Spinosaurus

For the Spinosaurus that appears in the anime, see Spiny.

As fossil material is incomplete (and for a time all known specimens had been destroyed), size estimates have ranged wildly, going as high as 60 ft, though that extreme is now thought unlikely. In some recent reconstructions, the hind limb size of Spinosaurus, initially unknown and based on other theropods, has been drastically reduced, rendering the dinosaur almost necessarily quadrupedal and implying it to be primarily aquatic rather than terrestrial.
