The Weird, Watery Tale of Spinosaurus

The video explores the discovery and study of Spinosaurus, a unique semi-aquatic dinosaur. Initially described by Ernst Stromer in 1915, the Spinosaurus fossils were destroyed during WWII, leaving only descriptions and photos. New discoveries in the late 20th century, including similar species like Baryonyx, led to a better understanding of Spinosaurus as a semi-aquatic predator. Recent findings in Morocco confirmed its unique adaptations for water and land. The video concludes with a discussion on the ecological context of Spinosaurus and encourages viewer engagement.
