Spinosaurus aegyptiacus
Description:
Spinosaurus was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs, surpassing even Tyrannosaurus rex in size, and lived during the Cretaceous period about 112 to 93 million years ago. Characterized by the large sail-like structure on its back, made from elongated vertebrae, Spinosaurus was unique among theropods due to its semi-aquatic lifestyle. It likely hunted both on land and in water, preying on fish and small dinosaurs. Its long, narrow snout and conical teeth were perfect for catching slippery prey, while its sail may have been used for thermoregulation or display.
