        I’ve always been more of an ankylosaurus guy myself.

    I love the idea of this, but the size of their chest cavity leaves me wondering if it’s feasible.

    The spines on a buffalo are a lot thicker and shorter. Any muscle attached to the spines of a spinosaurus would snap them in half.

    Maybe but some modern lizards have spinosaurus like frills so we know it’s possible.

    I love that spinosaurus is such a contentious topic in paleontology.
