This is the first time I've gotten involved in a dino discussion, but Spinosaurus reminds me of a gharial, in that it has a long snout designed to catch fish.. as in it has a long, delicate snout that is very poorly suited for fighthing.
Though it's jaws look weak they were actually strong. Spinosaurus had a bite force of 3 tons.
3 tons bite force? : :ermm:
Where are any sources about it ? I'm not against that spino would have quite powerful bite force, but its snout is very similar to false gharial's.

I don't have the source. But the first time I heard about it. It was from genao87. Ask him. He might have the source since he knows lots about Spinosaurus.

Shark tooth lizard has the tools to take on the big game of its time. Like Paralititan.
