Spinosaurs swimming news

The carnivorous dinosaurs Spinosaurus and Baryonyx may have hunted prey underwater, a lifestyle very different from those of any other dinosaur known so far. Due to the large analysis of extinct creatures, it shows that spinosaurus and baryonyx could of spent time in the water while another spinosaur called Suchomimus may have waded on the shoreline.

Dr Matteo Fabbri, the study's leading author, says 'There are certain laws that are applicable to any organism on this planet and one of them regards density and the capability of submerging into water"

According to the news, its rather rare for this to happen as no other types of dinosaurs have evolved for these adaptation but some like Ceratosaurus may of ate fish. However, the idea that dinosaurs went one step further and took the plunge into the water is controversial especially the case in 2014 with the idea that it had short legs and they could not sink like crocodiles. The idea was only expanded when in 2021 when they discovered its newt-like tail. Yet still spinosaurs weren't capable to swim in the sea but instead riverbanks.

Dr David Hone, a carnivorous dinosaur expert, who I have met, at Queen Mary University of London who has previously raised issues with the idea that Spinosaurus was a highly specialised aquatic predator but now he thinks it might be more plausible.
