Though nowhere near as large or powerful, its plentiful sharp teeth and wide bite make it more than a concern for any human who comes across one in the wild. The demonic horns on either side of its head are also quite intimidating and it's shown holding its own against much heavier dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom , even if it's mostly shown to be bullied around by the bigger T-Rex.
The Spinosaurus is bigger, for one thing, and has a large, intimidating spine on its back. This is definitely a scary dinosaur that could win a lot of fights its victory against the Tyrannosaurus was not appreciated by fans , so it has to make it onto this list, poorly received as it was.
A smaller and more weaponizable version of the next entry on our list, the Indoraptor is clearly meant to be a creature that's designed to scare people above anything else and its high level of intelligence may in fact be its most dangerous quality.
Still, there are a number of things about it that don't really make sense and its bloodlust seems to override all of its logic and problem-solving skills. In the end, it gets itself cornered and taken out by a smaller Velociraptor that had, itself, just recovered from a serious gunshot wound. Both this creature and the Indoraptor are high up on the list because they are clearly some of the most frightening and powerful monsters in the franchise. However, since they aren't actual dinosaurs and purely the results of genetic engineering, they aren't at the top.
The marketers and scientists at Jurassic World were looking to make the attractions scarier with even smarter, deadlier dinosaurs, so the Indominus Rex was created.
The Velociraptors are the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park that fans have really attached to the most. From the first movie up to the last, the Velociraptors have played important and interesting roles. They are smart, deadly, fast, and work together in packs. While the versions created for the movies are really more based on the Deinonychus given their much bigger size , the Jurassic Park world calls them Velociraptors. This water-dwelling dinosaur okay, it's actually a mosasaur was first shown in the franchise in Jurassic World.
This ocean beast is so huge that it eats sharks as snacks and effortlessly took down the Indominus Rex in one incredible lunge. The Mosasaurus is proof that the oceans during the time of dinosaurs would have been even scarier than being on the land. With its sheer size, it's just awe-inspiring. It really says something when fans were outraged by the Spinosaurus's defeat of this majestic creature. While other dinosaurs might be able to best the Tyrannosaurus in terms of raw size, it will always be the most powerful and influential in the series.
Paleontologists can benefit from this article by knowing key details about these deadliest dinosaurs ever, like:. Temporal Range: Kingdom: Animalia.
Phylum: Chordata. Size: 4. Mass: to kg. Family: Spinosauridae. Discoverer: Ernst Stromer. The Year of Discovery: With an approximate weight of 10 tons, this predator had large crocodile-like jaws that were used to pin the fish from deep rivers. The average size of one Spinosaurus was almost equal to one and a half double-decker bus in London. Spinosaurus was so dangerous that it used to even terrorize small-sized land-bound dinosaurs with its cruel set of claws as well as gigantic crocodile Sarcosuchus.
The vertebrae of Spinosaurus were supposed to be 20 times those of T-rex. Likewise, its gigantic sail of skin had long spines protruding from its back making it one of the powerful dinosaurs in the world. Temporal Range: million years. Size: 6. Mass: kg. Family: Stegosauridae. Discoverer: Othniel Charles Marsh.
The most attractive aspect of this herbivore is its unique body, which gets the attention of visitors due to a dangerously spiked tail on top. Stegosaurus would use this tail to bash the skull of its enemies and scare small creatures.
These quadrupeds had short forelimbs and long hind limbs. The distinctive combination tail tipped with spikes was used for defense against predators while the upright plates were used for thermoregulatory functions. Despite its low brain-to-body mass ratio, the size of Stegosaurus can be related to gigantic dinosaurs like Huayangosaurus and Kentrosaurus. Size: 0. Mass: 15 kg. Family: Dromaeosauridae.
Discoverer: Henry Fairfield Osborn. Velociraptor has been made very popular among people by Jurassic Park for being the s tar of the infamous kitchen scene. Despite their smaller size, velociraptors were used to create havoc with a paid or deadly sickle curved toe claw on each foot. Unlike portrayed in the films, velociraptors were very fast predators in real life and looked like birds. What made velociraptors the deadliest dinosaurs was their agility and intelligence coupled with their non-reptilian appearance and hook-like claws.
Velociraptors would like to hunt in packs and use their massive claws to grasp the escaping victims. Size: 1. The mighty Utahraptor is known for its sheer killing ability and large size.
Besides, Utahraptor had a superfast top sprinting speed that increased its ability to maneuver and hunt in packs. In addition to having sick-shaped claws on each hind foot, Utahraptor had unusually thick leg bones that would help him to repeatedly drive the killing claw into its prey.
The body structure and gigantic size of this predator was a symbol of horror for other dinosaurs too. Size: 8 to 14 m. Family: Carcharodontosauridae. Carcharodontosaurus is included in the list of the most powerful dinosaurs not only for its characteristics but for its name that means shark-toothed lizard. Despite having smaller arms, the raptor had cm-long serrated teeth in its jaw that could slice through flesh like switchblades.
Carcharodontosaurus would like wounding, beating, and eventually tearing its prey to death by using its long teeth. Having a skull size equal to that of a person, Carcharodontosaurus had a smaller brain. This speed was enough to outrun T-rex and other predators of that era. Size: 3. Family: Tyrannosauridae. There would hardly be any dino-lover in the world who is non-familiar with Tyrannosaurus rex T-rex.
Known as the ultimate carnivore, very lethal, intelligent, the predator was the most badass dinosaur ever in history. The fierce and scary Tyrannosaurus rex used to hunt live prey or feast on already-dead carcasses.
Weighing almost double that of an Asian elephant, the raptor had deadly bacteria in its saliva to ensure the prey gets killed even after a successful escape. T-rex would then use its 18,pound-per-square-inch bite to finish the things off. Size: 6 to 8 m. Family: Abelisauridae. Majungasaurus is one of the few known cannibals with a unique skull different from other theropods.
Known as a bad-lizard, the raptor would like killing its prey by holding firmly in its telltale teeth and biting to death. Its dental patterns were found on Majungasaurus bones in Madagascar, which is considered its native island.
Majungasaurus was such a ruthless killed that it even feasted on its own kin. Nevertheless, it could not be found whether they used to hunt live or feast the already-dead relatives. Measure content performance. Develop and improve products. List of Partners vendors.
