However, they seem to have been good for digging to make nests or for prey buried in the ground (pg. Also their lack of grasping capabilities seem to hinder their ability to catch prey as well. However, Hone and Holtz (2017) said that Spinosaurus' (and other spinosaurids') arms could not reach up to its snout, so using its arms and claws to catch prey wouldn't seem to work. These would have been good for slicing fish open (Ibrahim et al., 2014, pg. Its arms were long and equipped with sharp claws. This would have helped Spinosaurus to catch its prey, presumably by using its long neck to shove its snout at fish. Fabbri et al., (2022) says that it was, given the extremely thick bone density of the animal (pp. Sereno et al., (2022) have concluded that Spinosaurs was semi-aquatic but not an aquatic predator (Abstract Conclusions). This helps to conclude that Spinosaurus was indeed semi-aquatic (Arden et al., 2018). Spinosaurus' eyes sat on the top of its head, which would have helped it to see while submerged in the water. Its nostrils were positioned below its eyes, allowing Spinosaurus to keep its snout in the water without the fear of drowning. It was 29-47 feet long (8.8-14.2 meters), and weight 3.6-7.2 tons. It had a long and slender skull that were filled with conical-shaped teeth. Spinosaurus lived in the Albian-Cenomanian of the early-late Cretaceous period, 113-94 million years ago.
Let's talk about Spinosaurus, probably the most confusing, and most heavily debated, dinosaur of all time!
