In 1912, a fossil collector discovered some strange bone fragments in the eerie, beautiful Cretaceous Bahariya rock formation of Egypt. Eventually, that handful of fossil fragments would reveal to scientists one of the strangest dinosaurs that ever existed -- the world’s only known semi-aquatic dinosaur.

Wait a minute.. so any depiction of spinosaurus that I've seen before 2014 was based on pictures of a few bones? That's actually quite impressive!

@xgodzhiredgunx 5 лет назад

LEGOSAURUS how did they figure out the arms is what I really want you know

@user-kw9hg9o 5 лет назад

Exist Outside The Box They probably used Spinosaurus' relatives as a reference

@BHuang92 5 лет назад

Also they calculated on size base on the bones unearthed a couple years ago since the original set was destroyed. Modern species such as crocodiles play a crucial role in how Spinosaurus behave as well.

@VampiricDarkDragon 5 лет назад

+Exist Outside The Box More fossil evidence and such. One of the major problems with the more bipedal depictions of Spinosaurus (based on what was known about most other therapod dinosaurs) was that paleontologists couldn't figure out how it didn't topple over, as it was far too front-heavy. The discovery of them possessing a quadrapedal stance solves this problem.

When i was in 2nd grade my teacher at the time made me do a report on a dinosaur. I remember looking at books for hours trying to decide which dinosaur to choose. I eventually settled on Spinosaurus; I remember thinking to myself this dinosaur is special. The information was sparse at the time, they knew it was discovered in africa; but that was it. I spent hours trying to find more information on It, and i did thanks to the to the early internet. I read and read more research about it; which i eventually understood after rereading them so many times. Anything just sate my curiosity; thinking back at it i even formed my own hypotheses about what the sail was used for. That research planted that little seed in me that eventually blossomed to a passion for Science. I'm in college rn majoring in Chemistry; and I'm just coming home to take a small break before i go back and study. Watching this video made me a little misty eyed as this was the reason my insatiable curiosity for the natural world came about. It puts things into perspective , you know?

From a Rex with a sail, to an armored giant, to a more crocodilian dinosaur. Spinosaurus has changed alot.

I think it would make sense that the sail, while the rest of the body was submerged, would help to regulate body temperature, and probably doubled as a display for mating. To have all these adaptations for life in water, I'd say it's quite obvious that they spent MOST of their time in water, not just some.

not possible for theropods to be quadrupedal. the upper body was not built to support their weight or walk in that fashion at all. the wish bone that theropods possess locked the shoulders in place, meaning that the arms could not move in the swinging motion that is needed for that kind of movement. The knuckle walking is also impossible, as its arms could not have supported its weight. The idea of a quadrupedal spinosaurus or any theropod is an outdated and impossible idea at best. it’s tail which was used for balance and the shift in center of gravity comes into play, thats another thing people forget. the idea that spinosaurus walked on all fours is laughable at best, the paper that was written was horribly rushed and not reviewed well enough before release. Its upper body anatomy and arm anatomy would not have allowed for it, it may have had shorter legs than previously thought but that does not mean it would have slumped over on to its arms, even though it was a light animal for its size its arms could still have not bore the weight with out breaking in some kind of way. (also did not mean to sound aggressive, was just passing on information)

To my understanding, Spinosaurus would have waddled like the aforementioned penguins... if that's the case, how did it catch prey on land?

@grendel8342 6 лет назад

it was a predominant aquatic predator, thats why it had aquatic adaptations.... The animals that it ate was around or in the water. The fish that it hunted were larger than some smaller boats. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/75/Spinosaurus_with_contemporaneous_taxa.jpg

Please do a video about how the ancestors of vertebrates and arthropods separated! I'd love to see what science knows about why and how such different solutions to limbed life came into being, and what adaptations occured in the cleavage point. :D

U guys forgot to mention about Scott Hartman’s reconstruction because the one you showed in the video is classed as inaccurate because the legs are 28% smaller than what they should be, but it was really enjoyable and I love hearing about its history during ww2 u guys r awesome so keep popping out these dinosaur videos

@svenheuseveldt7188 5 лет назад

Hartman only disagreed, he didn't prove that Ibrahims proportions are wrong, in fact Ibrahims team corrected Hartman on his reconstruction later on....

@thedoruk6324 4 года назад

+Mohammed Alassaf this video is *not* really 'that' accurate anymore Turns out that the Spinosaurus is more like the theropods, terrestrial dwelling. The Spinosaurus seem to be really unfit to diving; and not even swimming due to its anatomical structure, and placements of its organs, along with the fact that the *original* bio-isotope studies concluded that the spinosaurus is the most terrestrial spinosaurid and has similiar isotope compared to most theropods. Sources; Oxygen isotope evidence for semi-aquatic habits among spinosaurid theropods A buoyancy, balance and stability challenge to the hypothesis of a semi-aquatic Spinosaurus Stromer, 1915

@minhqun 6 лет назад

Freiherr=Freeman in German?

@johannageisel5390 6 лет назад

The literal translation would be "free lord" or "free master". A "Herr" is a man with a certain autority over other people. Although today "Herr" is the general polite form of adress for any man in German, similar to using "Mister" (from "master") in English. "Freiherr" is the lowest nobility title, equal to "baron" in French.

Spinosaurus was and is my favorite dinosaur growing up. Even though it may not look like it could take on a T. rex like in Jurassic park 3 it still looks badass as this is what it truly looked like and I’m happy to except the truth. It’s just like if dinosaurs had more proto feathers than we thought they are still cool and only true lovers of history will be able to except this.
