A unicorn-like Spinosaurus found in the Sahara

A new species of Spinosaurus, named S. mirabilis, was discovered in the Sahara by a team led by paleontologist Paul C. Sereno. This dinosaur features a unique scimitar-like crest and specialized jaws for catching fish, shedding light on its lifestyle.

The discovery challenges previous beliefs about Spinosaurus as an aquatic predator. Instead, it suggests that S. mirabilis thrived in inland river systems, acting as a semi-aquatic ambush predator, changing our understanding of dinosaur habitats.
