Allosaurus gives the finger but T-Rex wins the fight

Allosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex lived 80 million years apart, but if they were to fight (god forbid) in some Jurassic Park type disaster, T-Rex would walk away the winner. There are a couple differences between the two theropods that ensure a T-Rex victory.

Maybe not the best place to stand...

1. Size does matter... in dinosaur fights. T-Rex was much larger than the Allosaurus
2. T-Rex had a stronger jaw than it's younger cousin and could wolf down 500 lbs a time (ouch!)
3. T-Rex was more agile than Allosaurus, and would be able to maneuver around the Allosaurus' attacks

The only thing Allosaurus had on T-Rex was an additional finger, but with 30 inch arms on a 12 foot tall body, one extra finger doesn't really make a difference. It would be pretty dumb of any dino to take on the T-Rex.
