Introduction
Hello, I'm Roman and today we will compare these two epic predators. On the picture we can see them. Carcharodontosaurus left, Spino right. Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus lived alongside and probably competed for the prey. I interested in learning all dinosaurs but this pair is special case. Let's start.
Describing
Carcharodontosaurus
I didn't found the skeleton of Carchararodontosaurus but this skeleton and its one are indentical. You can see a well adapted active predator that was athletic built. It was bigger than legendary T-rex, but smaller than Spinosaurus. It was about 13 meters long and nearly 8-9 tons weighed.
This skull was 1.75 meters long. Carcharodontosaurus could swallow anybody of us easily. This skull was well-adapted for slashing meat not for pulling prey. Carcharodontosaurus had breakable skull and it couldn't stand under big stress. Look at his teeth. They are really huge. Long, serrated, knife like.
Its lungs were perfectly adapted for running that proves that Carcharodontosaurus was extremely fast predator. Its speed estimated to be about 50 kilometers per hour.
Spinosaurus
The owner of this skeleton was mostly fish-eater and spend many time in water. But when it was drought he could preyed on Ouranosaurus or sauropods like Paralititan. That was the time when these two predators faced off. Spinosaurus was much longer than Carcharodontosaurus. Approaching 16 meters long and weighing 7-8 tons he was really gigantic.
Jaws of Spino was crocodilian like and was perfectly adapted for hunting in water. But what about hunting on the land? Spinosaurus could hold his prey with its straight conical teeth and slash it with his 2 meters long arms with enormous claws. So we see that jaws weren't main weapon for Spinosaurus.
Despite its size, Spinosaurus was really fast. With his powerful hindlimbs it could reach 30 km/h. Fast, but not as fast as Carcharodontosaurus.
Size
Spinosaurus was longer but not heavier. It was very light built, because it hunted in water and it disturb Spinosaurus. And look on this sail, this is actually vertebraes, so if Spinosaurus falls, he won't get up. This is loose!
Skull
Crocodilian like jaws of Spinosaurus were adapted to hunting fish but in the battle between these predators they are useles. So I say yes to Carcharodontosaurus.
Teeth
Carcharodontosaurus had teeth that were well adapted for slashing meat while teeth of Spinosaurus are adapted for only fishing. Spinosaurus looses
Special weapon
Spinosaurus had enormous arms with gigantic claws that were like axes. They could deal huge damage to Carcharodontosaurus. Spinosaurus
My version of battle
Spinosaurus lies low. It is hunting Ouranosaurus. Suddenly Spino jumps to its prey and holding it with its claws. But it shouldn't relax, Carcharodontosaurus has scented fresh blood and just has been waiting when Spino killed its prey. It was hard work for "Spine Lizard" and it isn't going to give ground to the thief. Every body looked on its enemy and Spinosaurus decided to attack first. Carcharodontosaurus is quicker and it have dodged and clinged to the neck. They have long fought and finally Spinosaurus escapes from deadly jaws of Carcharodontosaurus. But teeth of Carcharodontosaurus have already done their work, escaping Spinosaurus did even more problems itself, Spino slited its neck of teeth of Carcharo and felt sick from loss of blood. Spino decided to step back and Carharodontosaurus confirms the title of the main predator in Africa
