hunting on land spinosaurus is also forced into direct competition with any large predators living in the same environment and here that can only mean one animal Carcharodontosaurus contests over carcasses are common but outcomes of such fights are far from guaranteed risk of injury for big animals is acute modern Komodo dragons are often killed in fights over carcasses more than three meters longer Spinosaurus has signs and power on its side but Carcharodontosaurus have the morning so back this
time the spinosaurus triumphed but the balance of power between these two deadly killers is a precarious one in 2008 a spinosaurus vertebra was recovered part of the tall neural spine of the bone was broken off it appeared to have been bitten in half it's been suggested that the bite was inflicted by carcharodontosaurus Spinosaurus was the last and the largest of the fish eating dinosaurs but ultimately these specialists were doomed something way beyond their control calls their downfall 94 mil
lion years ago the climate changed global sea levels began to rise the swamps and rivers that Spinosaurus thrived in gradually were lost with their loss Spinosaurus is specialism became a vulnerability and the biggest predator ever known to a walk the earth disappeared

Huge respect to the cameraman the guy had to stand there 65 million years to get us this amazing footage
Don’t mind me just revisiting my childhood
John Hurt did an amazing job narrating this series. May he rest in peace :)
Man, when I was a kid I was a huge fan of dinosaurs I even ate my meals like one and watch these BBC documentaries every night. Miss my childhood
I love Spinosaurus. One of the few big predators who can use their hands as weapons.
3:06 "And the biggest predator ever known to walk the earth.....disappeared" I'm sure all of us remember and love this line
everything was so good back then, i love seeing my favorite dinosaur, the spinosuarus, it was the baddest dino, my childhood was nice, cant believe its been 9 years since this documentary was released
Even after 12 years this is still up there with Prehistoric Planet and Walking With Dinosaurs. What a remarkable series
For the longest time, this Spinosaurus from Planet Dinosaur was the most accurate in terms of lifestyle.... until now.
3:07 when you get extra homework.
It’s so cool seeing how the documentaries evolve with research! At the time this was the most accurate representation of a spino, but now research has evolved and it’s not as accurate anymore! I just find that fascinating
I loved this series so much as a kid and even tho the Spino is severely outdated it still has a place in my heart
The spinosaurus uses the b¡tch slap as it's main weapon
I love how the narrator says charcaradontosaurus
Tuesday night just got so much better when I was watching this as a kid, Imagine being a dinosaur kid, and your favorite dinosaur is getting all the spotlight it deserves
Spinosaurus: Gimmi that Carcharodontosaurus: NO GIMME THAT FOOD 1:07
1:42 "Spino, I thought what we had was SPECIAL "
3:07 when its been 5 hours after you drank 5 hour energy
This fight is better than a lot of Jurassic world fights, which is just *bite neck push push bite neck
My grandpa got this in 2012 documentary and I still enjoyed explain such fantastic origin of these incredible animals.
