Did You Know – Spinosaurus #Shorts

by



Did you know that the Spinosaurus In ‘Jurassic Park III’ Was The Largest Animatronic Ever Built? It weighed 12 tons and was operated by hydraulics, which allowed it to operate while completely submerged in water. The animatronic Spinosaurus had a 1,000-horsepower motor and could turn its head at twice the force of gravity, with the tip of its nose moving at a speed of more than 100 miles per hour.

  4. I have always loved this movie regardless of what people have said about the movie❤
    It's definitely the weakest of the original trilogy but it's certainly better than fallen kingdom and dominion imo.

  10. Here is a comparison of the most complete and sure estimates of five theropod dinosaurs and an unsure estimate of a larger Spinosaurus (S. cf. "aegypticus") and an unsure estimate of a new Spinosaurus species (S. indet.):

    1 tonne = 1000 kilograms

    "Big" means mass

    Height is measured at the hip

    ​Tyrannosaurus rex (FHMN PR 2081 – "Sue")

    Length – 12.39 meters
    Height (hip) – 3.8 meters
    Total height – 4.32 metrs
    Weight – 10 tonnes

    (RSNM P2523.8 – "Scotty" is estimated between 10,400 to 11,000 kg. Tyrannosaurus' build is the only theropod type that can support that much weight.)

    Giganotosaurus carolinii (Mucpv-Ch1- holotype)

    Length- 12.57 meters
    Height (hip) – 3.5 meters
    Total height – 3.76 meters
    Weight – 7.8 tonnes

    (Paratype is estimated at 9.6 tonnes but the specimen is known from an incomplete dentary. A new estimate says 10.4 tonnes but is largly unreliable due to it being from an incomplete dentary.)

    Mapusaurus roseae (MCF-PVPH 108)

    Length – 12.23 meters
    Height (hip) – 3.46
    Total height – 3.73 meters
    Weight – 7.4 tonnes

    Spinosaurus aegyptiacus (IPHG 1912 VIII IK – holotype)

    Length – 9.43 meters
    Height (hip) – 1.85 meters
    Total height – 2.74 meters
    Weight – 3.7 tonnes

    Spinosaurinae indet. (MSNM v4047)

    Length – 14.43 meters
    Height (hip) – 2.35 meters
    Total height – 3.82 meters
    Weight – 7.3 tonnes

    Spinosaurus cf. "aegypticus" (NHMUK R 16421)

    Length – 13.1 meters
    Height (hip) – 2.3 meters
    Total height – 3.76 meters
    Weight – 6.81 tonnes

    Carcharodontosaurus saharicus (UCRC PV 12)

    Length – 12.08 meters
    Height (hip) – 3.4 meters
    Total height – 3.63 meters
    Weight – 7 tonnes

    Spinosaurus aegyptiacus ≠ Spinosaurinae indet.

    Tyrannosaurus rex is the biggest theropod and by extension the biggest fully terrestrial carnivore ever to walk the Earth.

    Tyrannosaurus rex was also the smartest out of all large theropods, as smart as a baboon, or even a chimpanzee. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sciencefocus.com/nature/inside-the-mind-of-a-dinosaur-2/amp/

    While having impeccable eyesight better than a hawk and incredible smell, Tyrannosaurus had the strongest bite of any fully terrestrial animal ever, 6 tonnes. The bulk and amount of muscle of T. rex gives it strength and the large ilia gives Tyrannosaurus agility over C. saharicus, S. aegyptiacus, S. cf. "aegypticus", S. indet, M. rosae and G. carolinii.

    T. rex beats S. aegyptiacus, S. cf. "aegypticus" and S. indet. in water due to them not swimming better than any other theropod.

    T. rex wins this one no questions asked.
