"Unraveling the Spinosaurus Mystery: New Insights into Its Hunting Behavior"

TL;DR Summary
A new study on the Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, also known as the "heron from hell," suggests that the giant dinosaur likely hunted in shallow waters rather than diving deep for its prey. Researchers from the University of Chicago examined the bone density of the dinosaur and concluded that it wouldn't have been well-suited for diving. Instead, they believe the Spinosaurus ambushed fish in waterways while keeping its toes anchored in the mud, shedding light on the long-standing debate about its hunting behavior.
