GarretHOST
It was pretty thin, as it should be for Dilophosaurus, 'cause Dilophosaurus was not a bulky dinosaur.
GarretHOST
It was very thin compared to later carnivores like Tyrannosaurus or Giganotosaurus or Spinosaurus.
SabrinaHOST
Mm-hmm.
GarretHOST
But they did make it nice and tall, and they have this intense head-on view of the male with its red-tipped crest.
AnthonyHOST
Would you guys want to play around with Indominus Rex? He has all kinds of cool strengths and abilities.
AnthonyHOST
Now, Indominus Rex right here is a Giganotosaurus, a Majungasaurus, a Carnotaurus, a Rugops, a Therizinosaurus, a Tyrannosaurus rex, a Pycnonemosaurus, a Quilmesaurus, a Viaventinator, a Velociraptor, a Deinosuchus, a cuttlefish, a tree frog, and a pi- a pit, v- uh, a pit viper snake.
AnthonyHOST
So all those DNA, all those creatures mix together, and we get the Indominus Rex, and this is the fierce king or the untamable king.
AnthonyHOST
Now, it is a large theropod, reaching up to 55 feet long and 22 feet tall.
AnthonyHOST
It is one of the biggest, if not the, well, probably not the biggest.
AnthonyHOST
You guys probably voted for the biggest.
AnthonyHOST
This one is Giganotosaurus-sized, and it's covered with spiky osteoderms, which gave it some kind of armor all across its body.
AnthonyHOST
These bony deposits within its skin protected it from gunfire, like we see in Jurassic World, and its forearms are inspired by the Therizinosaurus, featuring thumbs and even those four-fingered claws, you guys, that we don't see on very many of our, um, theropod-type dinosaurs.
Dinosaur GeorgeHOST
Raptor claw Robin turned sixt on Se- six on September 14th.
Dinosaur GeorgeHOST
Isim Raptor Giganotosaurus turned six on September 14th.
Dinosaur GeorgeHOST
Mr.
Dinosaur GeorgeHOST
Seven turned six on September 14th.

Dinosaur GeorgeHOST
And you keep making more and more groups that are smaller and smaller to where you get down to where you get these family groups.
Dinosaur GeorgeHOST
So Carcharodontosaurids are f- are a family.
Dinosaur GeorgeHOST
Now within the Carcharodontosaurids, there's a bunch of different dinosaurs: Acrocanthosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Mapusaurus, Meraxes, Labocania, uh, Tyrannotitan.
Dinosaur GeorgeHOST
Just because the name has the word Tyranno in it doesn't mean it's required to be part of the Tyrannosaur family.

But there are some things we have to worry about.
speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Obviously, you got your T-Rex, Spinosaurus, Gigantosaurus.
speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There's no doubt that these are some of the most apex predators to ever exist.
speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But honestly, I think there's one scarier.
AnthonyHOST
22 feet high, it towers over Utahraptor, weighing in at six tons.
AnthonyHOST
This is a hybrid-type dinosaur, mixing the T. rex, Giganotosaurus, Therizinosaurus, some kind of snake, some kind of fish, some kind of frog, all mixed together into a Jurassic World hybrid.
AnthonyHOST
But now it is time to see who would win in an epic showdown between these two dinosaurs, okay? Oh gosh, what happened? All right, there I am.
AnthonyHOST
There I am back.
