not when facing larger theropods, there is simply not a sngle reason to favour saltasaurus! |

T. rex is heavier, stronger, taller, faster, smarter, and much much better armed. Saltasaurus stands no change, it's only slightly bigger than Malawisaurus. T. rex wins 100% |

Saltasaurus is more massive, stronger, and intelligence is irrelevant here I think you're using 10 meters for Saltasaurus, when in reality it was 12 meters long and 7.25-8 tonnes in mass Saltasaurus' strength is too much for the Tyrannosaurus Edited by SpinoInWonderland, Dec 28 2012, 02:45 PM.

![]() How is saltasaurus stronger? Also at 12 meters it would be alot lower than t.rex, and it did not reach 7-8 tons. T.rex could just easily dispatch the sauropod. |

Keep in mind that Argentinosaurus had a proportionally longer neck and possibly tail than the relatively short-necked saltasaur, scaling them to the same length would make the saltasaur more massive |

Saltasaurus is heavier, I posted 2 sources for Saltasaurus mass, a 7250 kilogram and an 8 tonne one |

I am speaking of a 12 meter Saltasaurus. I think it's about 3000-4000 kg. Here's Gregory Paul's estimate: http://gspauldino.com/data.html 2480 kg. And even if you use 7.25-8 tonnes it's still about the same as an average T. rex. |

Sauropod necks are highly pneumatic, it wouldn't weigh much at all. Saltasaurus has a long tail, not a short one. Even a 5000 kg Saltasaurus stands no chance against a Tyrannosaurus. |

Those sources aren't particularly credible. A 8 tonne Saltosaurus at 12m would result in a grotesque animal form consisting of an immensely obese torso on stout legs that would probably struggle to support it. |
