Interesting Facts
Spinosaurus, meaning "spined reptile," was a semi-aquatic theropod believed to be larger than even Tyrannosaurus rex. Its long, narrow teeth were adapted for catching fish, making it one of the few known dinosaurs with a primarily piscivorous diet. Fossils of Spinosaurus are primarily found in North Africa, with Morocco being a key locality for remarkable specimens like this one.
