There is no real Spinosaurus. There won’t be until a relatively complete skeleton is found or described from the rumored specimens Nizar Ibrahim and team have come across. The story of Spinosaurus has been told countless times by now, but I highly doubt all of the nuances of just how complex and convoluted the mess of African Spinosaurus research is has been dealt out in video form.

I can't speak for other Spinosaurus fans however, I can speak for myself and I can say that Spinosaurus interests me so much because of the mystery. Yes, when I was younger I wanted Spinosaurus to be this superior predatory monster that destroyed all in its path however, as an adult I now find Spinosaurus fascinating for its distinct features and ecological niche. Even if Spinosaurus turned out to be nothing more than an oversized sailed crocodilian, it interests me that it is seemingly the ONLY species in the class of Theropod to adapt fully to a semi-aquatic lifestyle, no other Theropod or any other Dinosaur for that matter can say the same. Sure, Spinosaurus' predecessors like Suchomimus and Baryonyx were adapted to catch fish but by no means were decent swimmers. What interests me even more about the creature is not what Spinosaurus is but rather, what it could have become. When you look at a group of animals such as the Mosasaurus and realize that they hail from land based reptiles, it really makes me wonder what Spinosaurus could have evolved into had the destruction of its habitat by rising ocean levels not been as fast as they had been. Considering Spinosaurus' already impressive size, being bigger than Tyrannosaurus Rex of all creatures in height and length, imagine what a leviathan Spinosaurus could have been when given the freedom of the open ocean. Perhaps it would have evolved to out compete Mosasaurus or Plesiosaurus but even better, perhaps Spinosaurus would've been able to dominate multiple niches in the prehistoric oceans. Even if Spinosaurus turned out to be a trunked blubbery seal or a semi-aquatic Dinosaur, Spinosaurus is the poster creature for the advancements we've made in the paleontological field. If you ask me, Spinosaurus is just as important to paleontology as Megalosaurus, the very first dinosaur found and documented. Watching Spinosaurus change so drastically over the years to where I myself can witness it further cements my love for the field and the species.

@alienstar2088 2 года назад

@@PedroRPFerraz At the end of the day, life is going to evolve for one thing and one thing only, survival. Though survival and combat can often come hand in hand, life seemingly prefers to take the path of least resistance and what is more least resisting than a giant murder croc with functioning arms? Spinosaurus was probably as large as it is in response to living with other massive predators. It probably used its size to intimidate those same predators. Really when you think about it that's the biggest flex of any carnivorous animal, why win battles when you can just be so damn scary no one wants to fight you? I personally believe that Spinosaurus was a specialist, sinking most of its time and resources into catching fish but I also think it played a role Tyrannosaurus Rex itself plays, the role of bully. I believe Spinosaurus used its size in order to bully other carnivorous Dinosaurs from their kills when the opportunity presented itself, why else would there be signs of conflict from these large predators in the fossil record if that was not the case? Other large carnivores didn't feed on fish as it did and they most likely didn't view Spinosaurus as prey so the only other option is being faced with competition. So at the very least, we Spinosaurus fans can take solace in the battle department using this argument. Spinosaurus was literally so large and scary that it encouraged other predators not to mess with it unless it was stealing their food and even then they wouldn't want to most of the time.

I was thinking about them in terms of Megaloceras (hear me out). When I went to Dublin a few years ago, I got to go to the natural history museum there, and on every wall of the first floor, they had Megaloceras skulls from end to end. This not only showed the wealth of Megaloceras skulls in Ireland (yes, I am defending the name Irish - Canada geese don't just live in Canada and nobody complains), but it also shows the variety in the antlers. Looking at the different spine morphotypes, my initial thought is that spinosaurus sails could have been as variable as antlers

@megatronyeets 2 года назад

Different thickness might also have something to do with different regions said spinosaurus was from, (ik this is barely related, but) like how grey wolves of the northern regions are on average larger than grey wolves further south.

@oppolacoste4989 2 года назад

@@megatronyeets Fair point, not to mention that it could be a different race of spinosaurus. Take in consideration that races can variate between the littlest details, that includes coloring, size and shapes of each parts of the body. Considering that those fossils have all been found at such distinct spots on the map, it is possible that certain spinos did adapt into different races thanks to different enviroments. That happens on modern days animals too, it could be a possibility

He was anti Nazi, but lost 2 out of 3 sons due to the war. His fossils were blown to bits. Only his detailed drawings remained. JP3 helped realized his dream of Spino being seen by the world. But that discovery in 2014 probably had his ghost crying tears of joy.🥲

Now they came up with another progressive stupidity that spinosaurus was marine in circumstances that if it swam it would turn around and the crest of the back would be down and the belly up exactly like the belly of ships therefore spinosaur was not marine and would have drowned in water .even if you make a spinosaurus model and put it in the water it flips upside down

@c.r.blankenship9040 2 года назад

@@gatoninja4387 I believe those studies (and indeed, those models) assumed Spinosaurus swam like a crocodile or early whale, but to my knowledge, studies wherein the animal swims more like a duck have not been performed, though I think it was postulated that such a posture would have shifted the animal’s center of gravity to where it could be upright. I don’t know if there would be evidence to back this up, but that is one possibility, and would also make sense considering the positioning of the nostrils is more like that of wading birds. Also keep in mind that we really don’t have a complete skeleton, and we don’t know what the sail was covered with. The exact type of flesh covering would likely change the math somewhat.

Was it bipedal or quadrupedal? Was it semi aquatic or fully aquatic? What shape of tail did it have? Just during the 21 century alone, all these things have been changing in its depictions, without there being a consensus in the scientific community. Eventually, all this conflicting information made me come to the conclusion that maybe Spinosaurus was not, in fact, a single species, as it has been portrayed, but several species of the same genus. This video has made me even more certain of my theory. It was a joy to watch.

Oxalaia is actually pronounced "oshalaia" because the name comes from the afro-brazilian deity Oxalá

I have some doubts and suspicions about the 2014 design, especially with the back legs being too short for the dinosaur. For all we know they could be the back legs of another theropod dinosaur. And now this weird tail paddle added for the 2020, it might be from a mosasaur or a giant newt/salamander. Though I don’t mind the design of the spines of spinosaurus, since that design could help spinosaurus out while fishing for fish.

@kentrosaurusboi3909 2 года назад

As these specimens were found in relatively the same place, I wouldn't bet that these aren't Spinosaurus. And I doubt a mosasaur would have found it's way into the narrow flatbeds and deltas that is the Kem-Kem Beds.

Spinosarus is my favorite dinosaur predator i hope one day they find whether privately and we hope that person donates it or it is bought by someone benevolent and donated or on a local museum expedition, a semi perfect of perfectly fossilized spinosaurus that can put to bed most of issues of reconstructing and kick out what shouldn't belong, but one can dream i still find it hard to believe spinosaurus is like the dinosaur crocodile even if it was able to swim well, it would be just as capable on land i find hard to believe the posture they put it in when walking the legs look too short to me, and why would it have the enormous hand claws if it was eating fish as its main meal, all it needs is a robust long skull as those fish at that time were huge can't have a flimsy ghariel skull and claws matching have to make sense and the body looks too long imo but one day i maybe right i maybe completely wrong just need that semi perfect or perfect fossil.
