Highly speculative Spinosaurus paleoart! There's a lot going on here, I tried to take into account its ecological niche of being a river walking fish eater. Sort of stork or heron-like. I don't see much of a need to blend in being such a massive and niche animal. So I based the coloration on some semi aquatic birds. I increased the size of the head crest by a lot because I ADORE the idea of large theropods with bird-like crests and combs. Honestly I think it could have been even more extravagant for sexual selection, but who knows. I also covered parts of the "beak" with a hard covering that extends up the face and onto the crest. And added lips because I feel like that just makes sense with how the skull looks. But I'm not a paleontologist so!! Who knows!! Big duck!

Spinosaurus mother taking the kids out for an afternoon swim. Id like to imagine that Spinosaurids carried their hatchling around like crocodiles and alligators as they swim.
