Spinosaurus News ~

[GuateGojira]

Science is not about what you "like" or what you "think". Science is about facts based in evidence. In this case, evidence suggest that Spinosaurus was an aquatic dinosaur that had adaptations that allowed it to live most of the time in the water. Dr Ibrahim and all the team behind him had presented evidence, but when I read the post of Witton he do not present any evidence, just speculations from his part. Also, he forget the fact that the Spinosaurus had sacs of air in its body, so the weight of the tails is no problem, the Sauropods already showed that. It is funny that first the people complained that the animals was too long in the front part to be a biped and now that we had a big tail to contrarest, they complain that the tail is too long! Seriously, the fans of "Jurassic Park 3" must forget that false monster and accept the real animal.

There are very few videos in English from REAL experts that actually take the time to explain all the information about Spinosaurus, but I can show two videos (in Spanish) from a true Paleontologist where he explain that the information about Spinosaurus is accurate, although he also critizise that the previous idea that Spinosaurus was cuadruped had no real base. I can translate it is you want:

You can search him in Youtube and Facebook as "Palaeos".

What we actualy know is that Spinosaurus was a bidepal animal, that lived most of the time in water and that his head had more affinities with Conger Eels than with crocodiles:
