There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

@Jubatus, Dr Dal Sasso never said that Spinosaurus weighed 20 tons, he states a weight of up to 7-9 tons, which is in line with Dr Ibrahim, check this out:

The exagerated and ridiculous weight of 20 tons came from Therrien and Henderson, and that weight is already discualified as they used Carnosaurs which are shorter and more robust than the Spinosaurus family members.

I think that c.15 metes and c.8 tons is the maximum for a Spinosaurus, based in the presente evidence, but of course, record-larger animals could happen. The same goes to all the other carnivores.
