4. Spinosaurus
The highest-ranking carnivore on this list, spinosaurs have been having a research renaissance lately. Recently published research on the animal’s tail and bone structure indicates that the meat-eater was a proficient swimmer and that at least some species hunted prey while completely submerged.
Like other dinos on this list, spinosaurus’ sail may have been used for display or for thermoregulation. What is clear is that the look is fantastic; as glad as I am that these things are no longer around, they definitely deserve their place near the final podium.
