The video explores the Spinosaurus, a dinosaur from North Africa, known for its sail-like spines. It was the longest meat-eating dinosaur, measuring 15 meters, and could hunt both on land and in water. Its crocodile-like skull, paddle-like tail, and possibly webbed feet suggest it was an adept swimmer. Scientists propose various functions for its sail, including thermoregulation, energy storage, and display for mating or intimidation.
