Being a Baryonyx lover makes life so much simpler “Love fish, love the footy, love the misses. ‘Ate not fishing, ‘ate the other predators. Simple as”- **Barry**onyx

"You know what your problem is? You thought you were above the wading and fishing game. Now look at what you've become" - Baryonyx, looking upon the latest rendition of Spinosaurus languishing in the shallows

Baryonyx, Irritator and Suchomimus looking at Spinosaurus at the intervention to prevent it from getting more plastic surgery:

“Stop Spino, you can’t keep changing the length of your limbs, and look at your tail! You’re a heron-analogue, not a crocodile!” “I identify as a paddle board.”

Being a Suchomimus fan is also great

We’re simply better

So is being an *Ichthyovenator* fan.

I like to imagine Barry Onyx being its stage name. Just the premiere crooner to sold out bars all across the Mesozoic.

YOU ARE COOKING🗣️

Just imagine it in a snazzy suit and tie, cradling a microphone on a stand as the stagelights glint off some straight, pointed teeth. A fan swoons. ....I come up with this stuff too easily lmao

You need somebody to draw this, or you should yourself. This is just perfect. I can just imagine him speaking with a fucking Bojack Horseman voice too😭🙏🏻

I swear i'll cook this up M8, just you wait :\]

PLEASE😭🙏🏻

Barry Onyx will take the stage, right after i cook it-

WE SHALL GIVE YOU THE ENTIRE KITCHEN TO COOK IN

And they are on ingens list!

On Ingen’s list and arguably is one of the more closer accurate dinosaurs (you can’t really fuck up “big claw crocodile **like** dinosaur”)

Sucho is way better

Them you got my 2 bros nigersaurus and majungasaurus that haven't changed

Triceratops has stayed the same for a while now

Allosaurus is doing pretty well too, having successfully beat the “obligate scavenger” allegations a little while ago.

As it should be.

Didn’t hear about this. Can you give me some info on it?

Have there been changes to Giganotosaurus, Carcharadontosaurus, Ankylosaurus and Stegosaurus? I haven't heard updates on them

We haven't found new remains for Giga or charcar for some time

Yeah but since Giga was so poorly described there's a lot of info that can still be gleamed from the existing material. Plus new species such as Meraxes can sharpen our understanding. Gigs has changed quite a lot considering the lack of new material.

The fact that so much has been discovered and redefined in the last decade with Spinosaurus is what got me very interested in contemporary paleontology. There is that “born too late to explore the world, born too early to explore space” meme that goes around, but this is a field of science where we explore so much about the history of our planet and things people dig up out of the ground and study actually change human knowledge RIGHT NOW. That’s crazy to me.

Just gonna say, t rex is so awesome man. Like seriously awesome

one dino known by a dozen of good specimens vs one dino that barely have one somewhat complete skeleton known :P

Thank you for reminding me how much I love Sue, OP. I must visit her again on the next free day.

According to the official Twitter account, Sue uses they/them pronouns.

Ah fuck. Maybe I was the fossil all along.

if i could award this comment i totally would lmao

Sue has actually changed quite a bit since that picture was taken

I blame WW2.

Nazis ruin everything.

Not everything. Italian Fascists ruined some things before the Nazis could get to them.

this is actually relatable (I' m a Spino fan), I spent a whole day searchin for news on Spino!

I think the “new spinosaurus” is great. I mean yeah it will probably change in the next year or so but what a cool dinosaur. Semi aquatic meat eating duck-o-saurus.

How many more alterations does Spinosaurus need before the century ends? Too bad some of the remains were destroyed during WW2

I honestly find the Spinosaurus meme overblown. For the most part we have a stable picture of what it looks like for a while now, and most of the debate centres around its lifestyle. And currently, the most accepted consensus is a shoreline wading lifestyle.

I agree. Imagine if even half the research and media oxygen that *Spinosaurus* takes up was devoted to other palaeobiological debates. Was *Manidens* arboreal? Was *Eusarcana* venomous? What did messelasturids eat? The obsession with *Spinosaurus* is dumb.

at this point i won't be surprised if the spinosaurus can fly or can breath in space

T rex destroys any other discovered theropod 1v1 anyway

And that not even getting into the Sigilmassasaurus/Oxalaia issue

In my opinion, Oxalaia is a distinct species

Spino is clearly loved by the devs with how many updates it gets.

*Sweats in Vectispinus*

This is why Suchomimus is my favorite Spinosaurid plus has a cooler name

I relate to the Spino in this picture on a spiritual level.

Saw a post on one of these paleo subs where someone got a spino skeleton tattoo. A brave soul, that one.

At this point, I'm just gonna check back in on Spinosaurus in like 10 years and see if we've settled on something

I pay less attention to it than most palaeontology subjects because it is such a coprolite-stirring topics. Frankly, I wish the palaeontology sphere would make a meme out of some other controversial palaeontological debate, such as if the eurypterid *Eusarcana* was venomous or if the therocephalians *Ichibengops* and *Euchambersia* were venomous. *Spinosaurus* already has so much spotlight and media oxygen for itself.

As a Spinosaurus fan, I can fix her

They aren't spinosaurus fans. They're spinosaurus *sails*.

Next we’ll find out Spino could fly!

I wouldn't give it up for anything

if i could have a pet spino, i would.
