Spinosaurus

So it's beginning to look like this animal never really existed, at least in this form. Apparently the original fossil material belongs to 3 different animals (gee I said this in like 2001 and was totally ignored.) I never agreed with the sail, it virtually identical to the sail backed hadrosaur Ouranosaurus. Some of the neck bones look similar to Acrocanthosaurs (and a juvenile one to boot!) and then another larger adult theropod finishes off what they had (it was all destroyed in WWII.) So you have 2 meat eaters and a plant eater making up this bad boy.

It was cool while it lasted.

Clicking on the image enbiggen it.
