A theropod dinosaur which, due to recent finds, currently holds the coveted title of "biggest meat eating dinosaur", displacing Giganotosaurus, which in turn displaced Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Spinosaurus was relatively obscure among the general public until it was featured in the film Jurassic Park III, where it replaced the T-Rex as the film's primary antagonist, appearing on JPIII's logo and and killing one in a breif fight near the beginning of the film. This defeat, however, did little to sway the popularity of T-Rex; indeed, many fans reacted negatively to the outcome of the fight. Dinosaur fans often debate the true outcome of such a battle, though in reality it could never take place due to the Spinosaurus and Tyrannosaurus living on different continents and existing millions of years apart from eachother. It is generally thought that the Tyrannosaurus' superior jaw strength would give it an advantage in such a battle.
However, the depiction of the Spinosaurus in JPIII as an unstoppable superpredator was inaccurate. Its delicate, bony dorsal fin and long, gator-like snout armed with straight, peglike teeth (as opposed to the ribbed, serrated fangs of theropods such as T-Rex), indicate that this beast was a specialised icthyovore as opposed to a hunter of large dinosaurs, growing massive on a diet of fish, as well as pterosaurs, crocodiles and just about anything else it could swallow whole.
Spinosaurus is closely related to Baryonyx and Suchomimus, but not to the similar looking Dimetrodon, which lived before the age of the dinosaurs.

i love my school, even more, i love where my campus is located.....
i found out what the 2 giants gray steel doors down the street are for, about 30-40 years ago, providnece was flooded from the naragansett bay, the water covered the whole city about 3-4 feet deep, probably didnt help that half pf providence used to be the bay, but got filled in, but ya know. so they have the doors to control the flooding. hey what a good idea! the only problem is, we are on the wrong side of the doors, lol, great! then ot the north of my campus once stood a salt pile that was easily 150 feet high, just beyond that is a sewage refinery plant, which smells excellent, to the east of us, theres salvage yards, and some docks for cargo ships, and huge tanks filled with methane for who knows what. to the south, we have one of the most polluted bays in the north east, and to the west we are surrounded by the ghetto, litterally. and also to the north east we have about 50 or so gigantic tanks of natural gas. oh! and to top it off, my campus is right in the middle of the number 2 most likely spot for a terrorist attack. thats awesome! i could die at any time! in so many ways!! I FUCKIN HATE THIS GOD DAMN STUPID SCHOOL!!!
and thats just the area around the school, dont even get me started about the school itself...
