Part 5/8:
Moving on to the Spinosaurus, which was infamously depicted in Jurassic Park III, recent discoveries reveal that this dinosaur was both gigantic and semi-aquatic, unlike the terrestrial predator portrayed in the film. The changes in anatomy paint a picture of a uniquely adapted creature that likely spent significant time in the water.
As discussions arise around whether a Spinosaurus could defeat a T-Rex, paleontologist Dr. Dave Hone’s insights highlight that the T-Rex’s armored physiology and powerful bite would give it the upper hand. Nevertheless, the recreation chose to showcase the Spinosaurus in its natural aquatic habitat, illustrating this fascinating dinosaur's significance within its evolutionary context.
