Spinosaurus is the No. 1 dinosaur who sounds like it was named by an 8 year old who just shouted the first thing that came to mind when he saw a picture of it. It is referred to as a Spinosaurus due to the large dorsal spine. And while the T-Rex is often thought of as the ‘King of the Dino Jungle’, the larger species of Spinosaur were the largest carnivorous dinosaurs that walked the land. Their formidability was made even greater by Spinos mouth, which was filled with long, narrow, razor sharp teeth. If you ever find yourself choosing between fleeing from a T-Rex or Spinosaurus… you’re likely screwed either way, but it would not be recommended to choose the Spinosaur.
