Which of these dinosaurus do you think was the top Apex Predator during the Cretaceous of Africa. Give out your opinion why. Spinosaurus ![]() Carcharodontosaurus ![]() In my opinion. I think both would've been the top apex predator. Sometimes Carcharodontosaurus would dominate Spinosaurus and sometimes Spinosaurus would dominate Carcharodontosaurus.

I think that Spino would have dominated Charcha at carcasses because of it's size, but if it came to blows then it's 50/50. |

Carcharo, Spino was a fish eater; but it would be a dangerous fight for both when it came down to a fight over food |

I'm pretty sure spino would be dominant. |

Spino would dominate at carcasses and would imtimidate other predators like rugops and Deltadromeus/Bahariasaurus. |

This is the first time I've gotten involved in a dino discussion, but Spinosaurus reminds me of a gharial, in that it has a long snout designed to catch fish.. as in it has a long, delicate snout that is very poorly suited for fighthing. |

Spinosaurus, but only because of it's size. I think eventually, when Spinosaurus died out, Rugops took over. Unless Carcharodontosaurus was still alive after Spinosaurus. Then it would have been Carcharodontosaurus. |

Though it's jaws look weak they were actually strong. Spinosaurus had a bite force of 3 tons. |

Yes, Spinosaurus had a very strong bite. I think it's because it's jaws were similar to that of modern Crocodilians. |

It was Carcharo died out 85 million years ago, Spino died out a good deal earlier I think |

Then it would probably be Carcharodontosaurus. |

Actually spino had jaws like a false gharial which is adapted more to deer and monkeys so imagine a 15 ton false gharial. |
