Well, Africa was pretty swampy way back then. It's entirely possible that Spino was almost exclusively water based. Is it likely? Possibly. I always thought the thing was like 70% water based. That's just me though. 

Not really undisputed truth, I said "most likely". Also this is Paul Sereno's "opinion", so quite relevant.

You do have a point however, we cannot be sure just yet. Future finds will tell more. I honetly have no problem with this Spino, I'm not the kind of person that gets influenced by nostalgia.

I'm just stating this reconstruction brings a lot of sense to Spinosaurus. Just my opinion though ;)

Srex, pepole whre like that when they discovered dinos had feathers

I mean Spino a quadriped? No, just no, as all of the large quadriped predators died in the triassic, as well as it being purely a river wading animal? This article makes me want to laugh almost excessively as well as throw up at the same time.

It looks like a postosucus mixed with a dragon and a dimetrodon.

Well when i wahs joking that Spino wahs cuadrupedal it turended out true...

Haha, not to mention something only a mother could love, eh TK?

Wow, it is so small and a wuadrapedal animal.

It's amazing what evidence will do to change a person's view on something, is it not? Haha, I'm going to have a hard time accepting that if it is true, and that's coming from a "Rex Fan Extremist" as I've been dubbed apparently. Imagine what those mega-ultra Spino fanboys would have to say about this. Guess we won't find out since no one on these forums is like that. 

Dreams crushed? Uhhh no, this is just another opinion and its kinda bad that you look at it as the undisputed truth, this is definately one of the worst descriptions of Spino i have ever seen in my life.

i find its look kind of odd as well but also pretty cool. never thought of it as a quadruped 

True, but if he were real, he'd definately use it. And of course, both contestants are presumably going to take any advantage they can. So taking this into account, muldoon has slightly better weaponry, but absolutely no armor (no, his magic short-shorts do not count). And the maniac has quite a bit of armor (but is still quite agile mind you) And some decent weaponry. Sorry, but I doubt Muldoon can weasle his way out of this one.

*takes one look at the T-Rex* Fut the wuck? 

Anyway, looks like an interesting movie, but I hope there's bloodshed in it. 

EWWHHH I'm sorry, but spino is far more disgusting than I ever could've imagined.

Its even more waterbased and smaller than i tougth

Well, I see that to be most likely. I mean, Paul Sereno!!! :D

If that my friend, if that. 

Juggernaut Maniac, to be exact. Maniac for short. Or Juggernaut for short. Also, in ghosts, you can't use the pistol. 

Indeed MrHappy. I give Spino (as in that picture) 3 to 5 tons in weight.

Interesting for sure.

Couldn't help but snicker at this paragraph:

"Spinosaurus has almost no 'junk in the trunk,'" Holtz says, noting its narrow hips and short thighs. "This doesn't make much sense for a land animal that makes a living chasing other land animals. But if it is an animal that doesn't spend most of its time on land, but instead in the water, it doesn't need strong leg muscles."

And this image (in link provided by DinoSteve):

Intersting for sure, and what I'm getting of this is that Spino wasn't as powerful as some make it out to be. 

Um, not sure you know who the MANIAC is...

So yeah, heavily armored absolutely insane guy with a knife (and a pistol, look at his vest) vs jurassic parks designated BAD@$$...

Sorry muldoon, but this guy eats buckshot for breakfast.

Nice thread!

Juggernaut just has thick armour. Muldoon takes this.

Yes, the Juggernaut's armour is thick, but woopty fricken do, Muldoon has a shotgun, and all armour has weak points. One good shot to the weak point and it's lights out Juggernaut.

Here's more.

What could I say? Wow, that thing was uglier than expected. I'm just sorry for all the Spino fans, their dreams just crashed (not saying this in a malicious way).

Who is yaujta?

Okay, well, that was easier than expected,

And a Proper Link

That should about cover it.

Wow, this is literally the worst attempt to link something I've ever seen. Well, let the hunt, BEGIN!!

Kong. Without a doubt in my mind, kong. Why? The rancor was slow, and clumsy. Kong is a giant gorilla capable of scaling the empire state building in a handful of minutes, and the rancor is a giant bi-pedal lizard with awkward proportions. Kong was probably smarter too, seeing as he's an ape. In strength they are evenly matched, but kong beats the rancor in both speed and intelligence.

90% in favor of kong.

That is why he wines.

muldoon has a spas12, m1911, and bouy knife(in some varrieations its a mecheti) and the berserker has a tactical knife(simaler to the kabar)

thats pretty cool

Yeah, but the Yautja has thermal scanners and his weapons are far more powerful. Take them away, and it's a fair fight.

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaly? why?

The dragon is going to die soon, with a bad wing, he can't hunt. So it's a bit of a tie

Muldoon for the win.

And his friend is a dinosaur.

interesting...veeeeerry interesting.

whats the film called?

This looks really cool, something to tide us over as we wait for JW.  And finally some FEATHURED DINOSAURS!!!

And it's so funny how the kid quotes Dr Grant when the T.rex comes in, I mean HELLO?!  DISPROVEN THEORY!!!

but whats it called?
