    Awesome!

    I still don't understand why the idea of it looking a lot like Baryonyx is controversial.

    Do local laws prevent you from feeding the dinosaurs? Like geese that are hand fed bread crumbs, I bet that could get of hand pretty quickly.

    Paul V. there are three blog posts at http://www.skeletaldrawing.com/ that talk about it. Basically, it seems the back legs are too small and there's some dispute about spinosaurus arms being strong enough to support it as a quadrapedal walker.

    But I thought this new reconstruction looked really cool from a D&D point of view. Like some kind of river dragon.
