Recently there has been a study on Spinosaurus legs that shows that he couldn’t support the weight he has on such short legs and that legs must have been 4 times bigger in order for him to function properly. So the small legs were probably from totally different species mixed with Spino skeleton or a juvenile.

Finally he is back to normal.

    Is it just me or does Baryonyx kinda look like Spinosaurus but without the Spine

    I sure hope he had normal sized legs. The JP3 spino was a godless killing machine. The current model with tiny legs looks terrible at hunting both in and out of water.

    Couldn’t it have used its arms to support its weight? Spinos arm bones havent been discovered yet, not fully.

      They thought about it in 2014 and no, he was completely bipedal on land.

          No, the tail is recent, short legs are a thing since about 2014 and it didn’t make any sense to me either, now I know why.

            Its such a weird mishmash thing, like a prehistoric platypus. How does it even function
