Troodon were Canadian relatives of Velociraptor. They were only slightly bigger -- about the size of a large dog -- but for them to hunt a T.rex is a joke. Still way too small.

What is this Jurassic Park: Survivor thing? Sounds pretty stupid.

Yeah it probably is stupid, nothing can prey on a rex besides maybe a larger rex and even then predators don't normally cannibalize each other except under harsh conditions.

How is this...

Anyway, Tyrannis is right, predatory instinct dictates that carnivores pursue the item of prey that will provide the least threat of injury to themselves. Predators avoid all-out combat whenever possible because they have to avoid injury in order to hunt effectively. An injury from fighting could jeopardize a carnivore's ability to kill prey, which in turn could jeopardize their very lives.

Spinosaurus vs. T.rex in JP3? Flies in the face of nature. If the film had been a bit closer to realism, there'd just be a lot of posturing, bellowing, & false charging before one of them backed down or was chased off. They wouldn't have mindlessly plowed headlong into combat like they did (especially when the T.rex already had a kill all to itself).

No. It's an overexaggeration.

Isn't that the european version of t-rex or am I mistaking that with a different dino.

You must be thinking of something else. There are no Tyrannosaurus from Europe.
