Spinosaurus aegyptiacus is one of the biggest theropod dinosaurs, comparable to giants like Tyrannosaurus, Giganotosaurus, and Carcharodontosaurus. The newest paleontology studies on Spinosaurus aegyptiacus show us how big Spinosaurus was, what its ecosystem was like, and how Spinosaurus would have hunted. Spinosaurus was an incredible animal and powerful predator that earned its place as apex predator in Cretaceous Africa. Dinosaur paleontology has taken Spinosaurus to a new level, and famous paleontologists like Nizar Ibrahim and Paul Sereno take a look at Spinosaurus aegypticus and its relationship to megatheropods like Sigilmassasaurus.
