Tarbosaurus bataar Tarbosaurus belongs in the subfamily Tyrannosaurinae within the family Tyrannosauridae, along with the earlier Daspletosaurus, the more recent Tyrannosaurus and possibly Alioramus. Animals in this subfamily are more closely related to Tyrannosaurus than to Albertosaurus and are known for their robust build with proportionally larger skulls and longer femurs than in the other subfamily, the Albertosaurinae. Although many specimens of this genus have been found, little definite data was confirmed on the dinosaur as of 1986, though it was presumed to share many characteristics with other tyrannosaurids. The close similarities have prompted some scientists to suggest a possible link between the North American and Eurasian continents at that time, perhaps in the form of a land bridge. As with most dinosaurs, Tarbosaurus size estimates have varied through recent years. It could have been 10 meters long, with a weight of 4 to 5 - 7 tons. ![]() Therizinosaurus cheloniformis Therizinosaurus (play /θɛˌrɪzɨnɵˈsɔrəs/; 'scythe lizard', from the Greek therizo meaning 'to reap' or 'to cut off' and sauros meaning 'lizard') is a genus of very large theropod dinosaur. Therizinosaurus lived in the late Cretaceous Period (late Campanian-early Maastrichtian stages, around 70 million years ago), and was one of the last and largest representatives of its unique group, the Therizinosauria. Its fossils were first discovered in Mongolia and they were originally thought to belong to a turtle-like reptile (hence the species name, T. cheloniformis — "turtle-formed"). It is known only from a few bones, including gigantic hand claws, from which it gets its name. Though the fossil remains of Therizinosaurus are incomplete, inferences can be made about its physical characteristics based on related therizinosaurids. Like other members of its family, Therizinosaurus probably had a small skull atop a long neck, and had a bipedal gait and a heavy, deep, broad body (as evidenced by the wide pelvis of other therizinosaurids). Its forelimbs may have reached a length of 2.5 metres (8 feet) or even 3.5 metres for the largest known specimen. Its hindlimbs ended in four weight-bearing toes, unlike other theropod groups, in which the first toe was reduced to a dewclaw. Gregory S. Paul in 2010 estimated the length of Therizinosaurus at ten metres, the weight at five tonnes. It is the largest therizinosaur known and the largest known member of the Maniraptora. The most distinctive feature of Therizinosaurus was the presence of three gigantic claws on each digit of its frontlimbs. These were common among therizinosaurs but especially large in Therizinosaurus, and while the largest claw specimens are incomplete, they probably reached just under 1 metre (3.28 ft) in length. The claws are the longest known from any animal. The claws were relatively straight, only gradually tapering into a point, and extremely narrow, transversely flattened. ![]() _________________________________________________________________________

I think Tarbosaurus would win most of the time. Therizinosaurus though could fend Tarbosaurus off once in a while. |

I'd agree that Tarbosaurus would win most times in a match to the death, Therizinosaurus' claws may have been very useful deterrence as no big predator wants to get injured by giant meat hooks like that but in a death match I don't think they'd be ab;e to repel an attacking tyrannosaur of this size, it seems unlikely they'd be able to deal sufficient damage to stop the Tarbosaurus from simply chomping through the neck of the unfortunate Therizinosaurus. |

Got to give it to therizinosaurus, that pic shows an inacurate position of therizinosaurus's defesive/feeding posture, so in a battle therizinosaurus should stand taller and have it's claws ready for action |

Tarbosaurus wins easily IMO, Its strong bite can easily crush theri's thin neck before theri can slash with those claws |

In that video it got one time hitten at the head and gave up. Stan and Sue have not given up, after MUCH worse things, it's unlikely that Tarbosaurus is so much whimpier. |

I think this how the fight should necessarily go in my opinion: 0:46 onwards Edited by Carcharadon, Jan 12 2013, 02:59 PM.

Tarbosaurus would most likely win, prey animals only have to be dangerous enough to make predators incur a decent chance of serious injury. After that point they aren't worth the risk. |
