A gigantic, terrifying beast that inhabits swamps, Spinosaurus is the titan of the spinosaurids family. This ferocious carnivore is a ruthless hunter, able to take down large beasts with little effort thanks to its powerful jaws and its claws.
Thought its a spinosaurid, spinosaurus does not rensembles any species of crocodile. It doesn't need to: no crocodile would ever challenge a spinosaurus, for the creature is perfectly designed to battle its relatives: should a fight occur, the dinosaur is fast enought to avoid the croc's hits and crunch it in half once close enought.
Spinosaurus loves to bath in its swampy territory, and its not uncommon to see one taking a nap in the mud or in low waters. Usually spinosaurus stalks its victim from water, but its perfectly able to hunt on land and pursuit even fast animals. Once it got close to its victim, Spinosaurus holds it with its front paws and rips it to pieces with its claws and teeths. Even the dinosaur's sail is a weapon: as sharpened as a blade and strong enought to cut a boat in two.
Spinosaurs is a dangerous, highly territorial beast, and many boats have been cutted in half and had theyr crew eaten for passing too close to its territory.
