A theropod that lived in Africa and Morocco 112.03 million years ago to
72. 1 million years ago in the Creatatious period. At first it was thought to be a full land dweller and with a build similar to the Tyrannosaurus Rex (Tyrant Lizard King) with a spine, but studies
later found that Spinosaurus had a more crocodile like snout and most likely lived and hunted near
water. But the same "closer to a T-Rex and mainly lived on land" idea was kept. As more more information was gathered, a new image of the Spinosaurus was made. The Spinosaurus was
changed phenomenally from the first idea. Now it is thought to be pretty much a full
water dweller only occasionally going out on land. Its arms were
long with
sharp,
hook-like claws to snag fish. And it did not
walk almost upright (the first idea of how the T-Rex walked, now proved wrong) it probably walked mostly on all fours (of course it would mostly swim). Its tail was also not thin and lizard-like. Instead it's tail was more like a paddle to help it swim, like a crocodile. It also hunted mainly fish, leaving less encounters with the Carcharodontasaurus, the other large predatory dinosaur that shared Spinosaurus's habitat. Though Carcharadontasaurus looked closer to a T-Rex. The end of Spinosaurus was caused by the earth warming up, the lakes and rivers that the Spinosaurus lived in dried up leaving no place for it to live and hunt.
I think Spinosaurus is the coolest
dinosaur!
