No one actually believes this is a legitimate animal right? You'd actually have to be retarded to think it is, look into how that faggot Nizar "found" the neotype and it all starts to make sense.

their refusal to accept that maybe the specimen whose legs they found is either a chimera or just happened to have short legs as an individual due to a condition or defect is just baffling.
Baryonyx happened to have propational leg and is a close relative why not consider this??

>How the duck doesn't he fall over

Whenever I'm confused or critical of a dinosaur reconstruction I cross-reference it's design with a modern day bird that "does the same thing".
The Spinosaurus is clearly a Cormorant from Hell, and as seen in pic related; they can stand and walk around exactly like that, so I don't see an issue here. The Spinosaurus is a mostly aquatic animal, it's natural for it to look a little fat and stupid on land.

Ostriches are not even comparable to theropods of that size. And they clearly evolved to make use of powerful legs to defend themselves, traverse open plains and escape predators so of course they'd be strong.

Spinos seem more like loons. Loons have their legs so far at the back of their body that they can barely walk.

how much does the sail actually weigh because that might be what's throwing people off, the baby spinos and other long theropods like dilophosaurus seem well balanced enough.

The nazi's could've relocated the fossil remains since the museum director got to move all of his displays, and chose not to relocate Stromer's fossils since Stromer wasn't a fascist.
