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.
