Spinosaurus is a carnivorous dinosaur famous for its impressive size and unique features. It lived during the Cretaceous period, approximately 112 to 93 million years ago, and was first discovered in North Africa. Spinosaurus is recognized for its distinctive crest resembling a dorsal sail along its vertebrae, giving it a unique appearance among dinosaurs.

This giant dinosaur could reach up to 49 feet in length and weigh up to 20 tons. Its diet was predominantly piscivorous, meaning it primarily fed on fish, being adapted to live near aquatic environments like rivers and lakes. Its elongated jaws and conical teeth were ideal for capturing aquatic prey, indicating a lifestyle similar to that of modern crocodiles.
