#carcharodontosaurids

When I was a kid Tyrannosaurus rex was my all time favorite dinosaur, and is still in my top three

The other two are Carcharodontosaurids. The first is this one.

Acrocanthosaurus not only is actually native to North America, but is something of a real life mashup of aspects of all the elements of the 'classic scary giant theropod.' A spine like a Spinosaurid, size to rival Tyrannosaurus, and the basic elements of the super-allosaurid sauropod hunters the Carcharodontosaurids were.

It's become one of my favorite theropods precisely for this reason and makes an ideal creature for a vision of the dinosaur era.

The other one is Giganotosaurus carolinii

Which is what it is because it's slightly bigger than Tyrannosaurus and was one of those creatures that made a habit of taking down some of the largest marvels ever produced by life on Earth. So seeing this creature on the big screen is one of the main things that makes Jurassic World Dominion an exciting movie for me. Two of my favorite dinosaurs squaring off in this movie's new Kaiju battle fashion.
