Spinosaurus

Spinosaurus was the world's greatest mystery. For years, the skeleton has not been completely uncovered, scientists trying to piece together what it actually was. Spinosaurus is a dinosaur with huge claws, a long snout and a sail on its back. Spinosaurus was the longest and largest land carnivore ever, they could reach 55-65 feet in length ad at least 9 tonnes in weight in 20 years. Based on some research data, Spinosaurus was believed to be even bigger. As the Spinosaurus which shown in the beginning of the episode, it's head being shown even slightly bigger than the 30 foot (as described in the episode) Rugops. In this episode, It is seen killing a Rugops after it killed a baby Paralititan. It then chases a Rugops and kills it. It is also seen walking towards Sarcosuchus and slashes the crocodile apart. Then, we see it attack a teenage Paralititan before being smacked in the face. It defeats a Carcharodontosaurus by smacking it in the face, but at the end was killed and eaten by a pack of Rugops when he wanted to steal a dead Paralititan.
