Spinosaurus was a genus of large theropod dinosaur which lived during the Cretaceous period.
At a length of 17 metres and a weight of 11 tonnes, it was the largest terrestrial predator of all time. However, despite its monstrous size, it was primarily a semi-aquatic piscivore, opting for catching giant fish than hunting large game.

A Spinosaurus spooks a herd of Ouranosaurus which mistake it for a threat. The Spinosaurus, fortunately, is not interested in the dinosaurs as they are not its usual prey.
The Spinosaurus arrived at a river and scared off some crocodiles. The reason why the Spinosaurus came to the river was to feed on sawfish called Onchopristis. The Spinosaurus went into the river and waited for the Onchopristis to come close. It was able to snatch one out of the water and kill it on the river bank where it fed on the fleshier parts of the carcass. This was wasteful, letting a smaller Rugops to scavenge on the remains. It returned to river and killed another Onchopristis and ate that one too. Later, it swam down the river.
During a drought, a Spinosaurus confronted a small crocodile but was then repelled by a Sarcosuchus which was disturbed during its hibernation. It later attacked a feeding flock of the pterosaur Alanqa, killing one in the process. It then moved on due to its hunger.
