Spinosaurus was a large theropod dinosaur whose fossils are found in modern-day Morocco and Egypt. Spinosaurus spent a lot of time near, and possibly in, the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. From its long and conical teeth, we can tell that it ate mostly fish, and many scientists think it possessed a large sail down its spine that may have attracted potential mates. Spinosaurus was at least semi-aquatic as it had a paddle-shaped tail that might have been used to propel itself like a modern crocodile, but scientists haven’t yet come to an agreement on whether they were good swimmers or if they spent much time in deep water.
