I didn't realize that the brain of the T-Rex was so developed. What other dinosaurs had psychic powers?

T-Rex only had one Wish spell slot so he couldn't cast that again. The Spino has +1/+1 counters that stack when it envenomates other animals so at that point it had extremely potent venom.

I'm seeing some misconceptions about the nature of Tyrannosaurs' "Need Power". Many people mistakenly, but understandably, think that Ankylosaurus was flipped by a headbutt, but if you read carefully, that cannot be the case. If the headbutt has flipped it, the book would subsequently read that "T. rex NEEDED to flip it over". That isn't what it says. After the headbutt, T. rex still "NEEDS to flip it over". And then, just like that, it was done. The power is real! Happy Dinosaur December!

T-wrecks charges spinosaurus, but slips on a banana peel. While T-wrecks is down, spinosaurus leaps forward and bites t-wrecks. T-wrecks is wrecked, hence it's name. But the fight is not over! As spinosaurus springs back, it slips on a fish it had killed earlier, falls, hits its head on a rock and fractures its skull and the C-0 to C-5 vertebrae, killing it. The dead fish wins! Bet you didn't see that coming, did ya sucker? Always put your money on the dead fish. They have so many ways to kill, especially being slippery, and also not being mentioned in the match description. Pretty tricky, those dead fish!!

Nice to see that the extreme Spinosaurus overhype is still going strong more than 20 years after JP3

34:54 I absolutely LOVE that they’re giving us *”deep lore”* for some of the dinosaurs now….🤣

Love how Clint slowly surrounds himself with dinosaur models!

"Sauropod type dinosaur" has the same vibes as "Grass type Pokémon"

As a Trex myself, I have to admit, I just needed you to read the book way more than winning.

NO not "who would win" again! 😂 I've been a long-time subscriber since 1000 subs. Thanks for suffering through this Clint. Yesterday was my birthday...I couldn't have asked for a better gift 😆

The T-Rex is forklift certified. That’s how it flipped over the ankylosaurus.

Honestly a movie about a venomous Spinosaurus fighting a telekinetic T-Rex would go insane

Poor, sweet Clint guessing this could come down to anything other than the age-old question of whether t-rex would beat spinosaurus in a fight 😂

You should do The Ultimate Shark Rumble. That one killed me!😂

A note to the publishers: Please write more of these books. Many more. And make them progressively over the top. It gives me great amusement to watch Clint reviewing them. MMMMWWWWOOOOAAAA!!!!

I love how he surrounds himself with tiny dinosaurs for emotional support

You know when you love a character but the fandom takes them and mischaracterizes them to the point they're barely recognisable anymore? That's what it's like being a spinosaurus lover just leave my sweet fishy boy alone ;-; Love these videos Clint, please take the time to heal and recover after this one...

Uh oh, not another one of these books.. With that said, I adore the way you cover dinosaurs! It’s clear you hold a passion for them equal to your love for modern day reptiles. I’m excited for what Dinosaur December has in store this year..

I love how Clint kept mocking the ludicrousness of the first two books throughout the video.

Poor Clint, he was so full of life before being introduced to this series, now he's bordering on a mental breakdown. Someone help this man.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see they've given a fair chunk of the herbivores a hand up the competition, even if it does mean my absolute favorite, Utahraptor, was turned into mincemeat

Spinosaurus: "It's over, Styra! I have the speed!" Styra: "I hate you!!!" Spino: "Don't try it, Styra! You were the chosen sauropod! You were meant to balance reptilian evolution! Not destroy it!"

12:44 - 13:00 Clint rapidly descending into madness 😂 Ah Clint, you're risking your own life just to give us the Dinosaur December. Thank you

I love that the artist apparently couldn't do an allosaurus no matter what, so they just used a couple images of a Papo allosaurus toy instead.

YES! Dinosaur December! AND a rumble? Joys upon joys!

You can tell what the fashion was in Paleontology when these books were written and indeed when Jurassic Park Movies were made! 😂

And then to celebrate it's victory Spinosaurus took a swim, but then hundreds of man o wars showed up and Spinosaurus inhaled one and was stung to death from the inside. Man O War wins the Dinosaur Rumble.

I'm suprised the Supersaurus could turn around unlike some of the other dinosaurs

“Did I step on a lego?!” 😂😂😂

I thought a chuckwalla would appear and throw a rock at the Spino, killing it

Supersaurus “eew I got goo on my foot.” Proceeds to wipe off on rock.

As soon as I saw that both T Rex and Spinosaurous were in the competition we all knew what the final battle would be.

My African grey watched this attentively, as she does with dinosaur videos. I'd say she concurs with your assessment. And I'm not kidding about watching intently. She sat there fascinated by it, and I think it's safe to say that she really likes this channel :)

This is definitely one of the books of all time

Spinosaurus would lose all those fights because it's too busy trolling paleontologists

With the ridiculousness of these books, I was expecting micropachyceplalosaurus to pull a RULES OF NATURE !!! on supersaurus

Let's hope they make more of these books so Clint can react to them!

This man ignites my learning drive like nobody else!! Keep on keeping on you wonderful teacher!! ❤

I don’t like how everyone just factors in the spinosaurus’ jaw, instead of those massive forelimbs with massive claws that would do far more damage and would put the spinosaurus at less risk than the mouth would

We need a Clint version of these. Where fans come up with the tournament and Clint does the verdicts.

my friend's daughter came over with a list of books to get from a school fair and I saw these books mentioned. She had them circled as something to get and I told her about these videos and advised her not to waste her money on them, so while you hate having to read these books, at least you are doing good at preventing some young kids from getting incorrect information. Also Happy Dinosaur December.

God bless you, Clint. Your determination to keep reading the equivalent of a kid bashing two action figures together inspires me.

35:39 The logic of this "battle" was so insane it literally broke Clint's brain. You're not alone, by the way; I literally said "wut" out loud when Ankylosaurus was flipped on its back.

I love how this book straight up took inspiration from the most controversial scene in jp3. I mean the spinosaurus even pins the trex in an unrealistic way to finish it off, absolutely incredible(not stupid at all).

So, I have some thoughts. I first wanted to ask for a referee to review the spinosaurus round one fight. It was clearly a violation of the ouch! Rule. But in further investigation I discovered that the Ultimate Dinosaur Rumble was published January 1st 2019. This is relevant because what we know of the Ouch! Rule came from the Ultimate Ocean Rumble, published September 1st, 2020. So I now hypothesis that the Ouch! Rule was introduced at some point between these two dates. While I could not find a published statement from the Ultimate Rumble governing body declaring the rule change, I have to assume this is what happened and Spinosaurus is the rightfully victor.

What a painful way to start dinosaur December... Thank you Clint for suffering through these for us. Looking forward to more dinos and dino phylogeny vids this month. Thank you for being an awesome science educator, i find your "Best pet for you" cids informative and has helped me determine my next reptile baby.

You just know 5 year old Clint would have clung to those books like his most treasured possession.

This was easily the best of the books so far. Most of the information was accurate and most of the fights had reasonable outcomes. It was not nearly so painful as the Ultimate Ocean Rumble. The decision to represent Spinosaurus as speedy was odd, but the focus on T. rex intelligence was a pleasant surprise. The last two fights were ridiculous, but not nearly so ridiculous as the sea turtle and orca losing to the man o' war.

My toddler and I loved this video (for different reasons though 😂). I was lulled into a false sense of hope by the beginning of the book and then was feeling the pain by the end. My toddler, however, loved it. She sat enthralled with her toy spinosaurus and yelled happily when she saw dinosaurs she knew. “Sauropod!” “Triceratops!” “A spinosaurus! Just like my own! Spinosaurus had sharp teeth and a long tail!” Thank you for enduring the pain, Clint.

T-Rex stands no chance against a chuckwalla. Chuckwalla is too small for the t-rex, the chuckwalla bites the t-rex's little toe and it dies.

With the Supersaurus v Micropachycephalosaurus, I remember a paper about how smaller dinosaurs may have died in the FOOT PRINTS giant sauropods leave behind, that they'd churn the ground into mud which smaller animals would get stuck in.

The authors probably felt like they needed to “subvert expectations” by not having Tyrannosaurus win

Oh boy... This is why I couldn't sleep well.. somehow I knew that Clint would be dropping this video. I'm so excited to watch this ! 😅

i would love to see clint take the book's advice and make his own ultimate rumble book with more interesting animals and more realistic, even matches

How i would fix the battles: Kentrosaurus vs Megalosaurus: Same outcome but the kentrosaurus would wack the Megalosaurus right in the face with its tail Ankylo vs Utah The utahraptor pounces on the back of the anky, but its unphased. It shakes the utah off its back and wacks it right in the jaw Yangchuan vs toro The yangchuansaurus sneeks up on the Torosaurus and bites its tail. Angerd, the toro charges, but the yangchaun dodges, biteing and dislocating its leg. Un able to move, the Torosaurus is eaten alive Supersaurus vs micropachy: No changes Giginotosaurus vs stego: The stegosaurus may be a threat from behind, but the giga likes to attack from the front. It bites the stegos neck, and with one rip, its neck is broken. Giga wind Rex vs tyrannotitan Both preditors encounter one another, and are angerd. They get into an intimidation battle, but ultimately neither wish to fight. The tyrannotitan is smaller and runs away, disqualifing himself. Spino vs styraco The spinosaurus sees the styracosaurus encroaching on its territory, and trys to scare it off. The styraco is desperate for water and trys to drink. The spino lands a chomp on its tail but the styraco kicks it right in the gob. The spino lets it drink, and disqualifies itself Allo vs apatasaurus The allosaurus is attempting the biggest hunt of its life. An adult apatasaurus is on the menu tonight. The allo sneeks up on the sauropod and lands small attacks before going back into hiding, slowly weakening the apatasaurus. After many hours the apatasaurus is to hurt to go on. Allo wins Ankylo vs kento Both of these armored herbivores are similar in abilities. They clash against each other, both whacking their sides, but ultimately the ankylos defenses and attacks are to much for the kentrosaurus Rex vs giga Littearly the exact same thing as the tyrannotitan vs rex fight happens. Rex wins Yangchaunosaurus vs supersaurus The supersaurus isnt even frightened by this comparatively tiny carnivore. One large bellow and the carnivore gets the memo. Dinner aint worth this. The yangchaunosaurus disqualifies its self and runs away. Spinosaurus vs apatosaurus The spinosaurus trys to scare off the apatosaurus but its no use. The apatosaurus whips the spino several times with its giant tail. The spino retreats, and is disqualified Spinosaurus vs supersaurus "Oh no not again" thinks the spinosaurus. 1 sauropod was bad enough but 2? Come on. The spino retreats and is disqualified Rex vs spinosaurus The rex takes a drink from the spinos home, but the spino is defending its territory. It surprises the rex with a sneek attack from the water and attempts to bite the tyrannosaurs neck. The tyrannosaurs thankfully dodges and tries to intimidate the spino. The clash for a while, the spino scraps at the rex with its claws, but the rex takes one chomp of the spinos neck an twists it. Tyrannosaurs rex wins. The official winner should have been supersaurus, but i decided to only fix the battles in the book

Watching your channel with my kids is always a blast thanks clint!

Thank you for sharing your pain. If it helps, if Ceratopsians are herd animals it may be instinctive for it to form a defensive perimeter with its herd mates like wild cattle do. When caught alone, it may not realize its flank is open immediately and fail to turn in time to stop an attack. Clearly these books suffer from the same writing problem of most modern media. It is made to be flashy but don't use too many words so you don't over burden the reader. In my youth books about dinosaurs were packed with information and excellent art work. I will say the T. Rex back story was a nice touch.

So, today I learned that Clint seems to handle reading these books much better when he has a couple of emotional support dinosaurs on his desk. Although he did continue to express some disapproval with the outcomes of a lot of the matches, he appeared to remain far less agitated while reading this book in comparison to the previous books. 🤣🤣🤣

What's that? OH MY GOD IT'S A CHUCKWALLA IN A SCUBA!

Can't wait for the video on Spinosaurus. Probably one of the most controversial dinosaurs when it comes to how it looked and lived

Like a T-Rex, I NEED to see more of these reactions!😆

The fury in which this man slaps this book every time he gestures is amazing. Every stupid answer is whittling away at his will to not maul the paper

Ultimate fight: Clint vs. kids' book! Anyways, great video; I love your stuff! You taught me a lot about zoology which is one of my favorite subjects.

Thank you and my condolences Clint! Your suffering is not in vain! These particular videos are as hilarious as they are painful. It would be the height of irony if Ultimate Rumble was about to go bankrupt before Clint started these videos only to see a massive rise in sales 😅

You should do a phylogeny video of all of the dinosaurs as a whole, all of the theropods (might favorite dinosaurian clade) as well as the entire clade of the birds! I’ve been fascinated with the dinosaurs since I was 11 when I first learned about the ties that birds have with them! 🦖 🦅

I like how this book repeatedly describes ceratopsians as slow turning and clumsy, yet the opposite was most likely true. Ceratopsians have front legs that are a bit more splayed out than their back legs, which made them really good at turning on a dime.

Clint should write his own "who would win" book 😂

uh oh, these books again! it was a real treat to see this new entry to the series today :) a shame the allosaurus didn't make it far. when i was little, i found the documentary about Big Al on a vhs in my local library, and watched it what must have been a hundred times, at least! i got really attached, and i'm still many years later very fond of the allosaurus :) thanks for suffering for our entertainment (and education!) again! :D

Clint's dark blue shirt is glitching. Does that mean...? Is this still fleshbag Clint? Or did AI Clint steal the sponsorship? Clint, blink three times if You are held against Your will. ❤

As someone who has a brontosaurus in space tattooed on their leg, I find it quite presumptuous of the authors not to have considered that the sauropod's would have activated their anti-gravity devices and slung meteors at the competition.

I cannot believe that Supersaurus didn't win, I lost as many braincells as you...

I’m so curious what Clint has to say about Spinosaurus. Happy Dinosaur December!

I have never clicked so fast 😂 Besides phylogenies, this is my favorite series!

7:33 Utah is looking to name its new hockey team, the Utah Plunderers has a certain ring to it :D

There were even dinosaurs on the sauropod side of the split that were still bipedal for a bit

I think we all agree Clint is one of are favorite Reptile RU-vidr's. Ankylosaurus is one of my favorite Dinos! And while it may be considered overrated by some T-Rex are also pretty stinkin' rad and are a solid 2nd place for me. I also love the controversy in the Dino fandom (academia 1st and foremost) about Spinosaurus and would not be surprised at all if someone writes an academic paper on Spinosaurus venom.

I find it very silly how the fights with ceratopsids play out in this book, because with their compact build I would imagine they were among the better herbivorous dinosaurs in terms of quickly turning around.

We got T-Rex childhood story, but they are not going to explain how Spinosaurus watched the crocodile hunter as a kid to know about that bite muscle thing?

I swear the moment Clint uttered the words Spino wins, the character on my TV flopped onto their bed and bawled their eyes out

I would personally pay Clint’s therapy bills for this series

On the positive side Clint....you have saved many of us from buying these books. They are available at all the local book fairs and now we no to just pass on by😂

Oh it's far from over. I think there's quite a good many of these. Because when I looked them up on Amazon, I found so many other than the three you did.

😂😂😂 It was right after the Salty and Stonefish battle that Clint was fully broken and began his spiralling decent into madness!! 😂😂😂

I'm going to be disappointed if the chuckwalla doesn't win. 🤭

Your color commentary and reactions as the book devolves are just so entertaining! With lots of education sprinkled in too. Sorry for your sanity, but I'm excited to watch the next installment!

I never knew Megalosaurus just meant "big lizard," lol. If you think "big lizard" cares about the paying customer, I've got news for you buddy.

bro this guy is such a trooper, i wish i had your videos as a kid, Bill nye is cool and all, but I wanted to know about biology alot more, and he just didnt cover it that often.

As soon as I saw this, I knew I needed to watch this! You’re honestly one of my favorite people on RU-vid

Dinosaur Decemberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Truly the most wonderful time of the year ❤

I laughed too hard at your comments and expressions for the whole duration of this video 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Guess what! I just learned there is also an ULTIMATE BUG RUMBLE!!

I love dinosaur December!!!🦖🦕

What a wonderful way to start dinosaur December 😂😂

My RU-vid recommendations are doing me right today. Just watched the first 2 to find this one released today. Ready for the nonsense!

There was literally no timeline where utahraptor stood a chance against ankylosaurus. Even if it could somehow ‘slash’ it’s ‘unprotected’ belly I doubt It would even cause that much damage

Clint, I think you need to watch the movie Leo and do a reaction video to the inaccuracies and things that make you angry. 😊 sincerely, all of us

My money's on chuckwalla!

Man, Spinosaurus must be a real racer if it can just casually back off from the reach of a 30m long dinosaur multiple times in a row. Like 12m/s? Must be nice to reach a consistent speed of ~43km/h while also dodging in and out and waiting for a pissed off 40 ton animal to bleed out.

Someone Please! Get him the last two books - shark rumble and bug rumble. I NEED this series (the ultimate post-schadenfreude disorder (PSFD) rumble that is) to be complete!
