However, in most land-based scenarios, Giganotosaurus would likely have the upper hand. The Spinosaurus was also longer and, with its spinal fin, taller than the Giganotosaurus. In any sort of aquatic or partially aquatic space, the Spinosaurus might have the advantage because of its superior mobility. So which dinosaur was actually stronger? In truth, it depends on the environment. According to the available evidence, Giganotosaurus still didn’t have the teeth size or jaw strength of a Tyrannosaurus, but it was more accustomed to taking on larger land-based prey than Spinosaurus. The creature is believed to have been a bit larger overall than a T-Rex, and its body type was much closer to that of the T-Rex than Spinosaurus. Giganotosaurus, in contrast, was much more land-focused in its hunting. Though they never met in history, a T-Rex likely could have beaten a Spinosaurus easily in a battle on land. In comparison to a T-Rex, Spinosaurus had significantly smaller teeth and a weaker jaw, but a longer tail. In this way, Spinosaurus wasn’t entirely dissimilar to bears in modern ecosystems. Evidence shows that the Spinosaurus also ate land-based prey, but that fish were its preferred food. The dinosaur primarily ate fish, and its long body, short legs, and elongated jaw all helped in that mission.

But which challenger is actually the stronger dino?ĭespite its portrayal as a land-based apex predator in Jurassic Park III, Spinosaurus was notably different in real life. Two of the most notable of those would-be contenders are the Spinosaurus from Jurassic Park III, and the Giganotosaurus, who’s set to battle the T-Rex in the upcoming Jurassic World: Dominion. The Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films have had their fair share of deadly dinosaurs through the years – both real and fictional – and some have even challenged the T-Rex’s throne.
