    First Spinosaurus becomes a shortarse and now Tyrannosaurus gets 50% extra free.
    The T-rex fanboys must be delighted...

    Don´t forget though that Spinosaurus also got stockier and a more powerful bite than previously thought :D

    It'd be interesting to see the same techniques used on T. rex applied to the other giant theropods - see how massive they got.

    I seriously doubt that. Those huge claws were obviously important weapons- had it been quadrupedal, keeping them sharp would have been nearly impossible.

    I'm thinking more bear claw than cat. And considering that bears fish too, it isn't that big a stretch to imagine the same scenario for spino only on a sliiiightly larger scale:D

    Dunno, a bear's claws look blunter than those a spinosaur... then again I have no idea if the outer sheath has been preserved on spinosaur claws...
