"Reevaluating Spinosaurus: Flaws in Aquatic Pursuit Hunting Theory Uncovered"

A recent study has raised doubts about previous research supporting the idea that Spinosaurus was a fully aquatic pursuit predator. The new study, led by University of Chicago’s Professor Paul Sereno and colleagues, critically assesses the methods of the prior research and identifies significant flaws, particularly in the statistical technique used. The findings emphasize the importance of using consistent and objective criteria when classifying behavior and taking measurement errors and individual variations into account when assessing bone density. The study challenges the notion that Spinosaurus was a deep diver and suggests that the dinosaur may have waded into waterways to ambush fish while keeping its toes anchored in the mud.
