Spinosaurus

The Spinosaurus lived in the Cretaceous period around 122 million years ago. Two species of the dinosaur have been discovered so far, Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus (Egyptian Spine Lizard) and Spinosaurus Maroccanus (Moroccan Spine Lizard). They were much larger than the Tyrannosaurus.

What is stronger giganosaurus or spinosaur?

It is impossible to say for certain which was stronger because the only remains we have of either of these creatures are fossil bones, and even a nearly complete Spinosaurus skeleton has never even been found.

Giganotosaurus was 40 to 43 feet long and weighed between 6.5 and 13.8 tons, not to mention it had the largest skull of any known theropod. They were adapted to hunt large dinosaurs, possibly even sauropods much larger than themselves.

One of the relatives of Giganotosaurus lived in packs, and if Giganotosaurus did, too, it would have a huge advantage in a fight against Spinosaurus.

Spinosaurus, on the other hand, was 49 feet long but probably weighed between 4.4 and 9.9 tons, but possibly as much as 18 tons, according to various weight estimates. Even if it were larger, though, it was almost definitely weaker than Giganotosaurus. Spinosaurus was adapted for hunting freshwater fish, and its jaws and teeth weren't powerful enough to kill dinosaurs as big or larger than itself.

Thus, Giganotosaurus was almost definitely stronger than Spinosaurus.

Although both Giganotosaurus and Spinosaurus were around 97 million years ago, they never would have encountered each other, because the former lived in South America and the latter in Africa. The two continents were already separated by the Atlantic Ocean by the time these two dinosaurs existed.

Is a spinosaurus sauischian?

A saurischian is a "lizard hipped" dinosaur, and all theropods and sauropods are saurischians. Spinosaurus was a theropod, and was thus a saurischian.

Who would win in a fight spinosaurus or rex?

If we went back in time, we actually couldn't tell because Spinosaurus lived before the t-rex. But, if they did, it would be a tough battle. Spinosaurus had a use for its hands and was much bigger and longer than our rex. Our 'king" had small arms but was very deadly. Spinosaurus weighed more than him, so it might have been harder to take him down. I'm not too sure who would win, but in my opinion, it would be Spinosaurus. -dino-b, the dinosaur loving expert The Spinosaurus is probably a little bit faster than the Tyrannosaurus, and is longer and slightly larger (not counting the sail). One bite to the Spino's neck from the Rex would easily kill the thing. The opposite may also be true. However, it is a common fact that the T-Rex's jaws can easily crush a car. Just to add a Second Opinion..There are many reasons why each could be the victor...For Trex It had way more powerful Jaw musles...Plus a harder skull that could be used for ramming....Spinosurs had a longer jaw almost like a crocodile or an alligator...It also had longer arms...Which are belived for catching fish...same with its Jaws...... They also have there downfalls Trex had small arms witch if it fell it would have trouble getting up(Get on the ground and shorten your arm lenght then try to get up) ...Ppl belive that Trex may have had poor vision only because there eye sockets were at the sides and they belive the Jurassic Park fack that they wont see you if u dont move Spinosaurs had weaker jaws almost like a crocidiles....So if you put a giant muzzle on its faws it couldent move its jaws up..... If you saw Jurassic Park 3 which was over exaggerated....Trex should of been the victor in the first place because Trex bit spinos neck(jugular) then fell...That should of been its downfall...But No Spino got up grabbed Trexs neck and head and cracked it....I may sound byised for Trex im not say Spino couldent beat Trex...It would be a fair chance...

Well theres an expansion pack called Zoo Tycoon 2 Extinct Animals (requires Zoo Tycoon 2 to play.) Or you can go to Zoo Tycoon Volcano (google or yahoo search) and I'm pretty sure they'll have dinosaur downloads.

How do you get rid of the runaway spinosaurus?

To deal with a runaway Spinosaurus, first ensure the area is secure to prevent it from causing harm. Use tranquilizers or sedatives specifically designed for large reptiles, if available, to safely subdue it. Additionally, employing a team of trained wildlife experts can help in safely capturing and relocating the creature. Always prioritize safety for both the Spinosaurus and the surrounding environment.

What does Wuerhosaurus mean?

Wuerhosaurus is a genus of extinct reptiles known as a genus of the family Plesiosauridae, which lived during the Late Jurassic period. Its name roughly translates to "Wuerho lizard," derived from the location where its fossils were discovered, specifically in the Wuerho region of China. Wuerhosaurus is characterized by its long neck and aquatic adaptations, typical of plesiosaurs, which were marine reptiles that thrived in prehistoric oceans.

Has a Spinosaurus skull ever been found?

No complete Spinosaurus

skull has been found.

The first specimen found (the holoytpe,

BSP 1912 VIII 19) had a fragment from the maxilla and the front half of the lower jaw (the Dentary).

These were destroyed in the second World War.

Since then bits and pieces

of skull have been referred

to Spinosaurus

such as MNHN SAM 124 and MSNM V4047.

MSNM V4047 is a portion of skull almost a meter long containing the Premaxilla

Maxillia

and Nasal.

The total skull length has been estimated be around 1.75m in length.

What animal group did the spinosaurus belong to?

Spinosaurus was a genus in the family Spinosauridae. Spinosauridae belonged to the clades, in order from smallest to largest, Megalosauria, Orionides, Tetanurae, Averostra, and Neotheropoda. Neotheropoda was the clade that included most species belonging to the Theropoda clade, which in turn belonged to the Eusaurischia clade of the order Saurischia, also known as the lizard hipped dinosaurs. Saurischia belonged to the Dinosauria superorder, and Dinosauria belonged to the Archosauria clade of the Crurotarsi clade. In turn, Crurotarsi belonged to the class Reptilia. Reptiles belong to the subphylum Chordata, phylum vertebrata, and finally the kingdom Animalia.

What Inviorment Did the Spinosaurus live in?

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus lived in coastal mangrove swamps, eating fish.

How old are Spinosaurus?

Spinosaurus date to the lower Albian and through the Cenomanian stage of the Early Cretaceous. That time was between 106 and 93.5 million years ago. Spinosaurus were one of the largest theropods ever, even bigger than Tyrannosaurus rex.

How spinosaurus became extinct?

A spinosaurus died out because all the food it normally ate died out and the rivers dried out.

How does a spinosaurus defend?

Because Spinosaurus was 49 feet long and weighed at least 4.4 to 10 tons, the size of an adult was its first line of defense. As for young Spinosaurus, their best defense probably would have been to flee. If an adult were attacked, it would have used its teeth and jaws and possibly its arms to fight back.

What weighed more a fully grown spinosaurus or deinonychus?

Spinosaurus is not known from complete remains, so its extremely hard to determine its weight. Estimates range from 4.4 to 9.9 or even 18 tons. Deinonychus weighed only 160 pounds, the same as a healthy 6 foot man. Spinosaurus weighed tens or hundreds of times as much as Deinonychus.

When did spinosaurus live?

Spinosaurus fossils have been found in Morocco and Egypt, and they date to between 112 and 97 million years ago. This was during the Albian and Cenemonian stages of the Cretaceous period, which was the third and final period of the Mesozoic era.

Does the spinosaurus live in isla scenstsic or Egypt?

I'm not aware of any Isla Scenstsic. Spinosaurus fossils are known from Egypt and Morocco. Thus, its range was the coastal plain of North Africa between 112 and 97 million years ago.

Was a spinosaurus fast?

I dont think there was an estimated speed but i think its been said that it could run fast

What did the spinosaurus change into today?

Spinosaurus, a large theropod, didn't evolve into any new species, and they have no living descendants. Their closest living relatives are the birds, which evolved from small, feathered theropod dinosaurs.

What is the spinosaurus predator?

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus is the largest known land predator. It was a member of the theropod dinosaur family.

It lived in what is now the Sahara desert 100 million years ago.

Being so large Spinosaurus wouldn't have had any natural predators. On occasion if Spinosaurus was weak and couldn't find any food it could be attacked by a large pack of Rugops which could bring it down.

The sail on Spinosaurus' back was its vulnerability. If a Rugops pack managed to make Spinosaurus to fall over and land on its back it would snap its vertebrate and therefor its spinal cord.

Hope that this is satisfactory.

Did a spinosaurus lay eggs or were they live birth bearers?

Pretty much all dinosaurs lay eggs, so Spinosaurus likely did too.

Can a cougar kill a Spinosaurus?

A cougar, also known as a puma, can never kill spinosaurus. A cat less than 2 metres long could never kill an 18 meter long dinosaur which is the biggest carnivorous dinosaur.

Does spinosaurus have ears?

Like lizards, crocodiles, and other reptiles, Spinosaurus didn't have external ears. However, they did have internal ears that detected sounds, and, like other dinosaurs, were definitely not deaf.

Facts about what spinosaurus ate their life span and when exinct?

Spinosaurus were mostly fish eaters, although they would occasionally scavenge on large dinosaurs or hunt small dinosaurs. Their lifespan is unknown, but paleontologists believe that most large theropods, or meat eating dinosaurs, only lived around 30 years. Their fossils have been found dating between 112 and 97 million years old, so they probably died out around 97 million years ago.
