Yeah, this show can be poetic sometimes. From the Early Cretaceous, this 28-foot spinosaurid theropod has had some high profile appearances in popular culture that have been quite controversial in the paleo community, such as in a famous blockbuster series where it had a few extra scutes and in an animated movie where it was Godzilla-sized and feared by <em>T. rex</em>. Guess which one of those the paleo nerds had more problems with? The former, obviously. Duh. </p><p><br></p><p>Want to further support the show?
