The Most CONTROVERSIAL Dinosaur!!! | Paleontologists rank SPINOSAURUS in JW: Evolution 2!

Well viewer, the time has come. From long lost sailbacked monster to legend of the silver screen to first aquatic dinosaur, Spinosaurus has had one of the most fascinating and tumultuous histories of study and depiction of any dinosaur. And what a wild dinosaur it is! The more we learn about this Egyptian giant, the weirder it gets. Bigger than T. rex, with long jaws, squat legs, and a massive paddle tail, this pharaoh was a sight to behold. Made popular in JP3, this depiction of Spinosaurus is a bit outdated from what we currently know about the animal, but that doesn't mean it's any less iconic. What do these new discoveries mean for our understanding of Spinosaurus? What was this leviathan like in life? Was it indeed swimming or wading? Join the Crew in a journey through the history of paleontology to find out!
