Could Spinosaurus Really Swim?
Spinosaurus probably spent a lot of time in and around water. In 2020, scientists shared a discovery from Morocco: a wide, flat tail shaped a bit like a paddle. It also had very dense, heavy bones – similar to penguins, which helps them dive. But experts still don’t agree on how good a swimmer it actually was. What we do know is that it lived about 100 million years ago in North Africa, which back then had big rivers.
Fun Ideas for Your Swimming Spinosaurus
Draw the waves with a blue crayon, then brush watered-down paint over them – the wax shows through and the water shimmers. Glue cut-out paper fish below the waves. Or bring a toy dino into the bathtub and play Spinosaurus!
