The researchers were able to see signs of watery adaptation not seen in other
dinosaurs: a
small nostril located far back on the head, apparently to limit water intake; relatively long forelimbs; big flat feet suitable for paddling as well as walking on muddy ground; and very dense limb bones, which would have allowed Spinosaurus to submerge itself
rather than float at the surface.
With the exception of an intriguing scene in which an eager crowd places bets on a dogfight between a pit bull and a
smaller MTR, the humans seldom interact directly with these enormous E.T.s. Just imagine how dull «Jurassic Park» would be if the
dinosaurs were seen exclusively in the far distance, as the paleontological safari intended,
rather than endangering the characters in close proximity.
