Photo by paoloverzone / In Ligdid, Morocco, Nizar Ibrahim, a paleontologist and National Geographic explorer, scouts a new site. For natgeo I documented a Spinosaurus find here in the desert. Spinosaurus was one of the largest predatory dinosaurs of all time. It is named after the elongated dorsal spines that supported an enormous “sail” of skin. In contrast to other dinosaurs–which are predominantly terrestrial–a long list of anatomical features indicate that Spinosaurus was adapted to live in freshwater, like crocodiles and hippopotamuses. #spinosaurus Follow paoloverzone for more photos and stories.
