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.

10 cm longer over a 150 cm longed-skull and you say that he “much more chance on landing a decisive bite” ?
You don’t want to understand, ok, end of game.

Oh, sorry! Maybe you misunderstood me.
The message I was trying to convey, simplified:
-Even with a 12.5% mass disadvantage, Giganotosaurus still has a bigger skull
-At parity, a larger skull would give it more of a chance of landing a decisive bite
-That gives it the win

1:Bigger in what sense....
Longer?
Wider?
Heavier?

2: What about teeth as well? 
Bending Strength, Robustness, Length?

3: There are many factors that goes into it.
Tigers for instance have a shorter skull than Lions but usually are wider a parity with larger muscle attachments and thus their bite force is higher. 
A 3'' difference in length on a long skull isn't more of an advantage than a heavier, wider and more muscle packed skull.

4: Neither animal is going to kill the other with one bite, thus the one that does more damage usually wins out. 


5: But there are examples against that too...
For instance a GWS vs a Croc

Crocs have a higher biter force while sharks have a more damaging bite but this shows clearly in their preferred method of attack.
GWS's will bite then sit back and let the prey bleed out while a Croc will bite and hold, but I'm not sure eithers teeth fit into the sharks category, correct?
1: Yes, it is longer. Weight is likely similar while T rex has a slightly (key; slightly wider skull, and at the base, not really the jaw)
See this chart for a better idea: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/583074799836856350/617003995638005770/comparison.jpg
2: Length is similar, robustness and strength are inferior but that is irrelevant as they do not need to be strong in that area for Giganotosaurus' strategy
3: My point was that the Giganotosaurus still possessed a larger skull with a 12.5% mass disadvantage, therefore its skull would be somewhat larger than that at parity
4: And they are equal in that regard - ignoring other factors such as size of the skull, a bite from a T rex/Tarbosaurus or Giganotosaurus would be equally deadly.
5: Yes, good example. That should fit well here.

Seriously, I don't see what makes a tyrannosaurid's bite supposedly more deadly than that of a same sized carnosaur.
