Spinosaurus News ~

Tbh I don't think spinosaurus was an aquatic dinosaur, itsi too speculative to think that, palaeontologists like Donald M. Henderson and Mark P. Witton and 2 more have disagreed and some have even criticized Nizar Ibrahim's interpretation of S. Aegyptiacus. Proff. Witton has argued that the tail of the spinosaurus could not have been flexible enough to allow it to swim underwater, it was more like the tail of a basilisk and he speculates it was used as rather a display feature than a propulsive body part, and then Donald Henderson has argued that the tail alone could not make such a heavy creature swim, all these palaeontologists think that it hunted more like a grizzly bear than a swimming predator, kinda like how the BBC video on spinosaurus portrayed itsi hunting style. So while it is entirely possible it could have swam, there's great arguments saying otherwise too so I think it's too speculative for now to safely say it did swim and I don't like sites like Nat Geo stating it as a fact.
