The most popular theory in the Pacific Northwest is the theory it was mainly a piscivore. Some theorize Spinosaurus was mainly a piscivore, meaning it mainly ate fish, but others theorize that Spinosaurus was the Cretaceous equivalent of a grizzly bear, making it an opportunist hunter who was more inclined to fish but would scavenge off land animals and hunt small to medium-sized prey. Based on its crocodilian jaws, long claws, and relatives, it is very likely it ate fish for at least part of its diet.
The diet of Spinosaurus is unknown, because the contents of the stomach have never been unearthed before. The inside claws (the topmost claw) was the longest and it probably used those claws to spear its prey and/or to fight, intimidate rivals, or attract mates. The Spinosaurus had unusually long arms for a theropod, and even more unusually large claws.
The neural spines probably reached between five point four and seven feet long, but a full one has never been recovered. It reached between forty-nine and sixty feet long, and its skull alone reached between five point seven and seven feet long. Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, meaning " Egyptian spined lizard" was the largest terrestrial theropod carnivore of all time.
