- Newly discovered fossils revealed that Spinosaurus, bigger than T. rex, was an excellent swimmer, unlike any other dinosaur. Found in the sands of Morocco, the bones suggest that, unlike its land-dwelling cousins, this meat-eating creature likely fed on sharks and other fish. Spinosaurus was about 50 feet long, and the "sail" on its back was perhaps a display structure. National Geographic Emerging Explorer Nizar Ibrahim and colleagues published their findings in Science magazine today.

It's still crazy to think these things roamed around our planet.
For hundreds of millions of years, I can't wrap my head around that. Humans have been around for a blip in comparison
@@hardstylez45 i cant wrap my head around the fact that we have pyhiscal evidence of these monstorous beasts roaming around on OUR OWN planet and yet people think we are the only life in the universe. Who knows, maybe there was life on earth before the Dinos and all that evidence is way too long gone by now.
Their planet
@@anatomicallycorrectmuppets8180 well it’s ours now
@@MidniteMeatBus the infinity of possibilites is bigger than the infinity of space meaning that there's a bigger chance that there isnt life compared to that there is.
And now it's been found out it had a fish tail
IT WAS A CROCODILE! Made for florida waters but was lost in shipping.
@@treyfowler6892 Plot twist, You were right
From the most terrifying monster in prehistoric Sahara who rivaled Tyrannosaurus Rex in dangerousness to a dino platypus.
Nevermind, one should respect all animals for what they are.
Cmon spino isn't platypus ur r platypus with respect
@@mohammedelzayat6486 Did you read the second part of my comment?
Now they are REAL dinosaurs fans. They don't care who will win In a dinosaur fight!
Sonic The Hedgehog but its a sad truth that the spino get a lot of hate because of this question and because of the 3rd film of jurrassic park its so sad :( because i realy love spino ^^
Yess Trex wins all the way!
Sonic The Hedgehog Like me? I've dropped the whole T-Rex vs Spino trend. Spino was bigger, ergo for me it wins. But that doesn't really matter because they'd never actually fight.
I love the spinosaurus because it's just so weird. Like they've said a million times, Spino is a weird dinosaur and I like that a lot about them.
Jason Alcatraz i think of it as a tie spino scaring rex away
Bcause the so called "dino fans" took the film too seriously.
Spino: This isn't even my final form
"I've only been using a mere 5% of my power"
Spinosaurus has always been my favorite dino 😊
Same I don't know why
Same
same
Same
I too
Ugh I just love Spinosaurus
Me to
In my case, I love playing Ark, so...I kinda wish that they would all die in a fire...
+Gigi Games :O
+Cats And Horses they are cool but in the GAME they will eat you in less then a minute with no hesitation, they are cool tho, just not in the game
I think it was better when it only walked on TWO legs, not four.
Who's here after the 2020 find?
Trey Fowler me
From the most terrifying monster of prehistoric Sahara who rivaled Tyrannosaurus Rex in dangerousness to a dino platypus.
Nevermind, one should respect all animals for what they are.
@@CrazyIshan69 Yeah but this is that 100 platypus sized gigas or one giga sized platypus type of thing. Size matters.
@@treyfowler6892 Yeah, I just mean it wasn't nearly as powerful as similarly-sized theropods. And anyway, we should love and respect all animals for what they are, so I quickly discarded my disappointment.
Wow
it's quite amazing how this beast has changed quite alot since its discovery,it went from fighting a t rex onscreen in jurassic park,to being more of a giant crocodile that had some similarities in habits to crocs like its sensory pits on the front of its snout,you can even see the pits in this video,truely a marvel of the water.
You take your eye off spinosaurus for 6 years and it’s already changed into a lovecraftian sea serpent
It has a flamethrower now
Fighting a T-Rex was ridiculous though.
@@Xenosaurian and not even bigger then a trex
@@kefayatullahmohmand925 Exactly!
For the idiots arguing over T.rex vs. S.aegyptiacus. They didn't even live in the same time period, and even if they had, they would have never fought to begin with. They had no natural predators, nor would they become the natural predator of the other.
Are you kidding me? You stupid fanboy. Spino was
a fish with legs and a weak bite. It was a fisherman it hunted fish, the easiest and weakest of prey lol. Trex was the pinnacle of predator evolution with a bite force stronger than any other able to kill dinoasaurs bigger, faster and stronger than little fishies.
Bob Smith I didn't just hunt fish you know
Bob Smith or it probably did,I doubt spino hunting ouranosaurus,it probably just scavenged from carchar during the dry seasons,nvm then
Bob Smith , he isnt a fanboy ,he is just saying that the fight can never happen thats all. Yeh I agree it has a weak bite , but it has a arm strong enough to rip a t rex's face . Yeh t rex has the 2nd strongest bite , but it comes with a price , small arms that scientists are still figuring out what it was even used for .
SMAUG The Impenetrable they just don't needed big arms
And they kept on telling me Godzilla wasn't real!
Yes, it was real but we have other name for it: Tyrannosaurus rex, the champion in bite force of all the animal kingdom.
Nah, big sails on back? Can swim? Enormous? THIS is clearly Godzilla!
Maybe but Godzilla is supposed to be a champion, a strong warrior, Spinosaurus just seems odd and clearly not as powerful as other theropods, with those tiny hindlimbs for its size and slender ribcage
Nah I think those longer arms, sail, the fact it can rule both land on sea, and the fact it has size and power on its size makes me think Spinosaurus screams Godzilla more. T-rex maybe a king, but Spinosaurus is a God (perhaps).
Pac-Mania You really think those longer arms can defeat the mighty bone-crushing bite force of T.rex? Or that an animal as slender or elongated as Spinosaurus can defeat the massive bulk and strength of Tyrannosaurus? Godzilla is supposed to be a robust animal with powerful jaws and massive bulk, Spinosaurus is an elongated fish eater with slender jaws, powerful but not nearly as powerful as T.rex's.
Spinosaurus was far from being god of the dinosaurs, Amphicoelias fragillimus was. It was 200 ft long and weighted 155 tonnes, truly god of the dinosaurs.
Who's here after the new Spinosaurus tail DLC has been released ?
m e.
What new tail?!?!? Post up please!
@@jeffreymedeiros6253 just Google spinosaurus tadpole tail
It's crocoduck! It's crocoduck! Oh my goodness, it existed! It's crocoduck!
***** No, it's an argument creationists use against evolution.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocoduck
Very funny, because theories on how spinosaurus moved and behaved are actually based on crocs and ducks.
*Spinosaurids had relatively short legs*, as seen with known members of the spinosaurae family. *Based on actual spinosaurus research, it is clear that either spinosaurus was short or very small in total*. This is because though the bones of spinosaurus suggest it was long, the pelvis and legs suggests it was very short.
theropoda.blogspot.it/2014/09/spinosaurus-revolution-episodio-ii-ode.html
Though the legs were clearly short, this does not mean it was necessarily very small. In fact, many semi-aquatic animals today have relatively short limbs with long bodies. Take for example:
images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf/media-live/photos/000/006/cache/saltwater-crocodile_696_600x450.jpg

upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Four_Giant_Otters.JPG
So it would seem apparent that *spinosaurus likely had a very short leg ratio and would overall be quite short. However, this brings up the question on how it walked*.
It is possible based on the fact that *spinosaurus had short legs with a long tarsal, it may have walked like a duck*; after all, it is why ducks waddle in the first place

*The more popular theory however, is that spinosaurus may have been a quadruped, due to very short legs and being far too front heavy.*

The quadraped theories makes spinosaurus appear more similair to South American giant river otters in terms of body design, which actually makes a lot of sense due to inhabiting very similar environments(large rivers, lakes and ponds)

im a christian and i think the crocoduck thing is just ridiculous
Jayce Wilkinson
It may be because technically, spinosaurus really was a _crocoduck_...
I think, being able to go back and witness these animals in person, without being torn to shreds, would be amazing. Not for time travel purposes, but just to see these creatures up close, and their lush environments would be wonderful.
Very hot, humid, and tons of insects. Much like an extant rainforest.
We could make a humanoid robot to go back in time and return with footage.
But that's be a stretch
@@Ranakade Haha, maybe if we continue on our steady technological evolution for another 1000 years will timetravel be possible.... but why does it need to be a humanoid robot anyways, wouldnt it be better for it to be small and nimble if we just want footage?
Well we all know where this is going...
From the most terrifying monster in prehistoric Sahara who rivaled Tyrannosaurus Rex in dangerousness to a dino platypus.
Nevermind, one should respect all animals for what they are.
@@CrazyIshan69 the spino only ate fish and probably never 1 v1 me kid the t rex
@@aliogre2000 Okay, maybe I exaggerated by saying T-Rex. More like Giga or Carchar. You gotta admit OLD Spino was pretty powerful.
Guys we dont know yet who is stronger than the other
@@mohammedelzayat6486 Nothing wrong with expressing and discussing opinions.
Such a magnificent predator, I first got interest in Spinosaurus when I first saw its appearance from Jurassic Park 3, and understood it more and chose to investigate it more. With the evolution of the Spinosaurus skeleton, I think there are tactics that Spinosaurus used to have until the more complete version of the dinosaur has been found and these old tactics have been thrown away but I think they still deserve to be apart of this animal despite it's appearance.
How much of the spino skeleton have they actually found
That’s how I found out about the Spinosaurus too!
Huh?
I love how theres people going against scientific facts...... get over it fan boys.
rafael661kc where are they being fan boys
ProAcid oh there are a lot more than one
Motun Turk the fact that is had shoet legs does make it weaker. And he still knows a lot more about dinosaurs or skeletons then anyone in this comment sections
Toostig not "weaker" just not suited for fighting therapods
7 alright it makes it less agile and fast and couldnt run on land
Also I think Spino was longer not bigger in terms of bulk..
Alfie Bell You're correct, Ibrahim estimates MSNM V4047 at 6 - 7 tonnes. I've seen estimates as low as 5 tonnes and as high as 7.6 tonnes. This is due to it's shallow torso and elongated body. If you want a comparison with T. rex, BHI 3033 ("Stan") is 6.5 - 7 tonnes, AMNH 5027 and CM 9380 (the Holotype) are around 7 - 7.8 tonnes, while the largest T. rex, FMNH PR 2081 ("Sue") was 8.4 - 8.83 tonnes. Due to T. Rex's robust build and almost barrel-like torso. The elongated body probably helped to swim faster.
PS: There are estimates of 18 tonnes and 21 tonnes for T. rex and Spinosaurus, but those have some major flaws. Spinosaurus' is based on outdated information (18 metre Spinosaurus) and it doesn't account for it's slim build. For the 18 tonne T. rex, it's disproportionate and really, really fat. I generally go with a 7 - 7.7 tonne Spinosaurus and for the T. rex, it's in the previous paragraph.
Yup, overall size made him much bigger. I mean, he is almost eye to eye with Tyrannosaurus while on all fours! I tend to believe that Spino may possibly walk on twos for a short time (not necessarily like a bear, especially with that sail), and would tower over T-Rex. Obviously it most likely couldn’t do that for obvious reasons. But if it did, it’d just add to the fear factor of the creature.
It wasn't fat like T. rex but to be honest to prove T. rex is the s** toy of science the scientists say that T. rex was aquatic and could swim and hold its breathe way longer than spinosurus
Alfie Bell oh absolutely, trex was a beast
cathy peterson-witty that's a lie
fun fact: this version of the spinosaurus is also wrong
Yup, new updated spinosaurus has a fin like tail
@@ahmedfahreza5538 yeah i like the new version.
Its not wrong, just outdated
@@alligatoreamericano3520 yeah you're right
Who cares. Seriously...
All these Trex fanboys need to gon some were
Yeah, some of them are very annoying
90%of T. rex fans are D****
La's Totally Awsome Bleach Lemon Scented Learn how to write in English first before trolling...Its embarrassing..
Well neither dinosaur would win because depending on the territory they are fighting only one would win on land T. rex water Spinosaurus so really it would be unfair either way
Lord Beerus yeah, it's like comparing a shark and a lion
While I personally love the super badass look of the Spinosaurus in Jurassic Park 3, the recent discoveries made that depict it as being more crocodilian in appearance, moving on all fours and being mainly aquatic, don’t detract from its coolness. Honestly, its bizarre form makes it a bit more interesting imo!
Totally agree with you. Some people would say JP3 Spino is more badass, but the fact the Spino now are so different from other therapods out there really make it so unique
Bruh it a reptile
Just a fish eater mostly
The movie fantasy is a lie, T-Rex is built to Kill dinos !!
Much stronger Bone-crunching teeth, bigger jaw & neck muscles, Bigger stronger jaw and skull thickness !!! Rex built to Kill on land !!! T-Rex will always be the King !
Not true
maybe the sail was for heat absorption when it was in the water? it could have been submerged with just its snout and its sail out of the water?
+Keightley60 First thing i thought.
This is what everyone thought about dimetrodon too. But turns out dimetrodon did not even have a sail. It was a mammal with a hump to store fat from which hump half of the spines bones were exposed...look online for mammal dimetrodon.
Although most pictures are innacurate and show the old dimetrodon....
Valia 2305 I don't believe that would be the same for Spino, though IMO. It spent a lot of time in water (from what we can tell it ate fish) so id assume it would get cold in the water, like Crocodiles do. Just my opinion but i believe it spent most its time with its body submerged and its Snout and fin above the water for breathing and heat regulation.
Like i said, just my opinion of it.
could be to attract mates
"Bigger". I believe they mean longer. Totally different. Thats like saying reticulated python is bigger than an anaconda.
Body mass wise it's bigger
its bigger not longer
Well "bigger" means taller and longger even strongger
BattleFox2 War! Bigger means heavier
Spinosaurus had more mass I think. Sure it may have a lower centre of gravity; the spine making most of spinos height, but for all intents and purposes I'd say it's bigger.
T rex fans:Rage so hard if someone(like me ) says that spino is better,they serach on internet everything and copy it and act like genius.
Spino fans:They want to f...your whole family if you say t rex is better,have no facts.
t rex fans: 70%stupid fans
spino fans:70% stupid fans
andrej dragicevic
Both were salty but spino fans can be saltier sometimes.
andrej dragicevic
Wrong. 70% plus 70% is 140%, hence T.Rex is da best.
U mean fanboys
Nobody cares about _Jurassic Park 3_ . That was a movie, this is reality.
As for who would win, T. Rex or Spinosaurus... they lived on different continents, millions of years apart. They never fought.
If they did fight. T rex would win with 1 good bite. Spinosaurus was very weak and its neck would fall off its torso after t rex bites its head off
I might actually get a real Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus fossil tooth for Christmas!
I really thought that this komment is 100 years old 🤣
You got it?
No complete skeleton has even been found. One of the best specimens was destroyed by the RAF.
this isn't even it's final form!
Can't wait for the next Spino nerf when we find out it was completely different than we think now.
Alligators on steroids be like
i wish we'd have cool dinosaur roaming the earth eating people, life is too boring now.
Go to Africa and hang out in the saregetti
Ah yes dinosaur supremacy. I think the closest animal we have to a dinosaur right now that is not a mammal would be a komodo dragon.
The first guy Nizar was so happy to one talking about dinos. How adorable
I can see this thing in a Jurassic Park movie, in the water... And jump out like a crocodile and snatch a dinosaur!
I have been a fan of spino for years. I loved artwork of it from the early 2000s where it was a very bipedal T-Rex like creature predator. I was only more fascinated with the suggestion that it could be an unusual swimming quadraped. Now the developments that it was most likely bipedal and that it had a swimming tail are astonishing.
I love Spinosaurus there my favourite animal I recently ordered a Spino tooth I’m so excited
Wait, you can order real skeletons?
I never knew that
Is any buddy watching this in 2019?
I am bud.
yes
It truly is a beautiful animal
Supreme creature of this planet at one time 🙏🏻💯
Amazing just amazing
Supreme créature ?
Megalodon : hold my beer
It truly is a beautiful animal, especially after the new discoveries of 2020, seeing a spinosaurus would be a fascinating sight. Although, the supreme creature (other than armed humans) is either livyatan and megalodon.
Fans are butt hurt and cannot accept real science. With such a large body, there's no way it was bipedal.
In Jurassic park 3 that thing fucked shit up
Seriously, Jurassic Park seems like a predictor for the dinosaurs we find xD
When the movie was being made, the bigger raptors on record were about the size of Bulldogs!
cerberouse1 Not true at all. In fact, the reason the "Velociraptors" in Jurassic Park are so much bigger than real Velociraptors were, is because they were confused with Deinonychus, which WAS 6ft+ tall, and at one time was thought to have been related to velociraptor.
Then there's Utah raptor... even larger, and also known at the time.
Dinodude1008 "So the raptors in JP are indeed bigger than Deinonychus by a good mark."
Your first sentence is correct, your second sentence is not. In fact, the raptors in Jurassic Park were right at man-height, but definitely not 7ft tall.....
Dinodude1008 I doubt that Achillobator was that tall. There is conflicting measurements in the technical literature over the size of it's bones; the femur (upper leg bone) has been reported as being both 50.5 cm and 55 cm. By contrast big Utahraptor femurs can reach 60 cm (and be as thick as a Hippo's I might add).
I'll link to a scale chart at the end of this post, in there the Achillobator is scaled assuming a 50.5 cm femur, and is thus ~135 cm / 4.4 feet at the hips. If the femur was actually 55 cm, then the whole thing will be ~9% larger (~30% heavier), thus a hip height of ~150 cm / 5 feet.
The Utahraptor is >160 cm and Austroraptor ~155 cm by the way.
img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140522015112/archosauria/images/4/4e/Giant_Dromaeosaurs.png
Dinodude1008 Well seeing as Utahraptor and Achillobator are poorly known yet closely related, they are usually used to help restore the other, plus big chunks based off of Deinonychus.
However, new as of yet un-described remains of Utahraptor are known, and they indicate that really stocky build. Achillobator would probably look similar, and any future reconstructions of it would have to take into account the stocky Utahraptor (once the material is published that is).
So I just used the Utahraptor silhouette for Achillobator too, it was just easier.
Either way Achillobator is hardly a lithe animal. It's illum (or hip bone if you like) was longer than it's femur, it had enormous upper legs, you also see this in some gigantic theropods like Tyrannosaurus, but in a 300 - 400 kg lightweight like Achillobator that is pretty abnormal. Of course I already mentioned how Utahraptor (and Achillobator) had femurs as thick as those of hippos twice to three times their size.
Although yes, the JP 'raptors' were closer in size to Achillobator, which isn't surprising actually given that Achilobator's fossils were found and known to science as early as 1989. Whilst they weren't described and named until 1999, it is entirely plausible that the films science adviser, Jack Horner, would have known about this giant mongolian dromaeosaur and could have based the size of the films raptors off of it.
Its hard to believe that this got outdated so quick
carcharodontosaurus and giganotosaurus are still bigger then t-Rex
and Spinosaurus is bigger than both. Yet, size isn't the big deal here
Forrest The Animezilla
still, none of those predators SPINOSAURUS included would be able to defeat and kill the largest T-REX 😍😍😍
I'm pretty sure that kill thay kill t-Rex dude
Yes they were longer than the king but the king had more mass except for spino, and also had the strongest bite force to match.
Forrest The Animezilla T. rex was shorter in length, but had a wider torso, head, neck, etc, so it had more higher volume and mass.
We should be comparing the tail to the mosasurus tail, probably a very adept shallow water swimmer.
SLAUGHTER SPINE!!! Anyone here after horizon forbidden west?!😂✌🏻
Yes lol
So glad I'm not the only one
T-Rex fanboys getting butthurt in 3..2..1....
I know there's a lot of die hard fan boys out there wishing it still looked like the "old" spino but so what? if you can't just face fact just go back to your fiction wonderland.
I really like that they have made a full Skelton spino now. Now people who walk in a Museum won't look strait away at the t rex.
It's great for science because now they know that t rex wasn't just the top predator of the world something bigger and better in my eyes has arrived.
Spinosaurus is a awesome and weird creature what has arrived and I really like the "new" one.
Also plz no t rex arguments on which is better because the t rex would destroy it when I really think about it because the t rex is land killer when the spino is a aquatic killer. So both have advantages on each side.
Look I am not trying to start an argument with you or insult you or the spinosaurs because I love the spinosaurs but we have known for a long time that the t Rex wasn't the top predator and neither was the spinosaurs and don't forget that we haven't found a full t Rex fossil so we don't even know how big he actually is.
And Ryan people don't call the t Rex the king just because of his figure it is because what he did for dinosaurs before Jurassic park dinosaur movies were a joke but when that t Rex first came on to the scene he became the most iconic dinosaur ever because he actually looked good in a movie and he got a lot of eyes on dinosaurs so it was because of him now with the spinosaurs I don't think people like him because what they did to him in Jurassic park 3 and that is make him a serial killer.
So it was because of t Rex more people became fascinated with dinosaurs and that's why for me and lots of other people the t Rex will always be the king of dinosaurs
TKO cola I'm not on about the T Rex argument anymore. The pathetic argument is done now. I'm on about the spino fans in the comments there moaning that the spino isn't as intimidating as it used to be. I'm no penatoligist but this is for accuracy and science not fiction.
I agree with what you said about separateing fiction from reality but you could have just ignored it or make a simple comment this comment about how the spinosaurs is bigger and better than the t rex but I do agree with a lot of what you had to say
TKO cola I just think the spino brings something different to the dinosuars. Not all the light is on the t rex
Well, Spinosaurus!
Don't you look taller in the movie?
The one in Jurassic Park 3 is actually smaller compared to new estimates...
I know that the body is longer than the one in Jurassic Park 3, but the legs seem shorter...
Science keeps on getting updated. The raptors in the whole trilogy would look VERY different ever since discoveries about raptors since September 2007.
There are more feathers on the raptors!
@@congyu9272 there are 2 species. A long legged and short legged one
I like the new design or the scientifically accurate version much better and i think now he looks much adorable in a weird sort of way!
That explains why Spino is a water type in Fossil Fighters
Fun Fact: The Jurassic Park Legacy forums banned any discussion on the Spinosaurus vs. T. rex debate. If you look at the rule list, it's even above the rule about respecting people's religious/political beliefs.
I'm a real [fan] of this new discovery
So...there are 2 races of spinosaurus?
mario maria It must be. One that is shortlegged and one that is longlegged
Yess one is short 4 legs dino half aquatic, the other is a shorter 4 legs dino like a hipo/crocs/chicken fully aquatic
I hate the new one
***** NOPE
JUAN STAINO yes
The spinosaurus has to be in my top 2 favorite dinosaurs
Who’s no.1?
So who's got the gold medal anyway?
Ooooo no
Hey guys it's just his opinion
I still love the t Rex and plus the t Rex and can kill it
Yeah it depends on the situation
Im pretty sure it wasnt totally 100% quadrupedal but had short hind legs so that it could use both 2 legs and 4 legs for locomotion
Something like the hadrosaurus, its front legs r half the size of its hind legs but it could still walk on 4 legs :)
Wy people dont like "new" spino. Its still my faworite dino😊.
Same
I also think that the new version makes it even more unique than the one before.
At first glimpse, I thought for a moment that is Eren's Founding Titan. Lol 😏
pfft i'm just laughing on the bed at the ignorance of people comparing spino and trex ptfftt
Bunch of idiots
THIS IS NOT IN THE tyrell IN DRUMHELLER, never saw it when I was there aug 3 /2024
The spinosaurus did not walk with its arms, Just it’s legs
That is correct, but at the time this video was made Paleontologist though it did.
It's crazy to see that huge dinosaur imagine seeing that when it was alive it would tare you up.
That information is so interesting.
I find this dinosaur's skeletal structure very interesting, it's different. That's why I love this dinosaur so much.
it's the founding titan
Prehistoric life is supposed to be extinct but it’s not extinct anymore thanks to Jurassic World and Jurassic Park but Jurassic World have some Dinosaurs from the original Jurassic Park the Relevant see you saw there was a disaster well sorry you haven’t watch the movie what I have I watched Jurassic Park and Jurassic World and Jurassic World fallen kingdom if you haven’t seen the movie just let me know well if you haven’t seen the movie but take this advice see you see the spinosaurus skeleton yeah because we are talking about a spinosaurus even represents
I love spinosaurus ❤ I also have a real tooth from one! God created such beautiful creatures that once roamed our earth
This thing just looks goofier and goofier every time they make new discoveries regarding how it looked and functioned.
Yeah, now it's more of a dino platypus than the most terrifying monster in prehistoric Sahara who rivaled Tyrannosaurus Rex in dangerousness.
Nevermind, one should respect all animals for what they are.
Goofy? You trippin? It looks terrifying.
@T_T Leader He's not criticizing it. He just pointed out that it looks increasingly goofy.
Everybodies gansta until a spino breaks lose from a lab
Their finding is *fantastic*
I confess initially I was baffled by the fact Spino was a quadropred. 😳
But now I think is is AWESOME.
This discovery changed the rule book for large carnivores! Also the fact that this beast most likely spent most of it's time in or near water makes it even cooler.
T-Rex ruled the land, but Spino ruled the waterways!
Right now the spinosaurus deemed amphibious not only an obligate water dweller; also the legs of spinosaurus wasnt too much small to walk on land. But the quadrupedality nonsense is debunked
Nah Spino didn’t rule the waterways, there were more powerful water predators that preyed on things other than harmless fish that were the true rulers. Spino was a fisherman. It was basically a prehistoric stork or seal, all it ruled over were the little fishies lol. Here fishy fishy the big bad duck is here. Lol!
sacrosuchus the large crocodile would have been an apex predator of the waterways too, however you spell it lol
I like how they just modified the BBC spinosaurus cgi model.
Spinosaurus is not bigger, it's longer. T.Rex had much more mass than a Spinosaurus.
This thing looks so magnificent. I wish it could take over the popularity of rexy.
Defo animating dis! XD
Well if world war 2 didn't happen spino would be more popular
in world war 2 a museum filled with spinosaurus complete bone sets got bombed and completely destroyed. the spinosaur would have been more known and famous than the t rex if that never happened.
Andre Thecool
I already know that..
+Andre Thecool The museum was in germany, near or in munich
it ain't really bigger than the trex maybe a lil bit longer but nearly as big and I don't mean height and length
It's longer and taller and has a better fighter advantage than t-Rex
It actually can't fight better if uve actually looked into it the trex is the has the most perfectly designed body out of all descoverd fossil dinosaurs for a fight
I think I'll take a paleontologist's word over yours that the spino was significantly larger than the trex lol.
Mercedes and larger than the GIGANOTOSAURUS CAROLINII aswell, but none eof those two individually bigger carnivores would have never been able to defeat the majestic T-REX - THE true killing machine!
Holds the record for the strongest bite forced or any terrestial creature ever! 😍😍😍
Was like a tank!!!!!
Saku Raitonen the t rex did have a bigger bite for but spinosaurus had size, an intimadation factor the giant claws and it could swim but the fight I want to see is giganotosaurus vs spino both were of same size
Not really bigger than T- Rex more like longer with a large spine.
Galaxeus yeah, you must be telling the truth instead of those paleontologists who actually saw the fossil in person and worked on it and studied it for years
Andrew Maliberan spino was just a tad bit shorter actually
If you want I can show you two accurate sizes of T-Rex and Spino
It's longer and taller thsn T.Rex. it's less bulkier tho.
not because its spine because its chest
@@kaloyan6980 nope. T rex is much taller and much heavier
I think the sail acted as a thing to help it swim
Maybe the spinosaurus is the color of crocodiles ancestors I think because they look so similar✌️😄
It’s only longer. Not bigger. T. rex is taller and much more massive
ya blew it it's taller google it buddy
It's both taller and longer but not as robust. It's a semi aquatic animal what'd you expect? If it wasn't it'd be pretty much the heaviest carnivore.
They're bigger yes, but they fed on fish and not other large dinosaurs. They would've never came into contact with a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Spinosaurus was truly the king of the dinosaurs👑
Nah
King of the rivers maybe.
@dane shackle T rex and Spinosaurus are both Kings of the Dinosaurs
Too bad the Bible completely missed these Natural Wonders!
hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha
Turns out the spino was the peacock of the dinosaurs 😄
how can they say its bigger than t rex if not one even close to complete skelleton has been found?
If it's already bigger, then it will still be even more so with more bones.
Because even the most pessimistic assumptions about it's size are still bigger than any known t-rex.
What a dumb and stupid question lol
spinosaurus is the beggest and strongest of all dinosaurs and I love him a lot
That's cool and all but the reason why I love the spino is because trex is overrated and it's getting old
Invertigo Prime - MW2 - Minecraft - and More! There's nothing overrated about Rex. It's an impressive creature that walked the Earth. Just because people like it doesn't make it overrated.
+Spider-Man you're right
but Spinosaurs is something new and because of JP3 spino is the fancy one
Yes that is true andrew
T.rex isn't overrated, it was just overpowered. Seriously, a vision better than an eagle, an excellent olfatory system and a bone crushing mouth? Like, jeez, evolution wanted to create its own Godzilla...
Is that real skeleton or it's FAKE???
Ice Age series a model of the real thing probs
I got a real Spinosaurus tooth! 😄😁
Don't care. Never will take the T-Rex place in our hearts.
Àhhhh we just discovered it had longer legs, let's rethink this!
+Joe Janski shorter legs now right?
+Promaniak PL The original femur found by Stromer was bigger than this one
Gigantosaurus is bigger
I AM LEGION actually there is no proff of that
I AM LEGION b
I AM LEGION wrong
Wrong incorrect information
Ok I something to say about this. First, the bones came from a collecter they dont know, nor do they know if the bones are genuine or not. And look at its design here, it makes no sense. The back legs are WAY to short and thin for an animal of that size, its knuckles couldn't support the weight, Spinosaurus claw and bite marks have been found in larger dinosaurs like young sauropods, ouranosaurus and other carnivorous dinosaurs. If i can hunt these animals, how can it like that. How can it use its claws for defense if the tail is that low, it wouldnt be able to rear back on its back legs to retaliate. Also, in the past as well as before this thing, it was determined Spinosaur COULDN'T walk on all fours the arms were not able to bend that far to walk. And the old reconstructions are copies of the one from WWII so why is this one so different from the first. There are also inconsistencies with this and the reconstructions from the original Spinosaurus, if u dont believe me compare the two. This animal could not function like this, it would be screwed on land if something attacked it, and clearly by fossil evidence it could protect its self with its claws and teeth. Also, NO other Spinosaur is quadrupedal so why would Spinosaurus be THIS different from its relatives.
I've been looking all over this website..............AND FINALLY................SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES!
ricky montes
i have been studying animal biology and anatomy for quite some time, and this animal with the evidence given wouldnt be able to function, and why would they do this if its from a sketchy source, you read that too someone who they dont know gave them this and they dont know if its authentic or not
RexVsGaming In my full on opinion,THIS NEW SPINO IS A HOAX!I'm trying to find more people who agree!I WANT TO PROVE EVERYONE WHO BELEIVES THIS WRONG!I make dinos out of clay,AND I AM NOT GOING TO MAKE SOME (dinosaur roar in the backward) FOUR LEGGED SPINO!Are you with me or against me?
ricky montes
i never said i was for this, i was saying how the four leg spino makes no sense and like i said it might be soon discovered as a hoax, due to the fact that this thing cant be proved legit
RexVsGaming
Sorry,I was overeacting.......SO............Ya with me?
Beautiful animal!
So where is the skeleton on display
I still believe that it walked on two legs
Sometimes
Actually it is bipedal (aka walking on it's hind limbs). Quadropedal theory was very short lived. Anatomically It's arms would break from the weight. It was bipedal 100% of the time no full on quadropedal or semi quadropedal.
In 20 years how much has changed with our knowledge of this dinosaur!!
All this is an aim to end once and for all the dispute for Spino vs Rex. But, this is anything but evidence. I've seen many critical mistakes they have made in this documentary. Number one, the thigh bones in the "newly constructed Spinosaurus" are MUCH smaller, thinner, and shorter than the one thigh bone found in 1915. Number two, in fact, all of the bones constructed to depict this new description are much less dense and thick than the original one. People will argue that it's Moroccanus they are depicting, the smaller of the two, other being Aegypticus, so it would only helm as much mass according. But no, these were still the same dinosaur thus the skeleton was more robust than they were leading on. This is a staged program.
To also add, why would it be the ONLY spinosaur to be quadrupedal? Baryonyx wasn't, Suchomimus wans't. Even Oxalaia (damn near the exact same thing but in South America) wasn't quadrupedal. This was all an attempt to falsely end the Spino/Rex dispute, plain and simple.
Taylon Fitch well spino was front heavy and way bigger than baryonx and suchomimus so maybe it had to divide its weight by sometimes walking on all fours
Taylon Fitch I mean how did u know, the bone of the spino was destoryed in ww2
Taylon Fitch well there was never found a complet skeleton of spino, so what you're saying is not treu and gor
T it from a fake source. Only a copple of bones have been found. The rest of its body they just made up from its cousin baryonx. So until we find s complet skeleton we cant know for shure
wu jason yeah treu and a complete skeleton of spino was never found only a copple of bones
Spino is now my favorite dinosaur.
Poor paleo scientist lol, I tip my hat for their effort for discovering Spinosaurus updated look & fossil, I wasn't a dino expert but from what I read, Spinosaurus is one of the most hardest Dino to figure out how they actually look (missing bones etc). Also this ends the debate between T. Rex vs Spino lol, I cant possibly imagine how Spino could take on T. Rex with that (actual) form.
man,i just wish this was untrue is it just me or looks dumb now
You're saying that crocodiles look dumb?
I don't think so!
Spinosaurus doesn't care :)
Spinosaurus being a quadruped, exploiting an untouched hunting niche in it's environment, being an apex predator, and somehow you think it looks dumb?
it's now debunked
IMO sail helped it navigate in water, like dorsal fin on a fish. I dont see why a predator would want to use it to use it for display and give it's position away. Predators need element of surprise
It's not uncommon for males to have characteristics that are detrimental to their individual survival but increase their chances of attracting a mate and passing on their genes.
That's why the males of many species of birds and fish are colorful while the females have colors that are better for camouflage.
Dinodude1008 Hey, you have a point there. I forgot that in Monsters Ressurected, this theory was mentioned, but the Spinosaurus in that doc was very exagerated if you ask me.
Dinodude1008 Revealed by BBC Spinosaurus did compete and hunt for land animals, especially Ouranasaurus during times of drought.
You mean OuranOsaurus, Pac-Mania. :)
Right, sorry I haven't played Jurassic Park Operation Genesis, or seen that 2013 BBC documentary in a while.
I was happy John Hurt narrated the life of my favorite dinosaur ever in that documentary.
Well, if this new "Quadruped Spinosaurus" does end up becoming the real deal. At least the bright side of it will be that it'll finally shut up JP Spino fanboys. Since the fight between the T-Rex and Spinosaurus in JP3 would've turned out to have never been legit.
The fight should have ended when the T-rex bit into the Spinosaurus' neck. The latter somehow just brushed that off.
Spino is still bigger if they fight i think its 50:50 who will win
Darius 99 True it is bigger. But this new design would actually make Spinosaurus shorter than T-Rex (which is 13-15 feet tall).
And being unable to use its arms (which were what helped it break the T-Rex's neck in Jp3). Spinosaurus could literally do nothing to hold back an attacking T-Rex besides its weak set of jaws.
In fact, all T-Rex really would have to do to kill Spino was push it over. A Spinosaurus' sail is a severe handicap that prevents it from rolling over. In fact, since its sail is actually a bunch of neural spines connecting to its back vertebrae, a Spinosaurus would instantly die if its sail ever got bent because its back would be broken.
I'm sorry, but T-Rex would win this fight.
Laserbeak316 spino still can go on back leggs to be taller and more importantly to look bigger to scears enemy and also can us claws buth i think they not inportant that fight in jp3 is silly.
Winner is one who gets enemy neck first and if spino get trex neck t rex is dead if t rex get spino neck like in jp3 spino is dead.And u say spino cant roll well its not inportant if any one fell on ground he is dead any way(sorry for bad english)
Darius 99 Dude, no offense or anything, but you are wrong about a number of things:
1) Spino rearing up on its back legs will NOT intimidate or scare a T-Rex. Tyrannosaurus was the largest predator of its time and the only thing that it feared was another Tyrannosaurus, there was no other large predator around that it had to compete with. So it took on tough prey such as the horned Triceratops, the armored Ankylosaurus, and the duck-billed Edmontosaurus (which was around the same size as T-Rex, proving that T-Rex could take down prey just as big as itself). In fact it's possible that it may have even preyed upon the giant Alamosaurus, the last of the sauropod dinosaurs (there is no conclusive evidence, but it lived at the same time and around the same place T-Rex fossils have found, so it's highly possible that they may've encountered each other). Bottom line, Spinosaurus rearing up on its back legs would not scare a T-Rex in any way.
2) You may think its silly, but Spinosaurus using its arms was what helped it kill the T-Rex in JP3. They helped twist the T-Rex's neck until it broke, all its jaws did was hold the T-Rex in place while it used its arms. Without its arms, Spino has nothing that can hold back an attacking T-Rex. And sure it could use its arms while rearing up, but this new design makes Spino's arms incapable of grabbing or grasping. Spinosaurus had very weak jaws and teeth which is why it primarily fed on fish and smaller dinosaurs. T-Rex's jaws (on the other hand) were very strong and had a bite force 10x stronger than a Lion's. And its teeth were designed to both tear flesh and crush bone.
3) The Winner IS NOT the one who gets the neck first. If Spinosaurus does get T-Rex by the neck, so what? It doesn't have the jaw strength to strangle the T-Rex or break its neck. T-Rex is able to both strangle and break Spinosaurus' neck.
4) It does matter that Spino can't roll over, that makes it even harder for it to get back up when its knocked over on its side. And as I previously stated, if its sail ever gets bent then its back breaks as well. T-Rex can survive a fall and get back up without worry of breaking anything.
This fight is still not 50/50, T-Rex would win. Spinosaurus may have been bigger, but it was just not designed or equipped to take on large animals like T-Rex could.
I like this Spino more than the one that walks on all fours, but since the tail has been discovered, they could just add the tail to this design.
Like if you like this model better :)
Trex is still the biggest land carnivore spino is the biggest water carnivore
All dinosaurs can swim, so tyrannosaurus is the biggest water dinosaur
T-Rex is still my favourite.
T-rex had the strongest jaws of any dinosaur and was heavier than Spino, according to Nat Geo.
Still the baddest dinosaur! ;)
Sorry that was posted a long time ago.
No the that goes to giganotosaurus
shihan ayman what makes giganotosaurus more bad then t rex? arms still not big enough to use as a weapon against t rex, and jaws are relatively weak compared to t rex.
Spino weights 10 tones.
T-rex weights 5 tones.
Check in the internet!
Teodor Manolov T-rex weighed 8 tones, and when you walk on all 4's 90% of the time, weight dosnt matter.
