2. This is better than the Jurassic Park fight between Spinosaurus and T-Rex.

3. 1:35 Vibe check

4. Me and my friend fighting for the last pizza roll

5. It probably never fought any other dinosaurs as Spinosaurus is the worlds first Marine Dinosaur if you look at the picture of it, its body would tip over if it didnt use it front legs to support it body,it lived mainly in water and feed on other marine creatures about 14 to 16 feet in lengh which would easy keep Spinosaurus happy.This clip is so very wrong

6. When 2 Class Genius have different answers

7. Da medo

8. Spinosaurus has devastating 13 cm. teeth and 30 cm. claws epic!

11. The spinosoaurus dont looks and atack like that, the sail is a thicc skin, their walk whit their four hands,

12. They really make this stuff up as they go. 94 million years ago sea levels rose because of climate change? Really? How about 5 thousand years ago sea level rose because God sent a great flood to destroy all life on Earth. At least we agree that they were destroyed as a result of water…

27. Another inaccurate depiction of an aquatic/semi-aquatic fish eater versus a terrestrial predator.

    Carcharodontosaurus was evolved to maneuvering about on dry land. It would have been faster, more agile, and has a kit adapted to deal with land-based prey. If the most recent studies are correct, the Spino would have been a relatively clumsy creature when away from the water. It would have retreated into the river before even considering engaging with a terrestrial-based theropod.

    Spino never had to "fight" with its prey. Pulling a fish from the river is not even in the same realm as hunting prey that can very easily defend itself and inflict mortal injury on the hunter. Even in a life and death struggle, the Spino just wouldn't stand a chance. I would wager that a sub-adult Carcharodontosaurus would have easily fended off a full-grown Spino in this situation, if not actively hunted down the Spino.

    I think a simple comparison can be painted here. Think of a lion (Carcharodontosaurus) and a crocodile (Spinosaurus). The crocodile is far larger and has a far stronger bite. The crocodile's armament, however, is highly adapted to be used in the water (or to conduct ambush hunting *from* the water). Lion vs crocodile in the water or near the water's edge? Crocodile, 100% of the time. Croc would either use ambush on offense or retreat to deeper water to avoid the confrontation.

    But take that crocodile from the safety and concealment of water? Lions can run cricles around it. A lion would actively hunt a land-locked crocodile. A 20 foot, 2,400 lb crocodile would not leave the water to hunt an 800 lb male lion. Said lion would not enter the water to hunt said crocodile. But in a showdown of the two on dry land, the lion would make short work of the crocodile.
