Introduction

The Spinosaurus is a truly unique dinosaur, distinguished by its massive sail-like structure on its back and its semi-aquatic lifestyle. It lived during the Cretaceous period in what is now North Africa.

Anatomy and Adaptations

The Spinosaurus was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs, even larger than the T-Rex. Its most striking feature was the sail on its back, formed by elongated neural spines. Its snout was similar to that of a crocodile, adapted for catching fish.

Habitat and Diet

Fossil evidence suggests that Spinosaurus spent much of its time in and around water. Its diet likely consisted primarily of fish, but it may have also preyed on other dinosaurs and reptiles.

Recent Discoveries

Recent fossil discoveries have revealed more about the Spinosaurus, including its tail, which was adapted for swimming.
