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.

In fact, that images of the T.rex and the Spinosaurus are old and inaccurate. This is the last image for comparison, approved by Paleontologist that had actually worked with Spinosaurus:

In order: Spinosarus, Giganotosaurus, Tyrannosuarus and Suchomimus.
As we can see, Spinosaurus was long, over 3 meters longer than T.rex, but it was very low and rarely walked in two legs. It measured c.15 meters long and weighed c.9 tons (estimations of up to 20 tons are unreliable and most be discarded). T.rex measured c.13 meters long, but it was higher at the hips (c.4 meters) and weighed the same (c.9 tons too). Giganotosaurus was of the same size than T.rex, or probably 1 meter longer, using the largest specimen, but weighed comparative less, between 7 to 8 tons.
