' flesh crocodile ' ) is an extinct genus of crocodyliform and distant relative of living crocodilians that lived during the Early Cretaceous , from the late Hauterivian to the early Albian , 130 to 112 million years ago of what is now Africa and South America .
Spinosaurus is the longest known terrestrial carnivore; other large carnivores comparable to Spinosaurus include theropods such as Tyrannosaurus, Giganotosaurus and the coeval Carcharodontosaurus. The most recent study suggests that previous body size estimates are overestimated, and that S. aegyptiacus reached 14 m (46 ft) in length and 7.4 t ...

Suchomimus itself was more adapted to a life hunting in shallow water due to its hollow bones, while Baryonyx and Spinosaurus were capable of fully submerging underwater and diving after prey. Courtesy of denser bones, the latter two spinosaurids could hunt underwater for prey and occupy a more derived lifestyle than Suchomimus could.
A pair of "Sailback Sharpteeth" (Spinosaurus) appeared in the episode "The Hermit of Black Rock". A pack of big-mouthed Bellydraggers (Sarcosuchus) appeared in the episode "The Amazing Threehorn Girl". A mother Fast Biter (Deinonychus) appeared in the episode "The Great Egg Adventure". She and Screech are a lot alike, the only difference is ...
Juvenile spinosaurid fossils are somewhat rare. However, an ungual phalanx measuring 21 mm (0.83 in) belonging to a very young Spinosaurus indicates that Spinosaurus, and probably by extent other spinosaurids, may have developed their semiaquatic adaptations at birth or at a very young age and maintained the adaptations throughout their lives ...

The episode then cuts to the habitat of Spinosaurus during the dry season, where a drought is taking place. Spinosaurus competes for the remaining water and fish with a Sarcosuchus, which unlike dinosaurs can hibernate during droughts. When Sarcosuchus refuses to be intimidated, Spinosaurus is forced to hunt on land.
