Best Answer

Spinosaurus's long, narrow snout, filled with conical, interlocking teeth, as well as evidence of possible pressure sensors for detecting fish they couldn't see in the water, all hint at fishing being their specialty. Additionally, partially digested fish scales were found in the stomach area of a Spinosaurus specimen, and oxygen isotopes suggest that they had a semiaquatic lifestyle. Thus, we can safely say that Spinosaurus was mostly piscivorous, or fish eating, but, like other large predators, they probably also scavenged opportunistically and hunted small land animals.

There is no evidence of cannibalism in Spinosaurus. However, many reptiles are cannibalistic on occasion, and there is a chance that Spinosaurus was, too. If it were, however, the only cases of cannibalism would be when large Spinosaurus killed and ate the young offspring of other Spinosaurus.


What are the survivor skills of the Spinosaurus?

well i think spinosaurus claws were main weapon its survivor skill, also we look in jaws of spinosaurus, seeing good hold muscles but not strong so spinosaurus jaws was used for grip prey rather than rip or tear off flesh so he used claws to open the hard skin of dinosaurus or fishes,so i think spinosaurus would use claws in combat and jaws for holding its enemies. the answer: its claws. and its diet would mainly fish but if it wont hold that biggest carnivore it could eat smaller carnivores like rugops or baby dinosaurs.

Is a spinosaurus a herbivore?

Spinosaurus was carnivorous, and had a diet based mostly on fish, using its long, crocodile-like jaws to scoop fish out of the waters easily. However, such a large dinosaur could not survive simply on fish, (although there were some that grew up to six feet long at that time) and most likely fed on other dinosaurs. In addition, this dinosaur's spine may have been fragile, and it would have been careful when hunting other carnivores; if it ever did so.In summation, Spinosaurus was not a herbivore.
