We remember when the T-Rex was described as the Tyrant Lizard King. We remember when we used to watch cartoonish dinosaur movies until the first Jurassic Park movie directed by Steven Spielberg was released allowing us for the very first time to capture on our screen these magnificent animals in the most realistic form and action ever possible.
By the time The Lost World Jurassic Park ll came, it seemed to be at its peak..and dinosaurs seemed to become a norm to watch on t.v. Nothing to be surprised about now except where the story goes...will it be interesting? And yes Lost World was...but nothing was like the Jurassic Park having witnessed for the very first time, where every single thing was new. And of course, we know we would like to see more new dinosaurs in the coming movies.
Jurassic Park lll, not directed by Steven Spielberg and although there were new dinosaurs, even the Velociraptors looking different...it really wasn't something. Where could the story go this time? Would it be T-Rex chasing again as the supreme predator? Would that still be interesting? Or would it now become the same old **** just in a different movie? We were surprised by how the Tyrant Lizard King, Tyrannosaurus Rex that had been ruling and destroying everything in its path since the first movie to quickly, easily having its neck broken before falling dead to the ground.
It felt strange to witness it, it was indeed shocking to me...the image created for T-Rex all these years and now seeing something absolutely opposite. The one stood, was not something we had seen before, the one stood, in Dinosaur times did not truly cross its path with the T-Rex for being in Africa. The one stood..was called a Super Predator, the Spinosaurus. It looked monstrous, huge, like a Crocodile designed to take on everything that moves on the ground. Besides, unlike T-Rex's forelimbs that look useless, this Spinosaurus could obviously use his for far greater advantage. Picture below shows T-Rex to be up to 37 feet in length, I am not sure if these lengths are accurate as others seem to state up to 40-45 feet and Spino 40-50 feet.
Spinosaurus indeed seems bigger than a T-Rex. Although I read an article that said it isn't true, the difference between both of them is just that the sail on Spino makes it look taller and its snout, makes it look longer. Whatever is the case, T-Rex with those large jaws shaped as they are, show it to have an enormous crushing power for that heavy head. And a powerful neck to support that, basically T-Rex was a muscular dinosaur with powerful legs to support its entire mass while Spino is said to not be so. And T-Rex, looking as it does..will always be no.1 in our hearts, at least it is in mine.
