Oh, what a great dinosaur to talk about! And also a great conversation topic! Well, im going to let you guys know where i stand in size and what not, so be prepared!

Spinosaurus, hence the dinosaur i got my name from. Lets me get started on size, shall we? The places where i get my estimations are purely through what ive saw on most sites that have its size stated and also through observations of animals it has similarities with. All in all, i believe its size is up to 60 ft in length and 14 or 15 tons at most. My reason being is there is no reason for a carnivore to be long and not have weight and height, as well as a bunch of muscle to go along with that length. Length and predation do not mix well, at all, end of story. Which brings me to my second point, which i have stated many times in the past, a land predator that large simply does not rely on the smallest prey in an ecosystem, and also, somthing that large needs to feed almost constantly to keep the energy it needs to kill more/defend itself from intruders. 

Fish and small dinosaurs would not be enough to satisfy this enormous carnivore's hunger, so it would most likely resort to eating the much larger individuals of the dinosaurs in the area. Yes, it's skull shape insists it was adapted to capturing fish, but i look at it as more of an accesory to further satisfy its large appetite. 

This information i dont look at as merely just OPINIONS, i look at them more as highly educated guesses as to what this dinosaurs was and how it lived, and to add another thing, this is obviously nothing that is meant for starting and arguement, so please, people with strong opinions against this, tread very lightly with what you say, or i will notify you about it and depending on how aggressive you are towrds it, i will not hesitate to give you that same back, but through PM's.

Cat, if fish saw something that big underwater, do you think they would stick around to see if would eat them or not? Hell to the no they wouldnt, and a Spino swimming faster than a fish? I would totally disagree on that.

It would appear Spino would be one of the less aquatically tied Spinosaurs as well

So then it would go on land and ambush the hadrosaurids.

Do you know the croc technicke of waiting, thats one of the reasons they didn't use to mush energy compared to their size, spino could of had skin the color of sa a swamp and whait for fish or small prey to get near, that whay he dosrn't use a lot of energy and have sucesfoul hunts

It's an interesting idea, and perhaps a tactic it actively used, because Predators don't want to expend a lot of energy running down their prey, they want to make it quick and easy, without getting injured

There have barely ever been any topics about Spino, unless it was being put down in some way by someone on the opposite team.

He's right though Cat, i've mentioned it two or three times, and other then that it's been in multiple fights and posts being negatively posted about it, which is unfortunate because it certainly was a magnificent creature.

Why are we bringing in MODs to this discussion? I say what is to be said on this discussion, you know why? Because i created it! And i will not have it closed due to people bringing in unrelated topics, end of story.

People really think I should be the next mod!?! Wow! I can't believe it. 

Also I think your estimates might be a little off, but it's an estimate.
