Welcome, fellow Spinosaurus enthusiasts! Are you ready for some seriously cool facts about this prehistoric reptile?
Spinosaurus was a plant-eater that lived during the Cretaceous period, around 100 million years ago. Its name means 'spiny lizard' in Greek, due to its distinctive spiny scales.
Spinosaurus was a bit of a mystery for a long time, but its discovery in 1937 by paleontologist Ernst Stromer made it an instant sensation. And for good reason: it was a massive creature, with some specimens reaching up to 12 meters in length!
