Spinosaurus
"Spine Lizard"
Spinosaurus was a theropod dinosaur and, measuring up to 14 meters (46ft) in length, it was one of the largest land carnivores to ever walk the Earth, rivalling even the mighty T. rex. It had a large sail on its back and a long snout with straight, conical teeth which were well adapted to catching fish.
It lived around 94 - 100 million years ago in what is now modern day North Africa, which at that time was dominated by mangrove forests and vast river systems leading out to the Tethys Sea (an ancient sea which existed between 250 and 50 million years ago, before the evolution of the indian ocean).
