Spinosarus
Theory (it’s possible): tetzoo.com/…/trope-of-the-buffalo-backed-dinosaur
MonkderZweite, Though that image of Spino looks shrinkwrapped. Must be old.
Rubanski, Chonkosaurus!

I love that spinosaurus is such a contentious topic in paleontology.
SmackemWittadic, 
Yeah we can’t even tell if they walk on two legs or four lmao
lunarul, An article describing the history of the theory and why it’s not really likely: smithsonianmag.com/…/was-spinosaurus-a-bison-back…
fsxylo, Maybe but some modern lizards have spinosaurus like frills so we know it’s possible.
riplin, 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.
Venator, Also the buffalo's spine bones are elongated over it's shoulders, whereas the spinosaurus has elongated spine bones start after its shoulders.
lol3droflxp, 
Interesting idea. Aren’t these huge neck muscles mainly for supporting their huge head while grazing?
bingbong, Wrong, it’s for yeeting lesser mammals
TryingToEscapeTarkov, The Yeetasaurus. Majestic.
RIP_Cheems, 
YEETASAURES
Donjuanme, I love the idea of this, but the size of their chest cavity leaves me wondering if it’s feasible.

Would there be heavy ligament anchor points on the bones? It seems like there would be evidence of a completely different muscle build, maybe simply by the size of the spine bones themselves. I'm no bonologist, though.
And yeah, that chest is gnarly (but I'm no chestologist).
Annoyed_Crabby, Ahh crap it’s Deviljho!
fsxylo, Pickle boi
TheOakTree, Laser pickle strikes again
Rhynoplaz, I fucking love this!
Meptastik, lol same. new favorite dinosaur. can’t wait to harass everyone I know about it 🤗
Rhynoplaz, I’ve always been more of an ankylosaurus guy myself.
