    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!

      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.

      +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.
    It was a little odd how this video glossed over the pop culture rendition of Spinosaurus, that swayed scientific thinking until the later discoveries about seven years later. But I must thank you for focusing on the science.

      Sean Dewar The article is called "Evidence of a giant helmeted frog (Australobatrachia, Calyptocephalellidae) from Eocene levels of the Magallanes Basin, southernmost Chile"
      To be more precise: The estimated length of it is 580- 591 millimetres

    There is another spinosaurid that’s like the “bipedal spinosaurus”, sigilmassasaurus
    Plus, spinosaurus is not the only aquatic dinosaur, there’s halszkaraptor (and possibly the other spinosaurids)

      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)

    • @globin3477

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

    • @grendel8342
      @grendel8342 6 років тому +18

      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

      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.
