¨The biggest and the baddest among meat-eating dinosaurs, Spinosaurus may have also been the first dinosaur to take to the water, swimming in North Africa's rivers some 97 million years ago, researchers reported on Thursday.¨

Nature doesn't deceive us; it is we who deceive ourselves.

I recently watched a miniseries that expanded/updated the old Walking with Dinosaurs series. It presented a unique view of Spinosaurus:

Spino was bipedal, with large, powerful arms and claws good for grabbing and ripping. Spino primarily ate fish, and hunted by wading out into a stream and lowering its snout partway underwater. Its high nostrils allowed it to maintain this pose, the pressure-sensitive organs would alert Spino to prey (read: 10 ft fish), and its conical teeth were excellent for grabbing fish (but not slicing flesh or crushing bone). Spino would haul the fish out of the water, and use its arms and claws to rip up the fish so it could eat it. (check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTzfaY2kx0U)

While I understand people may not like the theory that Spino was a fish-eater, its anatomy really supports the theory. Also, fossils of Spino jaws with fish barbs have been excavated.

yup it looks like a dragon, but there are some problems with the new reconstruction look scott hartman article to get more information, and a animal with that lenght couldn't weight 3 or 5 tons, he weighted 8+ tons and probaly he was not a fully quadrupedal animal

As expected. I hated the Spino in JP3. Too muscular and heavy. I think it's a far more interesting creature as an aquatic carnivore. Cool pix.

Looking back this honestly makes Spinosaurus a much more interesting creature. Unlike boring and expected traits of other dinosaurs, Spinosaurus was special. Like it said in the documentary, Spinosaurus is finally able to take its place among the giants, with the 60% fossil completeion.

It just makes me happy to see a creature like this finally get a place among the "big ones."

:)

IT'S TIME TO DU-DU-DU-DU-DUEL!!!
