New question: Could Mapusaurus form a successful predator prey relationship with Palaeoloxodon namadicus (or coexist at least)?

Bump New question: Could Mapusaurus form a successful predator prey relationship with Palaeoloxodon namadicus (or coexist at least)? What is a "successful" predator prey relationship to you? A predator prey relationship is, per definition, a win-lose situation, success for the predator invariably means an unsuccessful prey, success for the prey invariably means an unsuccessful predator.

A predator prey relationship is, per definition, a win-lose situation, success for the predator invariably means an unsuccessful prey, success for the prey invariably means an unsuccessful predator. One that can maintain itself over time (ie: can the Mapusaurus and the elephants simultaneously hunt down elephants and deter Mapusaurus packs, respectively?) Just so that each can rely on the other similarly to lions and Cape buffalo

Since Mapusaurus is the agent in this sentence, I guess it means success from the Mapusaurus' perspective.
I'm undecided on it BTW. I still think stealth might be a problem, but not as much as I used to think before.

I don't know if stealth will be an issue whatsoever. How much stealth exactly does a 7-8 ton carnosaur need to land a bite on a 22 ton elephant?

Enough not to be detected from miles away. Then again, it had to hide from sauropods, too which is why I am not sure to which extent it would be a problem.
I can't answer anyway, since I have no good question myself.

I have a new one:
Could any big carnosaur (Mapusaurus, Giganotosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Tyrannotitan, etc) form a successful predator prey relationship with Elasmotherium?

I think Ceratosaurus would be better since the giants would hunt the unicorn unsustainably. Could Carnotaurus have hunted Pelorovis?

Yes, definitely.
Could Pachycrocuta and Megaraptor coexist?

jhgI don't see why not. Looks very much like a Gorgosaurus, which is very real. Could Dunkleosteus and Spinosaurus share the same feeding grounds?

Bump.
Could Dunkleosteus and Spinosaurus coexist in the same lagoon?

^ It really depends on how territorial and aggressive each species was. There's a wide gambit of such traits in both fish and reptiles. You'd have to think as apex predators, they'd likely both have relatively high levels of aggression, but it's purely speculation.

Maybe it would be comparable to relations between crocodilians and sharks today? I could envision Spinosaurus feeding on dead dinosaurs near the shore and shallow water fish species, while Dunkleosteus could stay in the depths and eat deepwater species. Though yes, they would likely both be aggressive. And they might fight over territory,
