Which dinosaur kills the Tyrannosaurus rex in Jurassic Park III?

Spinosaurus kills the Tyrannosaurus rex in Jurassic Park III.

The confrontation occurs on Isla Sorna after Alan Grant and the other survivors encounter a large Spinosaurus. The film presents the animal as a dominant predator, and it defeats a Tyrannosaurus rex during a short but memorable battle.

Jurassic Park III was released in 2001 and directed by Joe Johnston. Unlike the first two films, it was not based directly on a completed Michael Crichton novel, although it uses characters and ideas from the Jurassic Park world. Sam Neill returned as Dr. Alan Grant.

The scene is fictional and reflects the franchise’s dramatic storytelling rather than a confirmed encounter between the species. Spinosaurus lived in the Cretaceous Period, while Tyrannosaurus rex lived later, so the two did not coexist in real life.
