Yeah, but the truth is that the Animatronic T.rex (11.5 metres) and Spino (12.something metres) were almost the same size. The Spino looks bigger in some scenes because ILM made the CGI model bigger (around 16-17 metres.

i dont think u should count the sail on spino.spino was probably 39 to 45 feet long.a person must also think what gender the spino was.it was probably a freaky big female spino in jp3.i still do think the t-rex in jp1 was just as big as the spino in jp3. the t-rex in jp3 didn't look that big.the spino might have been too big in jp3.all i am saying is that thet-rex looked small compared to the spino.

I have my sources that it was male. The audio commentary of Jurassic Park 3 says that t-rex head was the same head used for the t-rex male in The Lost World. Plus if you read the card on the DVD it says the t-rex was 37 feet long the size of an adult male. As for Horner saying spino was 60 feet long he knows it wasn't that big so why is he saying that to promote the movie. I find that sickening. Spino was the same size as an adult female t-rex if you count the sail.

i do beleive the rex in jp3 was only about 25 feet.i also think rex was at least 17 feet tall but jp3 made it look like a midget and anybody that does not see that should be in a mental hospital or something.as for the colour of the rex in jp3, well i wont go there.i do believe jimmy 345 in saying that the t-rex in jp3 was a male but i think it was a small, fat male.okay, im being honest, in jp3 the rex looked like a green cow.i think that the rex in jp3 was actualy the baby of jp2.i do agree t-rex looked more like a hunter in jp2 than in jp1 but the size was a bit smaller than the size of the jp1 t-rex. i do think that IF the t-rex could only see something moving it wouldn't be a problem because if something saw a t-rex they would run away no matter what.if the t-rex in jp3 was something like the t-rex in jp2 or jp1 the spino wouldn't stand a snowballs chance in hell!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimmy 345, the T-Rex in JP3 was a juvenile, not a fully-grown adult, Joe Johnston himself even said so in an interview a while back.
And although (in reality) female Tyrannosaurs are believed to be bigger than males, in TLW they both were really the same sizes (just one of the many inaccuracies of the trilogy).
And you all know what I think of Jack Horner and his theories of Tyrannosaurus & Spinosaurus...
At 3:00:50 PM on 3/8/2002, Jimmy 345 said:
Shaberlin Jurassic Park didn't make a legend of t-rex it made a wimp out of t-rex. Instead of an unstopable predator it made him a frog that all you need to do to not get eaten is stand still. The Lost World made t-rex the cool predator I think he should be. The reason t-rex lost the fight is because it was male. Female t-rex were mush bigger and if it were female it would have won. Gigantosaurs was the biggest meat eater. If Gigantosaurs came t-rex would have ran for its life. As for Jack Horner I think he is a cook. He says t-rex was a scavenger and spino was 60 feet long. T-rex was a hunter and Spinosaur was 43 feet long.

What is wrong with the world? Are we going back to the same mistakes from the past? Clearly, our attention in the T-Rex is becoming more like a complot to destroy his fame and reputation. Since Dr. Horner made his theory that the Tyrannosaurus Rex was a scavenger and not a hunter; many persons are always trying to find a way to destroy the “King of Dinosaurs”. As I explained in my critic to Jurassic Park 3 some time ago, I must say that this concept is absurd, since no animal is truly a scavenger or a hunter. (Other paleontologists like Bob Barker and Phillip Currie have supported the same idea ). Now, think for a minute…Who is faster a T-Rex or a human? At the beginning we have that T-Rex could move with a velocity of 45 mph, now of 25 or 11mph; yet is this not fast enough!!!? Just analyze, what kind of human can run that? Of course we have cars and other machines, but without them, we will be “dino-food”. Also, if this is true, you must analyze the body of other predators, like the Spinosaurus –which is less strong than the T-Rex-, the Giganotosaurus –which is even bigger- or the Carcharodontosaurus. All of them were predators that could be also a scavenger and still the size was not much bigger than the T-Rex. On the other hand, we are confusing the real value that T-Rex had. The real question is not if the T-Rex was fast, yet if he really need that speed. (And not, be slow is not a scavenger characteristic). Everyone should analyze the habitat in where the T-Rex lived, and then ask, “was the area a physical and evolutionary aspect that affected the T-Rex’s development?” T-Rex was not as fast as a Velociraptor because he didn’t need to be fast, he was a hunter of larger preys, which moved in groups. The victims of this marvelous and aggressive dinosaur were slow, so why to be fast if your “walking food” could be harm to a slowly death or separate it from the group for a T-Rex family attack. (Fact: Young T-Rexes were faster than adults and they helped to hunt in family groups). Velociraptor, Spinosaurus and other predators were the assassins of other habitats; therefore their conduct and characteristics would be very different. (Velociraptors killed small or medium preys, which were fast or separate from their groups. In fact Velociraptors were not so big –once again a JP exaggeration- and if they had any opportunity to become scavenger, they will follow it.) Forget for one time the technology, and compare the magnificent specimen that the T-Rex was: a killing machine with a strength that can follow his prey for long time until the perfect opportunity arrives. He was not fool; yet his powerful jaws could kill in reality even three of his most closer adversaries: the Giganotosaurus, the Carcharodontosaurus and the Spinosaurus. For one last time, analyze every news and movie, especially Jurassic Park 3, which after serious analyzes we could see terrible errors about real paleontology. Have you though, that humans are also scavenger? Finally, if you say that T-Rex was not fast enough to hunt, are you willing to confront him without any car or machine?????????

Buy it or not. The rex in JP was going no faster than 11 mph. Look carefully, the feet of the rex do not leave the ground simoultanuously, he is "walking fast" all the way.
If it would be really doing 45 mph (20 meters or 66 feet per second), it would need to take 5 steps per second (13 feet per step max, according to estimates), watch closely : It's doind less than 1.5 steps per second.

First of all, Henderson says the top speed is "Between 5 m/sec-1 and 11 m/sec-1". That is 11 to 25 mph (18 - 40 km/h). The average human can't do half the higher estimate or such on <i>really</i> short distances.
Second, if that applies to T-Rex, that also applies to all large, 6,000 kg+ animals. That means it could certainly hunt Trikes and Hardosaurs as much as it wanted and perhaps smaller animals relying on ambush like modern felids.

It should be noted that while this study does effectively "ground" <i>T.rex</i>, it doesn't mean the animal was slow.
Not in the slightest even. It could fast walk at 11 mph (probably a little faster if we're really pushing it) which is fast enough to catch your average human.
Furthermore, Hutchinson & Garcia's model applies to all large dinosaurs, which means the hadrosaurs would have the same limitation (i.e. they couldn't run either).
In the hadrosaur case it is actually worse, since they weren't built very cursorially.
Anyhoo, the end result is that <i>T.rex</i> and all other large, bipedal dinos, couldn't run period. Hardly surprising. <i>T.rex</i> can still be a predator though, since the prey was even "worse" off than it was.
Incidentally, and as a little JP Fact, the <i>T.rex</i> jeep scene is actually rather scientifically accurate, since <i>T.rex</i> never did more than a fast walk (a <i>really</i> fast walk, but a fast walk nonetheless).
