Spinosaurus was a large, bipedal, meat-eating dinosaur that looked a bit like a bull. It had two, knobby eyebrow-horns (hence its name), a small skull, extremely tiny arms (even smaller than those of T- rex), and a long, thin tail. It may have had partial binocular vision (unlike most other dinosaurs) since the eyes were set facing slightly forwards.
