The Tail of Spinosaurus - A 2020 Revelation

Spinosaurus is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating and bizarre non-avian dinosaurs, and a new paper published by paleontologist Nizar Ibrahim and colleagues has revealed that Spinosaurus was even more aquatic than we had previously thought, even with features such as the high nostril positioning, short legs, and dense bones, possessing a fin-like tail which would have allowed Spinosaurus to propel itself through the water. Debate over the tail was of course not far behind, and this video will discuss some of the peculiar features of the tail that have yet to be thoroughly solved, and will likely be discussed for quite some time. I hope you enjoy!
