Description
A double Spinosaurus skeletal, in swimming and walking position, based on Marco Auditore skeletal, Miyess Mitri (miyess.deviantart.com ) skull and cervical and the original skeletal in the paper Ibrahim et al (2014)The Specimen is the Neotype, so the recostruction is based on the proportion of the table S2,and it s not the claimed 15 meters specimen.
thanks to the original skeletals authors and to Scott Hartman (shartman.deviantart.com ) for his tips.

Ibrahim and his colleagues discovered a spinosaurus tail, did you make the new skeletal?

Is this reconstruction made using all the proportions given by Ibrahim or with changes (not counting posture)?

It is recostruction after the table S2 of the Ibrahim paper, so the proportions are the same

So you think that Spinosaurus could still walk as a biped with those proportions?

Without adaptations for quadrupedal locomotion the most possible explanation is a bipedal stance.
Almost for sure Spinosaurus was not fast and elegant on land (it was built for acquatic enviroment) but with such a long trunk and tail short limbs are better than long one for balance.
Contra the recostruction of Ibrahim et al I make a S curvature on neck wich move the baricentrum back.
