Spinosaurus africanus (SciiFii)

The African tiamat (Spinosaurus africanus) is a species of large spinosaurid theropod dinosaur that originally lived in what now is North Africa, during the upper Albian to upper Turonian stages of the Cretaceous period, about 112 to 93.5 million years ago, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and was planned to be included in Cretaceous Park, but during the shipment from Africa, some criminals, possibly terrorists, released these Spinosaurus species from their containment and tried to capture them for use of war, but (thankfully) that plan failed as the Spinosaurus africanus had easily escaped from the terrorists, despite their huge size, ever since they have established breeding populations throughout the wetlands and rainforests of Africa. Spinosaurus africanus is among the largest of all known carnivorous dinosaurs, nearly as large as or, in some cases, even larger than TyrannosaurusGiganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. Spinosaurus africanus can reach lengths of 15–16 metres (49–52 feet) and can weigh around 6.4–7.5 tonnes (7.1–8.3 short tons), despite its body design and size, it is able to stand and walk on its back legs, making it possibly more accurate than the first Spinosaurus species that were created. The skull of Spinosaurus africanus is long and narrow, similar to that of a native modern crocodilian. Despite its gigantic size, Spinosaurus does not hunt living land animals, instead it is known feed on fish, but can sometimes feed on carrion to supplement its diet; it lives both on land and in water as a native modern crocodilian does. The distinctive spines of Spinosaurus, which are long extensions of the vertebrae, growing to at least 1.65 meters (5.4 ft) long and have skin connecting them, forming a sail-like structure. The sail-like structure on Spinosaurus africanus has multiple functions, including thermoregulation and display.
