The behavior of Spinosaurus, a dinosaur that lived in the mid-Cretaceous period (approximately between 112 and 93 million years ago), has baffled scientists since its discovery in Egypt in the 1910s. of aquatic reptiles and its enormous size have meant that for decades it was considered a fearsome amphibian predator that actively pursued its prey. However, a recent and detailed study of that same anatomy seems to suggest a very different feeding pattern, more similar to that of fishing birds such as herons or storks.
