REX FAN 684 - Most certainly! The new perspective that's been placed upon Spinosaurus renders it, in my opinion, an infinately more interesting animal. I certainly believe it was an apex predator beyond reproach from just about any other theropod of its era. I can definately imagine this animal being the absolute tyrant of its domain; nothing would transpire without its scrutiny. I also happen to believe that everything else in its environment was absolutely terrified of it - making a trip to the water's edge a life or death decision! Not only that, but in the instances in which Spinosaurus would venture onto land, I've a general opinion that it could take prey with relative ease - making it a double threat for the fauna of its environ! :)

Thanks Allo.

And SR, indeed, one can always dream.

No problem. I find these theories make Spinosaurus far more interesting than ever before. I talked to Peter Larson about the mating behavior I came up with and he told me I was right to use modern relatives as a reference.

REX FAN 684 - Yup. That'll about signal the end to my delusions of ever owning one of those. Ah, well; a girl can always dream about marauding through the wastes upon so magnificent an iron steed! ;)

ALLOTITAN - I'm fairly in line with your sentiment. Given the nature of this beast, it was likely a fierce guardian! :)

REX FAN 684 - An extremely compelling viewpoint! I happen to believe that, if the Spinosaurus was an aquatic quadruped, your theory neatly matches up with what its physiology would suggest - especially for an animal of such size! Hmm, your statement about this animal taking smaller prey that drew too close to the water's edge has presented an interesting spin-off thought. With a quadrupedal configuration, Spinosaurus is incredibly front-heavy - especially given its powerful forelimbs and massive head. Is it possible that Spinosaurus was designed specifically to snatch prey from the shores with those massive claws and gripping teeth - perhaps like a crocodile lying in wiat for prey? The animal wouldn't require powerful hind limbs for such a lifestyle; it's powerful hands and jaws would make short work of anything onto which they latched. Perhaps the Spinosaurus utilized its jaws to hold onto its prey while its powerful claws tore it to pieces? This is something I'll certainly consider for future theories! Thank you for spurring this line of thought! :)

Wow that's a great find. Wonder if it's just Mercedes or like JP where there are possibly more brands.

Interesting theory. I myself believe it was more like a crocodile, protecting its nest.

Good fight rooting for Mapusaurus!

Yikes, maybe around 372914.02-382236.87 pounds(600,000-615,000 US dollars). That's what I found online at least.

Sure thing. I think I know how I'll view Spinosaurus now. Personally, I think it walked on all fours most of the time using it's knuckles. When courting a mate, it'd take the water and use it's sail in an elaborate water dance. This was a huge, 6 ton predator that hunted mostly in the water, occasionally taking out small prey that wandered too close to the water. When a female laid it's eggs, she'd build a large nest for them and watch over them until they hatched like a crocodile. When they hatched, the young would head for the water and stay in their mother's territory until they were big enough to fend for themselves, though the mother wouldn't directly protect them. 

That's just my opinion/theory though.

MYSTIQUE and REX FAN 684 - That's a brilliant-looking vehicle! This girl could have one wild afternoon in the desert with that bloody monster! I know I shouldn't posit this question as it will likely result in my dreams being dashed to flaming pieces for the remainder of my life, but how much do you suppose that vehicle runs, price-wise, in pounds? :)

REX FAN 684 - That's beautiful! I've seen that image in National Geographic - but never with such resolution and clarity! Thank you so much for providing this! :)

Thanks :)

Mercedes G36.

Interesting post Rex Fan.

It's a Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6

Yeah. Saw this pic and thought of it could be a good representation of it...

REX FAN 684 - Out of curiosity, what is the name of that six-wheeled vehicle presented for Jurassic World? It's rather magnificent! :)

REX FAN 684 - What a beautiful image you've evoked! I'd absolutely love to see a pair of animals as massive and beautiful as Spinosaurus performing a water-borne dance. Can you imagine the fluidity and grace they'd have to utilize in order to avoid harming one-another during the courtship? When you're that size, even a little romantic waltz could be dangerous if you're not careful! ;)

Which is exactly why im considering watching it as well lol, it definately seems interesting enough.

Display for mates is a possibility. Seeing a 6 foot, colorful sail, sticking out of the water would be quite something. Maybe males and females did dances in the water like modern crocs and some birds do. Swimming up alongside each other and such. T.rex flashed feathers and did a dance like a bird of paradise while Spinosaurus swam around and changed it's sail's colors.

REX FAN 684 - Now that's an interesting thought! Hmm, if the animal's sail possessed the capability to change color (via chromatophores), that would open another and incredibly diverse line of thinking! To what extent could the animal alter its exterior coloration, and what purpose would such an adaptation serve? I've no doubt that Spinosaurus was the biggest and baddest customer in its environment, thus I doubt such an ability would be for protection. However, like certain ambush predators, changing color as a means to go unnoticed by prey is a facet I'd consider heavily! :)

No problem SR :)

I could just be looking to deeply into this of course, or I could be right. Either way, like you said, it's something to think about :D

REX FAN 684 - What a very interesting premise! Hmm, I'm uncertain of what to make of the implications you've brought to light. Certainly, there very well could be a subtle reference we're not yet fully comprehending! How compelling! Thank you for bringing this thought-provoking concept to us! :)

I actually kinda was hoping for a mosasaur, yeah its the original t-rex logo but since spino was on the 3rd movies logo because he was the newest added dino. i was hoping the same thing for mosey ( My mosasaurs name on the fossils and archaeology mod for minecraft).

Indeed. It'd be quite the display structure in the water as well. Changing color and such. Many possibilities. 

REX FAN 684 - Indeed! That assumption is incredibly fun to play with in its myriad possibilities! I happen to think the sail might have partially functioned something like a rudder for this animal - helping it navigate with more fluidity while diving to greater depths. Perhaps Spinosaurus sometimes hunted within the far reaches of the ocean - seeking large prey for which only it was adapted to stalking? The variations are endless - and quite fun to consider! :)

Everything about Spinosaurus(except the sail) suggests a lifestyle not completely unlike that of a crocodile, so nesting behavior that's similar in nature isn't impossible. I like that theory the most, but that's just me :D

ULTRA PREDATOR - How very interesting!It's nice to see that you're back in the saddle again for your series! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! :)

Spinosaurus Rex,
I don't know why you wouldn't want to sit through Intersteller regardless. It looks fantastic. The trailer would just be the cherry on top of that experience. Or should be.

It's beautiful

Thanks guys. :)

Hey friends...I am Amey from India

Mine fev Dino is T rex

& movie is Jurassic Park 1

Its almost more than 20 years...but still JP1 excites me like crazy!!!

SCI-FI KING25 - That was an incredibly fun battle! I was hoping the Mapusaurus would turn out to be the victor! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us! :)

CARNOSAUR - How very neat! It appears that you've put quite a bit of thought into your work; quite excellent! Thank you for presenting this to us! :)

TYRANT KING - What an excellent battle! Thank you so very much for sharing this with us! :)

NOAH ECKECKENRODE - You make a very interesting observation here! Definately something to keep in mind going forward! :)

glad y'all liked it!

@rexfan,i'm currently working on that one...people are hard to draw though haha.

Be sure to look for it in the next few days!

Looking forward to the fights. Whatever fight its in, I'll be rooting for Rex. 

Better than anything I could ever draw.
