How do we know the spinosaurus has been treated right?

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

It's a Spinosaurus.

Do you have ANY IDEA what happens if you don't treat it right?

[–] Morganza@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 15 hours ago

No one ever treats spino right. Everytime someone's doing "research" on it they end up nerfing my guy

Its spines make your ass sore

Have absolutely no expertise here but I love the theory that those were not external spines, but were in fact connection points for fucking enormous neck muscles

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

why did it grow a spine like that without attching anything to it like lotsa muscles? Is it stupid?
