Ok, so you may be asking, "count for what?" Well, should it count as a terrestrial dinosaur. Clearly this animal spent a lot of time in the water, so should it be counted as an aquatic dinosaur instead? Polar Bears for example are, by definition, marine mammals. If you count Spinosaurus as an aquatic dinosaur, not a land one, then it technically couldn't be the biggest LAND carnivore ever. Perhaps a better question would be if it's the biggest carnivorous dinosaur in general(I don't think so, but that's up to debate and you all know how I think). Anyways, this wasn't meant to be a debate on whether it was the biggest theropod and what not, but rather how it should be classified. I'm leaning toward the aquatic dinosaur classification myself(like a Polar Bear is a marine mammal)...

Glad to see your back Mr. Happy:) Anyways I do not think Spinosaurus should count, as I stated in my post earlier.

There is no such thing as a pure predator. A meat-eater is eit

Lovely.... Since you guys can't seem stop fighting with each over these posts, I am going to have to ban them for awhile. I am dead serious too, any Spino vs Rex posts will be deleted on sight. You guys want to act like children then you will be treated like children.

Gman warned you guys to cut the crap, *AL* warned you guys to stop fighting, now I am stepping in. Seriously, I can't believe it's come to this, is it so hard to be civil with one another???

Locking this and don't bother PM'ing me, my decision is made.
