Description
I promised my next paleoart piece would feature Guanlong wuccai but I just could not stop myself
from contributing to the whole Spinosaurus case that has been the paleo-community hot topic
for a while now.

Since I try to remain neutral in terms of opinion towards Ibrahim's paper and the different bits of criticism towards it,
I decided, as usual, to show mutliple versions of our beloved gigantic fish-eater.

But this time, I wanted to do it a bit differently so I decided to show you a sort of reconstruction chimera,
with all the different parts highlighted by their color.

I want to thank Andrea Cau and Hyrotrioskjan hyrotrioskjan.deviantart.com/ for inspiring me this silly diagram.

EDIT: 22.09.14: Yoult pointed out an error in the way I reconstructed Andrea Cau's neck pose. I did my best to correct it with Photoshop.

EDIT 2: 22.09.14: Nizar and Maganucco, colleagues of Ibrahim and contributors of the paper, responded to the skepticism on the hindlimbs measures and so I decided to modifiy my diagram again, to be more respectful
of the scientists efforts.

EDIT 3: 30.09.22: Finally updated the tail and sail after years of procrastination!
