lot of the matches, he appeared to remain far less agitated while reading this book in comparison to the previous books. 🤣🤣🤣
A T-Rex, but the new modern standards in the time Jurassic Park three came out. Everyone really thought the spinosaurus would actually win. Some people are mad about this. I can agree to this and then end, but this is these are not accurate to real dinosaurs especially when we discover more and more details about the dinosaurs so yeah it’s all been crossed out for its time, so yes, a Tyrannosaurus rex woodwind would have won the battle. Standards are real life Tyrannosaurus Rex is pretty strong I would run if I were you well you would probably be eaten before you can’t even run and it’s sneaky so run if I were you try to run but you’ll probably get🦖 😅 40:16
On the positive side Clint....you have saved many of us from buying these books. They are available at all the local book fairs and now we no to just pass on by😂
One thing this does highlight is the power creep in therapod predators. Jurassic herbivores seem to rely on sheer size to keep them safe but cretaceous ones seem to be evolving more offensive defences. Horns, armour etc they're tanks locked in an arms race with "tank killer" therapods.
31:31 Diplodocids like _Supersaurus_ actually _could_ rear up on their hind legs as their centers of mass were close to their hips, while _Brachiosaurus_ couldn't due to its large arms and shorter tail making it very front-heavy. _Supersaurus_ itself may have been too heavy to stand on just its hind legs for very long, though. Also, where are the ornithopods? _Edmontosaurus_ would've kicked _Spinosaurus_ with its hooves before the venomous nutter could bite it. And maybe all _Tyrannosaurus_ needed to flip _Ankylosaurus_ over with was a giant spatula.
I went to this big dinosaur event in Indianapolis, and it was really awesome, they had lifesized, robotic dinosaurs there to check out. On top of that, they had tons of real fossils, they had like 20 different booths, with all kinds of cool stuff. It was one of the coolest things I've been to in a while. I'd share some pics on here if it'd let me, it was so cool. They had real fossilized dinosaur eggs, skulls, full fossils of smaller creatures, all kinds of awesome stuff. I was there for like 5 hours looking at all the fossils, and reading the info of where they were found, etc.
YESSS DINOSAUR DECEMBER!!!! Also for the fight with T-Rex v Anky, I think the intention was that the T-Rex headbutted it in such a way that it was able to tip the Anky. Idk if it would have been possible or not, with Anky being so low to the ground, but that's just how that paragraph feels like it was intended to be taken.
I would agree with you, but then it would say, after the ram, that "T. rex NEEDED to flip it over". That isn't what it says. After the ram, T. rex still "NEEDS to flip it over". And then, just like that, it was done.
There was literally no timeline where utahraptor stood a chance against ankylosaurus. Even if it could somehow ‘slash’ it’s ‘unprotected’ belly I doubt It would even cause that much damage
So, I have some thoughts. I first wanted to ask for a referee to review the spinosaurus round one fight. It was clearly a violation of the ouch! Rule. But in further investigation I discovered that the Ultimate Dinosaur Rumble was published January 1st 2019. This is relevant because what we know of the Ouch! Rule came from the Ultimate Ocean Rumble, published September 1st, 2020. So I now hypothesis that the Ouch! Rule was introduced at some point between these two dates. While I could not find a published statement from the Ultimate Rumble governing body declaring the rule change, I have to assume this is what happened and Spinosaurus is the rightfully victor.
It started out pretty good and then I heard “Utah Predator” instead of thief (or some other word for that). That’s such an easy thing to check and it was all down hill from there. I guess the Spino watched a bunch of documentaries about crocodiles and saw tape holding their mouths shut and then decided to improvise before giving a Rex a back scratch.
This was easily the best of the books so far. Most of the information was accurate and most of the fights had reasonable outcomes. It was not nearly so painful as the Ultimate Ocean Rumble. The decision to represent Spinosaurus as speedy was odd, but the focus on T. rex intelligence was a pleasant surprise. The last two fights were ridiculous, but not nearly so ridiculous as the sea turtle and orca losing to the man o' war.
I would argue the reptile one is well ahead of this. Yeah, the chuckwalla boulder thing was absurd, but this has just a strong of dumb things. But I am pretty sure the ocean one was written by a seven year old.

She had them circled as something to get and I told her about these videos and advised her not to waste her money on them, so while you hate having to read these books, at least you are doing good at preventing some young kids from getting incorrect information. Also Happy Dinosaur December.
The books are good, it’s just the author makes the weakest animals beat the strongest ones
@@eIcucuy no the books are NOT good, they are bad writing, and occasional misinformation, the only thing they have to offer is just a collection of illustrations and pictures collected, otherwise its literally trash, any simpleton could clusterfugg a book like this easy, whipping it up with google and copy and paste, and im sure an AI could do the job these books did better! ( im pretty sure these guys mentioned that in a previous video.)
@@arthurvalencia3982 well I mean some of them are literally over a decade old so ofc there’s probably gonna be some misinformation
@@eIcucuy there should be no "of course" to your whole explaination sir, this is dishonorable in the world of literature and publishing.
@@arthurvalencia3982 cry about it little man
Let's hope they make more of these books so Clint can react to them!
I will buy out the publisher if they discontinue the series
It’s a whole series. Many books.
They very recently released a new one called "Ultimate Small Shark Rumble", featuring sixteen.... well, smaller sized sharks. It's not bad for a Who Would Win book, certainly nothing immediately stupid, but without spoiling anything, the final match goes out of its way to screw over the eventual runner-up.
My toddler and I loved this video (for different reasons though 😂). I was lulled into a false sense of hope by the beginning of the book and then was feeling the pain by the end. My toddler, however, loved it. She sat enthralled with her toy spinosaurus and yelled happily when she saw dinosaurs she knew. “Sauropod!” “Triceratops!” “A spinosaurus! Just like my own! Spinosaurus had sharp teeth and a long tail!”
Thank you for enduring the pain, Clint.
This man ignites my learning drive like nobody else!! Keep on keeping on you wonderful teacher!! ❤
I adore his balance of meticulous detail and slightly unhinged enthusiasm :)
@milissamackey7231 excellent way of describing it!
According to recent studies, the heavily venomous Spinosaurus had retractable teeth! From an evolutionary standpoint, this was needed so that the Spinosaurus was capable of firing off its highly ionising heat ray from its mouth without burning its teeth. This, paired with the Spinosaurus' deadly venom and helicopter-like sail that allowed it to freely move around in the air, made the Spinosaurus a truly formidable predator.
What a painful way to start dinosaur December... Thank you Clint for suffering through these for us. Looking forward to more dinos and dino phylogeny vids this month. Thank you for being an awesome science educator, i find your "Best pet for you" cids informative and has helped me determine my next reptile baby.
I love how this book straight up took inspiration from the most controversial scene in jp3. I mean the spinosaurus even pins the trex in an unrealistic way to finish it off, absolutely incredible(not stupid at all).
Watching your channel with my kids is always a blast thanks clint!
I love that!
I love how he surrounds himself with tiny dinosaurs for emotional support
Oh boy... This is why I couldn't sleep well.. somehow I knew that Clint would be dropping this video. I'm so excited to watch this ! 😅
Who do you think is gonna win the jungle rumble vs who should win the jungle rumble?
Okay, supersaurus vs micropachycephalosaurus was hilarious. The micropachycephalosaurus was indeed thick headed to go into that fight to begin with...
Can't wait for the video on Spinosaurus. Probably one of the most controversial dinosaurs when it comes to how it looked and lived
i would love to see clint take the book's advice and make his own ultimate rumble book with more interesting animals and more realistic, even matches
Thank you and my condolences Clint! Your suffering is not in vain! These particular videos are as hilarious as they are painful. It would be the height of irony if Ultimate Rumble was about to go bankrupt before Clint started these videos only to see a massive rise in sales 😅
12:46 But man imagine if those huge therapods were also venomous lol. That just wouldn't be fair
Ultimate fight: Clint vs. kids' book! Anyways, great video; I love your stuff! You taught me a lot about zoology which is one of my favorite subjects.
Someone Please! Get him the last two books - shark rumble and bug rumble. I NEED this series (the ultimate post-schadenfreude disorder (PSFD) rumble that is) to be complete!
This is definitely one of the books of all time
For sure.
Goons enjoyer???
39:18 Jurassic Park 3 and its consequences have been a disaster for palaeontology
Another banger of a video! Can't wait for the rest of Dinosaur December.
uh oh, these books again! it was a real treat to see this new entry to the series today :) a shame the allosaurus didn't make it far. when i was little, i found the documentary about Big Al on a vhs in my local library, and watched it what must have been a hundred times, at least! i got really attached, and i'm still many years later very fond of the allosaurus :) thanks for suffering for our entertainment (and education!) again! :D
Minor correction at 31:26
Supersaurus probably would be able to rear. It’s relative Diplodocus could and they were probably better than the brachiosaurids due to proportionally less weight towards the front and Brachiosaurus especially carried a lot on weight on its arms. Supersaurus was not included in Heinrich Mallison’s paper so I can’t be 100% but it’s likely in my admittedly amateur position.
Your color commentary and reactions as the book devolves are just so entertaining! With lots of education sprinkled in too. Sorry for your sanity, but I'm excited to watch the next installment!
1:52 noooooo the shirt is aliiiiiive
I like how this book repeatedly describes ceratopsians as slow turning and clumsy, yet the opposite was most likely true. Ceratopsians have front legs that are a bit more splayed out than their back legs, which made them really good at turning on a dime.
Fun fact the spikes on a stegosaurus tailare called "thagomiser" named by cartoonist Gary larson in the comic "the far side"
I’m so curious what Clint has to say about Spinosaurus. Happy Dinosaur December!
Entire video coming!
@@ClintsReptilesBut it was definitely venomous, right? 😂
At this point there's no denying it.
Love your passion Clint - mainly because I used to entertain my daughters - yes, girls, while they went through an early love affair with dinosaurs - the trouble with deciding how something long dead lived and all you have to go on is fossils - you tend to be obviously swayed by what you've seen on David Attenborough's programmes and how animals live and die today. If some of those little dinos attacked like hyenas - whole different ballgame. I'm not totally taken in by T. rex been all conquering either - not without strategy - they could easily have been cooperative hunters. And that Anklosaurus could have had his leg bitten if several raptors distracted him in front.
However they did it - they were amazingly successful for about 175 million years - coming up with at least five major species overhauls.
Glad I found your channel.
I think we all agree Clint is one of are favorite Reptile RUclipsr's. Ankylosaurus is one of my favorite Dinos! And while it may be considered overrated by some T-Rex are also pretty stinkin' rad and are a solid 2nd place for me. I also love the controversy in the Dino fandom (academia 1st and foremost) about Spinosaurus and would not be surprised at all if someone writes an academic paper on Spinosaurus venom.
Spinosaurus should’ve lost in round 1 or 2, giga should’ve beat Rex, if it didn’t, then Rex should’ve one shotted spino
16:53 I hate that I know _exactly_ where on Fjordur that shot came from
came looking for this exact comment lol
Like a T-Rex, I NEED to see more of these reactions!😆
7:33 Utah is looking to name its new hockey team, the Utah Plunderers has a certain ring to it :D
You should do a phylogeny video of all of the dinosaurs as a whole, all of the theropods (might favorite dinosaurian clade) as well as the entire clade of the birds!
I’ve been fascinated with the dinosaurs since I was 11 when I first learned about the ties that birds have with them! 🦖 🦅
We did one of those last year, one is coming later this month, and I'm working on the birds, but it will take me a bit.
Omg the photo at 5:01 was in a book i had as a child, i used it sooo much, i loved how nice the photos were in it, i even tried drawing some from it when i was young
I can’t believe the T.Rex lost because it accidentally inhaled a portugese man of war when it tried to breathe underwater
My RUclips recommendations are doing me right today. Just watched the first 2 to find this one released today. Ready for the nonsense!
That's one heck of a day!
I have never clicked so fast 😂
Besides phylogenies, this is my favorite series!
I'm still confusing everyone that whales *are* in fact fish. 😂
14:36 I've called giganotosaurus that for years but I hear other people say it with more of a G sound like gopher is there a certain way to say it properly it's also nice to hear someone also so its name like that.
So, today I learned that Clint seems to handle reading these books much better when he has a couple of emotional support dinosaurs on his desk. Although he did continue to express some disapproval with the outcomes of a lot of the matches, he appeared to remain far less agitated while reading this book in comparison to the previous books. 🤣🤣🤣
There were even dinosaurs on the sauropod side of the split that were still bipedal for a bit
Dinosaur Decemberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Truly the most wonderful time of the year ❤
A T-Rex, but the new modern standards in the time Jurassic Park three came out. Everyone really thought the spinosaurus would actually win. Some people are mad about this. I can agree to this and then end, but this is these are not accurate to real dinosaurs especially when we discover more and more details about the dinosaurs so yeah it’s all been crossed out for its time, so yes, a Tyrannosaurus rex woodwind would have won the battle. Standards are real life Tyrannosaurus Rex is pretty strong I would run if I were you well you would probably be eaten before you can’t even run and it’s sneaky so run if I were you try to run but you’ll probably get🦖 😅 40:16
On the positive side Clint....you have saved many of us from buying these books. They are available at all the local book fairs and now we no to just pass on by😂
One thing this does highlight is the power creep in therapod predators. Jurassic herbivores seem to rely on sheer size to keep them safe but cretaceous ones seem to be evolving more offensive defences. Horns, armour etc they're tanks locked in an arms race with "tank killer" therapods.
31:31 Diplodocids like _Supersaurus_ actually _could_ rear up on their hind legs as their centers of mass were close to their hips, while _Brachiosaurus_ couldn't due to its large arms and shorter tail making it very front-heavy. _Supersaurus_ itself may have been too heavy to stand on just its hind legs for very long, though.
Also, where are the ornithopods? _Edmontosaurus_ would've kicked _Spinosaurus_ with its hooves before the venomous nutter could bite it.
And maybe all _Tyrannosaurus_ needed to flip _Ankylosaurus_ over with was a giant spatula.
I went to this big dinosaur event in Indianapolis, and it was really awesome, they had lifesized, robotic dinosaurs there to check out. On top of that, they had tons of real fossils, they had like 20 different booths, with all kinds of cool stuff. It was one of the coolest things I've been to in a while. I'd share some pics on here if it'd let me, it was so cool. They had real fossilized dinosaur eggs, skulls, full fossils of smaller creatures, all kinds of awesome stuff. I was there for like 5 hours looking at all the fossils, and reading the info of where they were found, etc.
T-Rex stands no chance against a chuckwalla. Chuckwalla is too small for the t-rex, the chuckwalla bites the t-rex's little toe and it dies.
Please, next smack down. Battle of the scale wings, moths v's butterflies. Who will win? Who has the deadlier proboscis?
What a wonderful way to start dinosaur December
😂😂
Its so interesting to see you use a bunch of jwe2 screenshots!
I love dinosaur December!!!🦖🦕
14:35
Giga is the second biggest.
At max its 10.4 tonnes.
The spino is at max 9 tonnes.
And the t-rex at its maximum size is 12000 kg.
The authors probably felt like they needed to “subvert expectations” by not having Tyrannosaurus win
It's finally dinosaur December!! I've been so excited!
YESSS DINOSAUR DECEMBER!!!!
Also for the fight with T-Rex v Anky, I think the intention was that the T-Rex headbutted it in such a way that it was able to tip the Anky.
Idk if it would have been possible or not, with Anky being so low to the ground, but that's just how that paragraph feels like it was intended to be taken.
I would agree with you, but then it would say, after the ram, that "T. rex NEEDED to flip it over". That isn't what it says. After the ram, T. rex still "NEEDS to flip it over". And then, just like that, it was done.
@ClintsReptiles I think that's just more of the beauty of this book at work. They aren't really lining up their past and present tenses. LOL
Can we just admire the chaotic background of the championship with the tornado on the horizon 🌪️
I never knew Megalosaurus just meant "big lizard," lol. If you think "big lizard" cares about the paying customer, I've got news for you buddy.
There was literally no timeline where utahraptor stood a chance against ankylosaurus. Even if it could somehow ‘slash’ it’s ‘unprotected’ belly I doubt It would even cause that much damage
So, I have some thoughts. I first wanted to ask for a referee to review the spinosaurus round one fight. It was clearly a violation of the ouch! Rule. But in further investigation I discovered that the Ultimate Dinosaur Rumble was published January 1st 2019. This is relevant because what we know of the Ouch! Rule came from the Ultimate Ocean Rumble, published September 1st, 2020. So I now hypothesis that the Ouch! Rule was introduced at some point between these two dates. While I could not find a published statement from the Ultimate Rumble governing body declaring the rule change, I have to assume this is what happened and Spinosaurus is the rightfully victor.
Thank you for shedding so much greatly needed light on the subject!
You mean the “ouch”! Rule being if an animal says “ouch”! It is akin to a declaration of forfeiture?
It started out pretty good and then I heard “Utah Predator” instead of thief (or some other word for that). That’s such an easy thing to check and it was all down hill from there.
I guess the Spino watched a bunch of documentaries about crocodiles and saw tape holding their mouths shut and then decided to improvise before giving a Rex a back scratch.
This was easily the best of the books so far. Most of the information was accurate and most of the fights had reasonable outcomes. It was not nearly so painful as the Ultimate Ocean Rumble. The decision to represent Spinosaurus as speedy was odd, but the focus on T. rex intelligence was a pleasant surprise. The last two fights were ridiculous, but not nearly so ridiculous as the sea turtle and orca losing to the man o' war.
I would argue the reptile one is well ahead of this.
Yeah, the chuckwalla boulder thing was absurd, but this has just a strong of dumb things.
But I am pretty sure the ocean one was written by a seven year old.
