Spinosaurus was the longest of all meat-eating dinosaurs. It may have grown to 50 feet long! With its smooth teeth and long narrow jaws, Spinosaurus was a fishing dinosaur. Thanks to new discoveries, we know Spinosaurus moved on four short legs. Its tail was long and paddle-shaped – good for swimming.
