Jurassic Fight Club (Dinosaur Secrets in Europe) is a television documentary series that aired onThe History Channel. The basic plot involvesdinosaurs fighting. Each episode usually has two or more individual dinosaurs fighting with one another over food, territory or mating rights. The show is "hosted" by paleontology expertDinosaur George Blasing, who plays outhis own imaginary scenarios on how the fights would go.

• Ape Shall Never Kill Ape: Averted hardin theMajungasaurus episode.
• Anachronism Stew: A mild case,Dromaeosaurus andTyrannosaurus living together. However when the animators had to cut corners, they did reuse many CGI models that shouldn't belong in the time period the episode is set in.
• Animated Adaptation: Believe it or not. It's titledDinosaur George and the Paleo Team. George has uploaded the first (and so far, only) "episode" to hisYouTube account, in which his animated self travels back in time to encounter the downgraded CGI dinosaur models of this series. Further episodes are inDevelopment Hell.
• You Fail Biology Forever: Predators driving off potential prey over 200 times their size because they are territorial. Eh?
  • Predators trying to drive off potential rivals by spilling food all over their territory. Eehh??
  • Sharks using their denticles (scales) to taste.Eeehhh???
• Badass: Most, if not all, of the creatures here are.
• Beware My Stinger Tail:Gastonia andStegosaurus.
• Content Warnings: Every episode starts with this or something to the same effect (the last episode replaces "battle" with "apocalypse"):

"The following is a graphic depiction of a violent prehistoric battle. Viewer discretion is advised."

• Eats Babies:The motherMajungasaurus eats her dead baby after the male majungasaur kills it.
  • ACeratosaurus kills and eats a juvenileStegosaurus.
• Everything's Better With Dinosaurs:
• Everything's Even Worse with Sharks: TheMegalodon episode.
• Everything's Worse With Bears: Theshort-faced bear has an episode.
• Feathered Fiend:Dromaeosaurus andUtahraptor, though they were depicted as onlysparsely feathered. AlsoDeinonychus, although it's shown withno feathers at all.

  • Theallosaurs andUtahraptor from both shows have near-identical color schemes.

  • A youngStegosaurus is also killed by aCeratosaurus.
• Insane Troll Logic: Parodiedhere.
• Mama Bear: The motherMajungasaurusuntil the male kills its baby. The femaleTyrannosaurus also qualifies.
• Megalodon: Fights against the biting sperm whaleBrygmophyseterand wins.
• Noisy Nature: Holyheck. Though Dinosaur George himself knows how unrealistic this is.

• Raptor Attack:Dromaeosaurus andUtahraptor were depicted as only sparsely feathered, whileDeinonychus is shown with no feathers at all.

• Shown Their Work: All of the talking heads.
  • Larry Witmer's CAT scans of the dinosaurs' skulls, showing which senses were more developed than others in each individual creature.
  • The skull of the show'sEdmontosaurus is similar to that ofAnatotitan, which is probably an aged specimen of the former.
• Somewhere a Palaeontologist Is Crying: WhenSteve Alten is one of yourTalking Heads, you know you've got a problem. To be specific:
  • Naked raptors.
  • Wrong forelimb posture on all of the theropods.
  • Giving a horn to a dinosaur that got famousbecause it lacks this feature.
  • Depicting a youngT. rex as a downscaled version of the adults, even though even the narrator (correctly) claims otherwise.
• Stock Dinosaurs:Tyrannosaurus rex,Allosaurus,Stegosaurus,Ceratosaurus,Edmontosaurus,Utahraptor, andDeinonychus (which is the dinosaur commonly thought to beVelociraptor by the general public) all appear in it.
  • Strangely,Triceratops doesn't make an appearance, althoughPachyrhinosaurus fills much the same role.
• Stock Footage
• Tail Slap:Camarasaurus,Tenontosaurus, andEdmontosaurus are all shown to do this (or trying to).
• Talking Heads
• The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: The subject of one episode, which was appropriately calledHunter Becomes Hunted. It centered around a pair ofCeratosaurus and anAllosauruswith the latter killing both of the former.
• Too Dumb to Live:Nanotyrannus sticking around after thefemale Tyrannosaurus shows up. Also,Ceratosaurus attackingAllosaurus instead of running away.
  • TheDromaeosaurus pack arguably qualifies as well, attacking prey over 200 times their sizebecause they're territorial. (Possibly subverted, as they somehowsucceed.)
• Tyrannosaurus Rex: Appears in four episodes, including the series finale.
• Zerg Rush: The hunting style ofDeinonychus andDromaeosaurus.
