Not Quite, I kinda saw the Spino a Semi-Aquatic/ Amphibious Animal
No because it doesn’t make sense
I prefer the old times on where the spinosuarus isn’t a elephant seal
"my source is that i made it the fuck up" - probably this guy
OP was wrong. Look again

Maybe the real aquatic dinosaurs were the friends we made along the way.

… did anyone really think it was a completely aquatic dinosaur? I thought the consensus was that it was amphibious like a crocodile or duck
Yes, those famous amphibians, crocs and ducks 😂 j/k

@@swayback7375 they said amphibious. Not that it was an amphibian.
The part where spino used its sail to fly made me laugh.
Spinosaurus in 2030: A perfect sphere.
Spinosaurus Yomamas
Finally, the ideal spinosaur.
I've read a good amount of passages in this paper and I have to say it makes sense. These arguments are so strong against Spinosaurus being fully aquatic that I don't think there will be much more debate about that, only on how it may have lived as a semi-aquatic animal.
My hypothesis is it’s like a Spoonbill and a Heron. The Jurassic Park 3 iteration is the most accurate we can ever get with current evidence. I mean the only argument someone can bring up is their tail but I think it ran more smaller spines on the back of the tail as a display with the bigger sails on its back. Their really isn’t a reason Spino walked on all 4 because The related group didn’t either.
@@nachodorito6955 did you forget the bone density of spinosaurus?
@@MB32904 doesn’t mean that it flys like a heron oml it hunts in the sameway with its nose it the water waiting for to ambush. Now it’s bone density probably comes from the fact it has to support those huge sails and instead of evolving one area’s bone density nature would just increase the whole skeleton structure instead.
@@nachodorito6955 holy shit, how the fuck can DENSE BONES be used in FLIGHT!? what do you think I am saying?
@@nachodorito6955 it isnt accurate in jp3 it coild be jp3
The best analogy I've heard for what spinosaurus's lifestyle may have been like was "hell heron". Seems to be best fit for me, it hunted along waterways but did not live most of its life in the water.
And herons fly too! It all fits
@@coryman125 and have beaks and eat baby crocodiles, it all fits
But Herons have long legs and necks to hunt efficiently in shallow water, also they can easily move between water bodies by flying. I think Spino could definitely swim relatively well, even if it didn't actually pursue prey underwater.
@@matyaskassay4346 obviously I'm not talking about the fact they can fly. I'm referring to the idea of wading in water and hunting fish, crocodiles and eating carrion. I'm sure it could swim fine but I think it's lifestyle would be akin to a flightless heron or stork.
@@bloodswan I think a mix between heron and gharial would be the best way to describe it, since it probably hunted with a mostly submerged body in deeper water and used electroreception to detect fish rather than sight from above water, since it didn't have binocular vision.
Bruh its almost like the whole world got pissed at the spino for beating up the t-rex and now they have dedicated the last 2 decades trying to completely humilate and ruin spino's appereance by making him look uglier and goofier each year that passes xD
You know what, i second this notion, and to that notion i'll also add the fact that while Spino is getting relatively uglier over the past decade, T-Rex has gotten buff after buff and now some even believe that T-Rex is once again the biggest terrestrial carnivore to ever exist, beating Spino and Giga
@@ariqsyafwan4987 Technically heaviest. Spino still got the length
@@justapillow2443 🤓
Wdym uglier? Modern reconstruction spino looks way better than one in jurassic park
@@phuripongphansiri1740 bruh
My theory is that the Spinosaurus stood in neck deep waters for hours at a time with just the head and the sail sticking out. This would explain why they had such large sails, because the large surface area of the sail sticking out above the water would have helped the Spinosaurus regulate it's body temperature by getting heated from the warm sun, preventing it from getting hypothermia. Also the position of the nostrils would support this model because the Spinosaurus could stay still for hours with it's mouth underwater while breathing. Additionally, the flat tail, while insufficient to provide any meaningful propulsion on it's own, would have been a useful when used in combination it's legs to quickly burst forward in an ambush attack.
I can agree with this, it seems like other, more primitive spinosaurids had a more heron-like lifestyle with longer legs and without a prominent sail, while spino adapted to being submerged in deeper water, also probably swimming on the surface at least from one water body to the other.
I don't really think it'd do it for hours at a time. It's not as if it's a cold-blooded crocodile that has to bathe in the sun for a long time. Of course, it could be used for momentary heat regulation, but I don't think it's anything more than that.
If it was at a depth where you'd just have the neck and spine stick out then it would be quite difficult for it to quickly strike forward. If you imagine that it'd move through the water like a hippo you'd be incorrect, as the Hippo's density allows it to sink and effectively use it's feet underwater. It probably wouldn't be able to lunge forward like a crocodile either due to the lack of propulsion from the tail and drag caused by the limbs. I don't see it as an effective strategy. When it waded it used it's relatively long and (extremely) flexible neck to strike fish. You should check out how much it bends, it's basically like a swan's neck.
Wouldn't it be too buoyant to go that deep in the water
Alright, there you have it, a shape-shifting dinosaur!
If it was standing in water all day, the ridge on its back would be important for temperature regulation. Makes sense.
It may also be possible that they have been used to impress females, just as birds do with bright colors, mating calls, and some courtship dance.
@@gerardotarifaskorpian The thing is, peacocks fold their feathers in to live practically most of the time.. until they need to show off.
ALSO, they aren't predators.. A giant fin on the back that cannot be tucked away is quite detrimental to ambushing things even if their in the water, much bigger shadow being cast round them.
I just don't think it's for mating purposes, UNLESS it happen to also serve that dual purpose.. Kinda doubt it though, seems its for survival
I think they were Earth's first chill dude wave surfers. Hanging out at the beach, eatin' some fish, having a swim. Until one of them, probably while wearing ancient stone sunglasses, came up with the idea of using logs and their sails to surf and get all groovy like.
I, of course have indsputable proof of this, many doctorates and diplomas, and tons of literature on this subject. It's somewhere in the library. I swear, just keep looking. If it's not there, you're in the wrong library.
They use it to navigate while flying(obvious joke)
They really got dr. fish to settle it. Great video, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
The new Spinosaurus looks like an archaeological shitpost.
IMHO, it must have been a floating duck-like animal, using its tail for propulsion, simultaneously keeping its head out of water. That is why it also has a sail to regulate body temperature, taking advantage of the sun outside.
Right? Maybe the water currents there were a little cold, like the Galapagos islands today, they were almost floating in the water tanning their sails and looking for prey that lived underwater like eels and fish..
@@fenrirgg It seems plausible to me...
@@Vazgen_Ghazaryan remember, the only way spinosaurus could have another form is that the scientists have not done enough research
The sail does make more sense in this context, since spino most likely didn't have any kind of insulation unlike swimming birds, it might've needed the warmth from the sun to keep a high body temperature.
That Paleo art looks like the Jurassic park 3 spino if it was staring in Tusk
Naawwwwww😭
I decided this after discovering the lack of remains as well as the lose of them in WW2… ALL INFO ON SPINOSAURS SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH AN ENTIRE BOTTLE OF SALT!
I’m more surprised about the discussion of the Trex size that have happened recently.
Cálculo, por tu nombre, q hablas español...me dirias de donde puedo informarme acerca de esos nuevos estudios q decis? No encontré nada
I am watching this just past midnight. I have a novice interest in dinosaurs. This is (so far) the only video from your channel that I have seen. Watching a spino 3D model aggressively flap its spinal sail and take flight was so unexpectedly ridiculous that I'm still laughing out loud like a madman. Please, take my like.
How long before we just find a hibernating spinosaurus underground?
Bold of you to assume we could even determine if it was a spinosaurus.
You fool, he's obviously hiding beneath the surface of the moon
Uhm... actually no, that would be impossible, ahaha.
Ahem, evolution is like, a thing, so clearly you are very misinformed and lack the brainpower to come to the only possible conclusion here. They evolved into lizard people before humanity's rise. And they now live deep underneath the Earth's crust, having long since awoken from their long slumber, which they had for... reasons, and also they hate us... also for reasons, and also they're secretly creating global warming and remotely controlling the Clintons.
This debate ain't over yet I sure 😂
Unless we find a near compete or mummified remains of Spinosaurus🤣
Or unless we build a time machine and see one ourselves.
I like to believe that there are multiple types of spinosaurus’ and not just a single semi-aquatic species. This could add to the biodiversity in the past in order to show the correlation between the Cretaceous period and the present day birds.
I've seen the reconstructions of spinosaurus, and I can't imagine it doing regular, fully immersed swimming in any body of water. That sail is just to damned awkward. Fishing like a Grizzly bear... Oh, yeah. And intimidating other predators out of their kills? Sure. Most modern predators judge threats by relative mass. Have Spiny siding up like a cat, hissing like a steam kettle and occasionally slashing with those claws and even big Carcarodontians might decide to eat elsewhere.
Yeah I agree with at least the current model we have to work with the spiny back only seems to make the animal look bigger and nothing else. Though I suppose it could also be something like those with larger back spine ridge are choosen first to mate with
Spinosaurus eating crabs sound hilarious
I dunno why
It feels like Spinosaurus gets its design changed every year lol
they should swim like some birds, with their head and neck out of the water, using their tail and legs as a means of locomotion, they would also have dense bones, not hollow like other theropods, their sail would also be out of the water , like this, not getting in the way, I think he could swim like this, The strong arms could also help in swimming, keeping them much more stable, I'm not a paleontologist to say anything like that, but I believe it's not something so fanciful.
It just never ends with our most popular weirdest dinosaur.
when you look at other sailed animals like dimetrodon, platyhistrix and secodontosaurus it makes a lot of sense because they did not live in water.
Seen this shit is why we need to invent a Time Machine, so we can go back to the Cretaceous and put an end to this once and for all.
good idea we shall go back in time and destroy the asteroid and then we will have spinosaurus in the present day to look at
@@booleybTheClown We only thrived because we lost the Dinosaurs to that cosmic booger.
Spinosaurus just sanded on shallow rivers and caught fish without swimming that much
Yes! I just thought everyone knew this, I didn’t know there was a theory that they were fully aquatic
@@THE_littleguy14 if it was fully aquatic it would have had flippers not legs and hands
This is how I think it will end: middle ground between land and water, wading and catching fish, as well as opportunistic aquatic hunting in fresh and brackish water
"Spinosaurus is NOT an aquatic dinosaur". -- BIG BROTHER from 1984
(Second edit: I wrote this comment before watching the video, you really beat me to the punch.)
It's not aquatic now? I'm pretty sure we'll find out next year that this thing could fly.
Then we'll find out that it actually couldn't and it was aquatic after all.
The truth is actually that it was a burrower and spent 99% of its life underground like a naked mole rat.
( joking aside, this makes a ton of sense)
He just needs to have bicephalism and with the possibility of spitting fire like a bloody 2-headed dragon >:D
My hypothesis is that the spinosaurus would hide under water waiting for something to come to take a drink of the water that’s why it’s neck could lounge, or it’s sits on water like a duck
That’s a pretty imaginative thumbnail tho- kudos to the artist with creativity
I mean it looks like the stretched an elephant seal hide over a spino skeleton
That is the famous Spinofaarus Vulgaris. A quite ridiculous parody reconstruction.
Just a side note. Seals live in lake Bikal. ( totally non marine)
So it was an amphibian crocodile/platypus/otter type Dino. Neat.
Basically Spinosaurus was more like a stork with a crocodile like skull.
I like chubby seal spino. I can't think of anything more terrifying
So you think that basically a giant duck with a sail is more terrifying than a t-rex with a crocodile as their face and a sail ontop of their body?
Spinosaurus doesn't even know what he is anymore😢
Maybe spinosaurus is in the middle of evolving, the nose hole says otherwise, picking between near front mouth or near eye.
One correction I wanna make, there are indeed many freshwater seals that live or lived in lakes of northern Russia and Scandinavia
Also crocodiles... duh
Is it weird I still keep thinking of Spino as Croco-duck because the name makes me giggle despite all the arguments about the body parts.
Strange how growing up I was a dino nerd and had never once heard of the spino until Jurassic park 3 🤔
Spinosaurus is a prehistoric swan
I thought it was always known that Spinosaurus was only semi-aquatic
Can’t wait for them to find out Spino owned a car and worked a local 9 to 5.
So Spinofaarus isn’t accurate because of this news.
spinosaurs is the most controversial dinosaur ever
If only the medical field was this open to being wrong about certain recent medical issues...
Mark my words: the next spinosaurus update will add a huge belly full of blubber to compensate for the sail and allow it to dive again.
Spino just stood on land near a body of water and caught fish with telekinesis and other psychic powers
God these elephant seal comparisons are cursed 🫥
That spine was actually full of helium and the spinosaurus propelled itself through the air by farting vigorously.
Our confusion with Spino comes from the fact that we have no similar animals today, especially not large carnivorous ones to compare the lifestyle of this extinct animal to. IMO, the closest "relative" we have today in this sense to Spino - would be Heron. Large tall predatory snap neck mostly watery ways predator.
Great video, I lost it at Dr. Fish and that ending.
Holy shit I’ve rediscovered the channel that made that spinosaurus vs trex video like 8 years ago lmao I remember that now.
Spinosaurus: Hey look, I *Shapeshifted into a dead guy* *AHHhHHHhHHHH*
Spino : change every half years
T. Rex : stay dino chad
What the hell is this thing now???
It's been like 8 different things.
I'm gonna start saying it was a giant Newt if I don't get a good answer.
At this point, our society is a complete failure now
I kinda see spino as more of a more aquatically adapted grizzly.
I bet next year we will see another new take on the look.
I still think Spinosaurus hunted and lived mainly on a diet of cheeseburgers, and I'll soon be releasing an extensive paper on the subject.
I just wonder what the tail was for then
I wonder how it could walk efficiently on two legs with two huge paws dangling in front of it...
TO FLY.
It was a chainsaw weapon i figured it out
Spinosaurus is probably my favorite fully evolved starter pokemon
So if Spino isn't semi-aquatic, how/why would it have evolved denser bones like a hippopotamus?
Well dense bones aren't just for smei Aquatic or fully Aquatic animals it helps support massive bodies
I always thought it was semi-aquatic.
The argument about large aquatic predators living in the ocean makes zero sense. What about crocodilians, river dolphins and the multiple species of sharks and seals that also enter brackish- and freshwaters?
Srsly starting to convince myself, that Spinosaurus was a missing link between ducks & crocodiles.
As an avid spino fanboy
I have actually given up trying to figure out if spino was aquatic or not
your right, its not. its a *Semi* aquatic animal, there is a difference
Its a semi aquatic 2 leged reptile of action
What’s next, the spinosaurus is arboreal, hopping from tree to tree?
2027:spinosaurus doesn’t exist
A few moments later: Spinosaurus IS an aquatic dinosaur!
Creo que la razón por la que decimos que es bípedo semiacuatico es por su parentesco con teropodos como baryonix
At this point everyone’s a scientist 😮💨🤦🏼♂️
Also the short legs were debunked in a recent discovery. They could only hold up 1 ton, (half the weight of a carnotaurus) so these legs were certainly not belonging to the (at least) 7 ton , spinosaurs aegypticus. Its likely these legs were for a smaller undsicovered spinosaur species, in morocco.
Its seems the 2014 nizar spino, wasnt even a spinosaurus aegypticus
Don't take Twitter threads as fact.
@@Deform-2024 lmao!! Not from a twitter thread. Its a study by scott persons et al. FSAC specimen (the short legged one) has femurs that were too weak, to hold up 7 tonnes, they would simply splinter and break. So this is very likeky a different species.
Furthermore FSAC was found in morrocoo, not egypt, so it very well could be a different species from the much larger spinosaurus from egypt(MSNM and BSP). FSAC is only known from a single neural spine, legs and tail parts. So again its very likely a different spinosaur. The egyptian spino is 7.5 tonnes, so its pretty much confirmed these short legs didnt belong to spinosaurus aegypticus.
The egyptian spinosaurus certainly had larger, thicker legs to support its weight. Short legged spino model is dead with this study. The general consensus now is that there are two species . Spinosaurus moroccanus(smaller with short legs)and spinosaurus aegypticus (massive apex predator, with unknown legs, but certainly larger than we thought).
We cannot let our hatred for this dinosaur cloud us from accurate represnentaion of it. The spinosaurus likely did NOT have short, weak legs. Its biophysically impossible!
@@niallmoseley6760 So much wrong with that comment, but not worth it to argue. Don't make assumptions.
@@Deform-2024 please explain a little i would like to learn more. No arguement promise
@@Deform-2024 These are not asumptions, these are based on evidence from studies. The quadrapedal spino, was an assumption, made by a professional. Not this, this is hard facts
Why is spinofaarus in the thumbnail?
So, to date, the only dinosaurs capable of swimming would be the penguins.
Aand ducks, geese, cormorants, gannets, loons, auks and many many other birds. Also possibly Halszkaraptor.
Until time travels are possible we will never ever know what the past really looked like!
We were right about the rich oxygen atmosphere, though.
Na we don’t need time travel, we just need a camera that see into the past… maybe we can shoot a Webb style telescope out into deep space and faster than light speed and then it could look back at earth fro a couple hundred million years away… then it would see what earth looked like back then… course it would need so pretty good cameras to zoom in that far and get us decent vids observing all our Dino friends doing their Dino things…
Problem solved, not sure why no one thinks outside the box
@@swayback7375 Not kidding - i've been thinking about this also
Of course Spinosaurus is NOT an aquatic dinosaur. Everybody knows Spinosaurus was Salt'n'Pepa's deejay.
What if, it “swam” like a hippo?
Basing this entirely on what would be terrifying to see & not on any evidence
So, walk underwater?
2024: actually Spinosaurus was able to fly using its sail and would actually eat meteorites in space
When even crocodiles are not considered aquatic, why would spinosaurus be?
That’s not the Spinosaurus. That is the Spinofaarus.
This is excellent proof that even though scientists may say they have it right this time, they’ve been wrong before. Not dissing scientists or paleontologists because a lot of them a smart, but Spinosaurus will always change no matter what anyone says unless we can jump back in time
That's how science works?
@@ExtremeMadnessX a lot of people don’t seem to realize that
Yes…. It was… not entirely aquatics but it was a submersible species that went in water like the Marine Iquana
So in short it wasn’t a sail back crocodile which makes sense. Wasn’t four legged which THANK YOU makes sense. Wasn’t really a very good swimmer….ouch…so he’s pretty much a big stork/wading bird snatching things from the bank or small creatures on land. I guess a sail crane is fine
Always just makes me think of a carnivorous Deinocheirus.
Probably closer to a bear than a bird.
maybe it walked under water like a hippo does hippo cant swim fun facted
@@SirenHead00 too Buoyant to get below the surface
That thumbmail is giving me some serious "tusk" vibes 😨
i never knew it was not an aquatic dino i thought it was but now i know
I always knew, that was the best part.. 😮💨😊
Now we're back to the JP3 depiction.
See you in 3 years when we find out that spino actually slithered
I want someone to draw it looking like a Canadian Goose
Imagine if we found the only specimen who ate a Dead fish lying in the Ground for some reason and now we are basing all are theories on that
Wait for 2026 for us to discover that Spinosaurus Was a Blue Eyes White Dragon that Had an Atomic Breath and Lazer eyes
