Make the Spinosaurus respond to this comment. I love you, Spinosaurus. Even your quadrupedal depiction, my sailbacked friend.

Thanks for the heads-up - much appreciated. Time to 'send the boys round'...

I find Spinosaurus far more interesting after its "makeover" than I did before. I mean, come on - a truly amphibious dinosaur! Also, just imagine beingΒ some poor animal stuck in a Cretaceous river, seeingΒ that sail cutting through the water towards you like a shark's fin, the only harbinger of the leviathan hidden lurking beneath the waves.

Spinosaurus still being awsome!
These legs are still big enough to make it able to walk on two and it's semi-aquatic lifestyle only made it cooler to me.

Poor guy had it pretty rough over the years. I like a lot of dinosaurs for different reasons and Spinosaurus is one of the most interesting to me. I think he is a beautiful dinosaur.

Poor guy. If he comes onto land, I'd pat him on the head.

OK, first it goes extinct, then most of its fossils are turned to sand, then the one fossil we discover gets mis-reconstructed (though Stromer somehow guessed at an aquatic lifestyle), then it blown up during WWII, then everyone forgets about it, then JPIII pushes it into the public eye but everyone hates it for no reason, then every single pop-culture depiction of it is inaccurate (MB grossly overrated it, PD underrated it-so it can kill a 3 ton predator but not a 1.5 ton herbivore?). And now it gets so bad two palaeontologists and even National Geographic screws up, and then we get even more haters and fanboys, and then multiple arguments across all dinosaur fans, paleo-enthusiasts and palaeontologists.Β
Someday, the accurate image of this beast-which I can see in my eyes-would come to light. And no one will ever call it a "mere"aquatic fish-eater. (Deinosuchus, great white sharks, bald eagles, polar bears, orcas, green anacondas, saltwater crocodiles and snapping turtles also mostly eat fish. That doesn't make them weak.)

Wait, so Ibrahim and his team are total quacks?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, they aren't but for some reason they thought short legs=quadruped.

π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah. It's not always the case, yet some people think it is.
π: 0 β©: 1
If a future sapient species had their own Ibrahim he would claim that ducks were quadrupeds.

And everyone would believe him.

And that species' version of us would be complaining.

I have to say, I feel real bad for Spiny. I understand that people love an intimidatingΒ carnivore and considering that its the biggest, they want him to be the most intimidating. But people need to accept that life and science doesn't work that way. Now there may be a chance that the legs may have belonged to a juvenile like every skeptic believes, I don't know, I didn't find the leg bones, but until more evidence is found that supports either side, we have to accept Spinosaurus for what we do have and know about him, and what we have for him is an interesting and amazing creature. Can't everyone, whether we accept the new look or not, agree to at least that?

Well said. Surely the current reconstruction is far more interesting than 'just another large theropod'?
π: 0 β©: 1
Agreed. I makes an already interesting creature even more interesting.
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah it isn't easy being Spinosaurus...from having its holotype blow up to the quadrupedal carnosaur-headed thing to the JP monster to the fishing Β theropod with a huge hump to this..sheesh...
π: 0 β©: 2
And haters and fanboys everywhere....jeez.

Spinosaurus, Deinocheirus and Iguanodon all go to the same therapy group.

National Geographic ruined Spinosaurus with its four-legged restoration
Man, JP3's Spinosaurus still better
π: 0 β©: 1
Interesting. Better in what sense?

Because the NGC Spinosaurus more looks like a Dimetrodon, albeit with longer jaw
π: 0 β©: 0
I'm betting next they'll find feather impressions and there would be a huge uproar.....
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah, poor thing.
If this four-legged deal is accurate, I could DEFINITELY see him in a modern version of "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms". Β Don't you think?
π: 0 β©: 0
Lol. Poor Spinosaurus. It's alright, though. We all think you're special!
π: 0 β©: 0
It's ok Spino, I'll love you no matter what you look like

I just want Spinogate to be resolved already.

Blame JP. If Spinosaurus was still a super obscure dinosaur, Β he could change his looks as much as he wanted to... but they HAD to picture him as a Rex - slaying monster.

If it is in water it still can do it (but by-by title of largest and baddest land predator)

Poor spino...
Gets a new look every two days!

You are loved Spiny~ That is why everyone wants to be sure that you are reconstructed and represented as accurately as possible~
