DINO-A-DAY #19: Spinosaurus

Welcome to Dino-a-Day, where we'll be highlighting one prehistoric beast per day until the release of our graphic novel Evolution: The Story of Life on Earth on January 4, 2011.

Each of the ninety-six creatures we'll be featuring on this blog are taken from a huge 2-page spread in the middle of Evolution. So while you can see each individual creature here, you'll need to grab the book to see them all together!



NAME: Spinosaurus
PRONUNCIATION: SPY-nuh-SAWR-us
ORDER: Saurischia
EXISTED DURING: Late Cretaceous
DISCOVERED: Egypt, 1915
FUN FACT: Spinosaurus is thought to have lived on both land and water, like a modern crocodile. The similiarity of Spinosaurus’ jaw to that of a crocodile suggests that it primarily ate fish.
