Millions of years ago, dinosaurs ruled the Earth. That much we all know. But underwater it was a totally different world. Marine reptiles like plesiosaurs ruled beneath the waves – to such an extent that no aquatic dinosaur has ever been discovered. But that could all be about to change. Palaeontologist Nizar Ibrahim is building a remarkable case that could upend more than a century of conventional scientific wisdom. Spinosaurus was one truly strange dinosaur, the largest predator around and with a huge sail on its back. Until now, it was thought to have lived exclusively on land. But Nizar thinks he’s found convincing fossil evidence that Spinosaurus spent a huge amount of time in the water, which would make it the first ever aquatic dinosaur.
