The largest predatory dinosaur ever – T. rex is toast!

The paleontologists,Paul Sereno and National Geographic 2014 Emerging Explorer Nizar Ibrahim, are reconstructing a complete skeleton of the Spinosaurus.

"In this exhibition, you can explore a full-sized skeletal model as well as genuine dinosaur fossils and learn about the latest technologies modern paleontologists use. Travel with National Geographic explorers and scientists to the remote edges of the Sahara to discover the origins of this rare African dinosaur and the mysterious journey that led to its rediscovery."

Just noticed something ridiculous.

They say in the article that spinos spines were up to 7 feet long.

The longest one we have found is 5.4 feet long -_-.

That, and look at those legs! They're so short! I know spinosaurs didn't have really long legs, but wow. Plus that sail is very square, haha

Wow, how do they expect those legs to hold "the biggest carnivorus dinosaur" as they say. And the sail looks much more like a hump then a sail. Maybe they should change the name to humposaurus, haha.
