Spinosaurus Hunting Debate Intensifies with New Research

Recent studies suggest the giant dinosaur was a shoreline predator, not an underwater hunter.

  • New studies challenge the notion that Spinosaurus, a giant sail-backed dinosaur, was an underwater predator.
  • Researchers argue Spinosaurus was a semiaquatic predator that ambushed prey from shorelines, similar to a heron.
  • Critics of the underwater hunting theory point out flaws in previous studies, including inappropriate data sets and statistical methods.
  • The debate over Spinosaurus' hunting behavior highlights the complexity of interpreting fossil evidence.
  • Despite differing views, Spinosaurus remains one of the most fascinating and unique dinosaurs due to its size and adaptations.
