against a large allosaurus like the one shown in the comparison, this is rather a mismatch. even the average allosaurus would win comfortably. it simply has much better weapons. It isn't a mismatch, you are simply overrating Allosaurus fragilis and underestimating Carnotaurus sastrei. We are BACK to that stage where a dinosaur must be traditionally underrated. |

You even said it yourself that it is a minor advantage, why are you bringing it up? Why not exactly? Because you admitted it yourself that it is a minor advantage, so bringing it up is rather pointless. |

According to you everything has a point, thus what I said can't be pointless.

2.4 tons is not a freakishly large Allosaurus, it is an 8.8 metre long specimen which is fairly average. I didn't mention that specimen in particular, why do you keep taking words out of people's mouths? I was talking about the Epanterias specimen, which you support as a large Allosaurus fragilis specimen. I am using averages. And we can't use a freakishly large Carnotaurus specimen because we don't have one. |

That Allosaurus in that comparison I posted is 9.7 metres long, theropod scaled the big al computer analyse up and got a 3.2 ton estimate for that animal which is a ton heavier than any carnotaurus specimen I know of.

And we can't use a freakishly large Carnotaurus specimen because we don't have one. Replying to your other post: REASON, not POINT. I know we don't have a freak specimen, but you are missing the point. It obviously had freak specimens, so my point is that you are wrong by saying it was no more than 2 tons, technically. @sporerex: Yes, scaling from an immature and less robust specimen, so that is a minimum. Allosaurus: The point still stands, you do underrate the abelisaurid against other predators. |

Against a 3+ ton Allosaurus it pretty much is a mismatch

Could we say that Allosaurus had a greater agility than Carnotaurus because of C. sastrei be bulkier? Agile and fast are not the same thing.

The allosaurid wins this, but it's far from an easy fight; the abelisaurid has its own advantages, and its bite wasn't to be underestimated.
