I'm still of the opinion, that the Spinosaurus' Sail was, at least partially, for heat regulation. I mean, it doesn't necessarily matter, if it was just semi aquatic or spent large quantities of time in or under water, water tends to absorb your body heat and cooling you down, so it would be just really practical to just stick your back sail into the sun while floating or swimming at the surface to quickly heat your body back up once you start to get a bit chilly. Also, it could've used its Sail as a form of stabilizer, or whatever job the back fins of most fish, whales and dolphins serve.

Everyone loves a mystery, and this dinosaur has it all. Its true mystic power is how rare and fragmentary these fossils are in the geological record. I have many fossils from Tyrannosaurus rex and Spinosaurus, and the Spinosaurus bones hold my interest in regarding further study the most. They are extremely dense in cellular structure and difficult to find. Teeth are common but frequently confused with contemporary mid Cretaceous crocodiles found in the same sediments. Having lost the original Egyptian specimens make this animals fossils even more interesting. Fortunately, I have been in association with friends with several paleontology specialists who have directly collected specimens in Morocco. This allowed me to work on several important specimens, and I regard these fossils as my favorite work. Many collectors around Europe and North America have obtained these fossils online from Morocco. If you're one of these individuals, please share your knowledge with other collectors and paleontologists to continue this saga.

Biggest? Sorry no T-rex weighs more than spinosaurus weighs. Spinosaurus is listed as weighing 7.5 to 9 tons. There is an unpublished paper that claims 12 to 19 tons but because its an unpublished paper it must be ignored. TRex initially was thought to weigh up to 8 tons but new papers cite TRex weighing up to 15 tons. The 8 ton aspect comes from remains such as Sue that weighed in around 9 tons, but new studies believe 20% of TRexs were larger than Sue and Scotty which is the largest found at over 9 1/2 tons.

Personally, there’s something about the latest reconstructed skeleton that just doesn’t feel right, it is a reconstruction made of bone fragments found in different location, size and time period, as well as fragments of other theropod species, there are just too many missing links in it, if you look at the reconstructed image it just doesn’t look natural, especially the proportion of body, limb and tail.. it shows a bizarre looking creature that can hardly walk on land or swim well in water. But I understand this is the best version they can create basing on the latest evidence available. Hopefully there are more complete skeletons to be found so that they can create a most realistic image of spinosaurus

Whilst T-Rex has the strongest bite force of anything we know of. Spinosaurus's largest specimen NHMUK VP R-16421 is bigger than Scotty, the largest T-Rex specimen. We also have to account for Spinosaurus's tail; the largest for any theropod we know of. As well as its arms which only Therizinosaurus, which isn't carnivorous, even compares to. That's also not accounting for the fact that we know Spinosaurus could fight and potentially kill a Carcharodontosaurus with its bite, given the private collection specimen that has Spinosaurus teeth in a Carcharodontosaurus's vertebrae.

Those of us who have owned a 6 foot adult Iguana and taken it down to the clear tidepools at the coast know exactly how the Spinosaurus swam and how fast. The hip and shoulder joints aren't the same but the rest is a scale model of your dino. They even have small spines. My primary advice is to add far more stored fat to the base of the tail to balance the front of the animal as Iguanas do. And yes, Iguanas can and do run on only their hind legs using their tail as a counter balance weight.

There are a LOT more differences than that. The draft for one, a full sized Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus would need 9 feet of water to properly swim, due to it's height at the rear shoulder girdle.

The bipedal debate can't be put to rest yet. We have to remember dinosaurs lived for millions of years and evolved for much longer than humans and hominids have been around. See how much we changed shape? As shallow seas formed, dried-up, became Rivers, became wetlands, became shallow seas again - we're going to find out they did a simple thing to survive. They adapted. When it was better to be bi-pedal; they were, primarily. When it was better to be mostly aquatic - they were. Scientists, for some reason, stop thinking outside the box. They, of all people, should understand how subspecies split off - but then may still have viable offspring with each other, and hybridize as a survival strategy. Like wolves, dogs, and coyotes today.

I can really imagine the Spinosaurus to be an semiaquatic animal like a crocodile. Besides swimming through the water to catch prey like fish, it could also use a crocodile's hunting technic: Waiting near the shore, standing still to blend in. The neural spines could be used - 1. as camouflage to pretent to be a rock and / or 2. In a similar way a dolphin uses it's dorsal fin for stabilizing and / or 3. to feel movement in the water. It would wait for long times that another animal would come close and then it would attack the pray.

I like how he is actually showing the history of the discovery of spinosaurus not just the creature itself. 9:21 spinosauridae is a family not a group but it’s a minor detail. 9:50 a great piece of evidence for a fully aquatic spinosaurus 15:12 larger but not more massive (due to current estimates 16:30 more recent estimates put it at 7 tons 17:43 as surprising as it may sound this is actually accurate. Although the hump less so. Also you are directly reading off what the first search option says; www.livescience.com/24120-spinosaurus.html And I have to say… it’s not very accurate. So I wouldn’t use this site for information. 38:15 no. As seen in that diagram the centre of mass was likely just infront of the back legs. almost exactly the same as every other therapod and so it would have had no issue holding itself on its hind legs. Also it’s a very big step to go from a bipedal to a quadruple stance and it would be the only known therapod dinosaur to do so if that was true. So no. Spinosaurus is NOT quadrupedal as of our current knowledge.

Spinosaurus was determined to be bipedal in 2018 when a paper studying their centre of mass showed it was just in front of the hind legs, basically the same as any other theropod. And that was before the discovery of the tail. And the main purpose for long tails was weight distribution. Most recent studies place the largest specimen at 7.56 tons with an average potent variation showing a maximum of 8 tons. However a 9 ton spinosaurus could have been possible.

@@monsterzero521 Thank you for the information my friend. I was all in for the T-ReX as a kid and for many years thereafter. But once I learned about the Spino, it stole my heart. Fair enough, it may not be the most powerful against those in your list, but it could certainly be considered t that it could be the most unique and special. Not to mention that these days, being a Rexy fan is too clichéd But with Spinosaurus, From it's huge sail, to the massive crocodilian jaw and it's marine capabilities, I may be a *little* biased, but at present, there hasn't been, IMO, A better all round killing machine... 🤣😎👍🏼

My most recent thought is that if it was semi-aquatic, the sail could have cast a big enough sail to cast shade, similar to that of a black heron with its wings? Could have been a sit and wait predator?

This animal used it's sail to warm up before the other animals. As the other animals were on the beach trying to warm up , the spiner was already warmed up and could attack the sluggish animals not up to escape temperature.

It’s not the largest theropod, it’s the longest. But it WAS the largest duck/water fowl that ever lived ! 18-22 tons is laughably wrong. It was closer to 7 tons.

Crazy looking creature. Definitely a crocodile like tail but sue wasn’t an ambush Hunter with a sail on its back. I think it spent a lot of time on the water. It just has a croc look. It just didn’t come from the croc linage. Aquatic dinosaur and convergent evolution? Maybe. Did this creature have its niche or was it heading to one,

Ni effing chance against a T-rex, which was way too massive with a much greater bite force. T-rex would bite right through that neck, crushing bone and severing the head. ... meanwhile, that gharial-like mouth isn't bothering a T-rex much.

I love how the video said that things could be outdated in 10 years time. More research and discoveries to come on this fascinating dinosaur. My favorite dinosaur! My only critique is the way the spine connects to the tail. Instead of being symmetrical, it has that v-shaped wedge. I don't really like that design.

Latest findings from earlier this year reported in Dinosaur magazine finds that spinosaurus tail was jointed for use for swimming and remains found indicate it was finned. With how little we have on spinosaurus in the means of remains we can only find out new information. We do know based off the jaw and the teeth that spinosaurus feasted on aquatic life. Question still remains of it moved on four legs or two legs.

something i think people need to do is stop complaining about inaccuracies within the jurassic park franchise. not only is it just a movie, it's confirmed a lot of the mutations and differences made in the "modern day" dinosaurs were caused by the modern reptile dna put into the dino genes to fill the gaps. thus why a lot still do not have feathers, this was a fixed issue in the newest movie as the pyroraptor and the therizinosaurus have feathers possibly because they started to use modern bird dna to fill in gaps! ON TOP of that a lot of the mutations were man made without the "help" of the modern reptile or bird dna. they modified them to make them scarier/cooler because they were meant to be amusement park attractions !! so people complaining about the inaccuracies is something that has always been a pet peeve of mine because all the answers to those inaccuracies are laid out in front of them within the movie !! of course there is more to this considering dinosaurs are changing every day due to new discoveries but for the sake of the movies the answers are right there

For me Spino was a semi aquatic animal who primarily was hunting fish but I think similar to crocodiles also a lurking hunter that possibly could have attacked smaler dinos.In the water he was with this feets comparable to modern birds and with that tail to a row of water lizards.Also its long neck is reminds to many semi-aquatic birds that van swiming on the surface but also dive into the depths.The claws of the Spino could be used to hook up prey but also for defense.I think Spino were a high specialized dino that lived between land and water but mainly into water or swamps.That dino had found irs own very specialized corner and it was for a long time successfully.But as landscapes changed Spino died out because of its specialization and the lack of time to adaptation to new circumstances.

The thing with Jurassic Park dinosaurs, that seemingly most people forget, is, that they're *_all_* mutants. None of them is a straight up dinosaur that lived in the past, because they only ever found fragmentary DNA of them, and filled up the gaps with DNA from modern day animals that are, or that they thought to be, related to dinosaurs, like lizards or frogs. That's why Things from the books or movies contradicting what Scientists found still work. The movie said, that T-Rex could only see movement, while Scientists say that it most likely had exceptionally good eye sight, and there is this big Argument ever since. But guess what? The movies depiction of a T-Rex that can only see movement is still valid, because they spliced in frog DNA to fill the gaps in the genetic code, and many species of frogs indeed have movement based sight.
