Isn't Das a lot smaller? youtu.be/QwiLI9ED1zk?t=21I know you once claimed him to weigh 1 t, but if you compare him to the adults, anything above 1 t seems like an overestimate to me (and even 1 t is a lot). Broken Jaw, on the other hand, bit a Torvosaurus and got away with it (admittedly with help, but still), so he's probably a lot larger. That, along with Little Das' low intelligence, should spell the Daspletosaurus' doom. Great thread, by the way. |

^Thanks!
Well, maybe 1.8 tons is an overestimation, but Broken Jaw seems to be MUCH more gracile than Little Das, and at length parity, I think Little Das would be about 2-2.5 times heavier (seriously, just watch both videos until you can pause with frontal view of both. Then you'll see what I mean). Based on that, I think broad parity isn't unreasonable.
Although the low intelligence does seem to be something of an issue for Little Das, wasn't that in regards to hunting? I'm not sure what it would cause in a fight, but likely several slip ups/false moves. Then again, Broken Jaw's namesake could also be a downfall.
Probably comes down to inferior intelligence vs inferior weaponry. I'm undecided ATM.

I've watched both Dinosaur Planet and Dinosaur Revolution, but it's been a while, so forgive me for any mistakes I make.
As mentioned above, Little Das makes some costly mistakes when hunting, like bumping into his mother when she had Buck (male juvenile Maiasaura) well in place. He roars at an Einiosaurus herd, prompting them to stampede and scare away some Maiasaura his family was hunting, resulting in a failed hunt for them (okay, to be fair with the latter, I don't think he knew his mother and sisters were hunting). I'm guessing because he's young, he makes mistakes like these.
Broken Jaw's most impressive feat is arguably surviving the whip to his jaw as a hatchling. The fact that he survives to be an adult with such an incapacitating injury all by himself suggests that he has far more...I don't know, grit? And certainly greater acumen in killing other animals, since again, he survived all those years all by himself, initially with a broken jaw (that later healed), hunting and probably fighting increasingly more dangerous prey and enemies as he grew up. I don't think his deformed jaw as an adult would be that big of a deal, considering he, again, had to have killed many prey animals with a broken and later healed jaw throughout his life. We actually see him bite off the whip-like distal end of the Dinheirosaurus' tail off, as well as bite the neck of the Torvosaurus that seemed to be even larger than he was.
There's probably more I can say about these two, but that would necessitate me refreshing my memory and watching both documentaries again. For now, though, I think I can say this. One of the combatants in this scenario is a clumsy, uncoordinated kid with limited fighting experience and dependency on his family (a mother and two older sisters) to survive. Sure, he has to survive in a savage, rugged environment, but so does his opponent. Except said opponent has been surviving in his own savage, rugged environment all by himself at a very young age, starting off with an injury that could easily have been crippling or even lead to his eventual death.
Broken Jaw wins IMO.

Well, I am now convinced Broken Jaw wins this.
In fact, this might be a mismatch given the juvenile habits and high idiocy of Little Das.
I think, tomorrow, I shall make Broken Jaw vs Gorgon. That may be better.
