Marvel at the size and strength of Spinosaurus
Alert
Catch Spinosaurus as it prowls overhead at the Field Museum. This fish-eating dinosaur lived during the Cretaceous Period, about 95 million years ago. Spinosaurus swam in rivers thanks to its crocodile-shaped body and paddle-like tail.
Discover how this water-loving dinosaur reigned throughout North Africa and learn how modern animals help scientists to understand life from long ago. Uncover how this semi-aquatic predator hunted and swam through the water.
