Why It Sucks to Be Born as a Spinosaurus

it's the lake Rous somewhere in what will eventually be called North Africa you live in a lush Delta the sun is rising and it is beautiful though you don't really notice that right now because you're running for your life as soon as you and your siblings hatched from your eggs you started to be eaten talk about spawn camping you run as fast as you can but with your entire body only being about a foot long your little feet can only carry you so far and it's caught up to you well sh let's rewind a few

months ago your mom pops you out along with your siblings she stays near your nest to keep away any predators and once you hatch she immediately Scoops you up to carry you to the wetlands and though you almost had a heart attack this is the safest place you can be right now basically everything can eat you big fish can swallow you whole Crocs can bite you in half and even your siblings might see you as a snack but before long you get spit out in what looks like a small pond yeah it's safer than the

rivers but not by much predators are everywhere your best offense is hiding in the horsetails or better yet sticking close to Mom but sooner or later they're going to catch you alone so you need to grow which means eating like your life depends on it because it does you start with the easy stuff frogs bugs and the occasional dead fish but when you check to see how much progress you've made you're going to need something a bit more nutritious standing at the edge of the water you know fish are everywhere but you just don't know

how to catch them you tried hunting like the crocodiles but that doesn't work so you decide you need your own approach you start crafting the perfect method and what is it you might ask well just copying your mom to catch fish she lets them come to her her teeth unlike most therapods are round and conle designed to pluck fish right out of the water she just Waits with her mouth open using her snout to detect the slightest touch and one she does dinner is served it seems easy enough until you try it yourself catching fish

feels more like grabbing a slippery bar of soap clearly this is going to take some practice for the next few months that's your life dodging Crocs studying your mom and honing your fish hunting skills it doesn't come easy but at least you're making some progress because you're now a juvenile Spinosaurus and about 9 ft long life is finally looking up just kidding because you're now on your own the second your mom saw you were starting to figure things out she went to get some milk and that pond you've been calling home that was just a

tutorial level now it's time to move on to the real deal the rivers here the prey are massive basically every other catch could land you on an episode of River Monsters so you decide to give it a try the current here is strong but your paddle-like tail keeps you steady but out of nowhere an adult Spinosaurus comes charging at you apparently you missed the signs you were fishing in his spot you see adult spinosaurs being so large require a ton of food so the best fishing spots are guarded by very Territorial and quite frankly very

rude adults though sadly that's not the only issue these Rivers have to offer in your previous run-ins the biggest Crocs were only about 10 ft long but here the biggest can grow close to 30 ft thankfully most of the time they'll leave you alone well probably and maybe you're being a little paranoid but every shadow in the water fills you with Terror so you decide screw being semi- aquatic you're going on land here you find the remains of a terrasaur you're more of a fish guy yourself but a free meal is a free meal no

way you're passing that up for a moment you start questioning why you'd ever want to go back to the water the land is just way better then you're hit by reality oh that's why this is a carera dinosaurus they're giant theropods that Patrol the Riverside if one of them catches you you're toast literally now you're caught between two worlds one ruled by bloodthirsty Crocs and the other by Giant therapods and there's no use in even trying to hide your sail now much larger feels like a big neon sign on your back still your sail isn't

completely useless it helps regulate your body temperature though not exactly handy in this moment but it's also a tool for communication and intimidation you signal from to back off but he's not listening fortunately the key to your success is adaptability in the water you can out maneuver a therapod and on land you can outrun a Croc with your mix of traits and a little bit of luck you can escape most danger but with all this running around you're starting to feel hungry again it's time to fish this time in an unoccupied spot and though the

catches aren't so great each one feels your body to grow bigger and stronger in a short time you're 20 ft long in tipping the scales at around 2500 lb but don't be too concerned because you can always use the big boned excuse spending so much time in the water has made your bones very dense adding to that massive weight and though you're not fully grown you're already a forest to be reckoned with you're swimming faster biting harder and deadlier than ever it's time to settle some scores first on your list crocodilo forms the biggest are

all still Untouchable but the smaller and medium-sized ones are a different story you spot a group enjoying the sun on the shoreline what once seemed like a nightmare now looks like an all you can eat buffet you move carefully through the mangr trees making sure not to be spotted and when the moment's right you charge the Crocs slow and caught off guard barely make it back to the water before you grab a few in your mouth your first crocodile meal delicious you're feeling good now and I've earned the respect of the other Spinosaurus you're the

new kid on the Block but to match your new style you figure you need a better fishing spot to go with it scouting the area you set your sights in a tired old Spinosaurus his sluggish movements make it clear he can't keep up with the competition anymore you confront him your intimidating size and aggressive display are too much for him to handle with a defeated look he Retreats leaving you Victorious and in possession of the prime fishing spot you've been n here the fish are huge Ana pistus over 20 ft long colant over 15 the

food is almost too much at this point you're unstoppable by about 18 you're nearly fully grown you're weighing about 7 tons and close to 40 ft long but you're looking a little funny ah I know you're wearing the wrong outfit nope NADA no no ah there it is you see Spinosaurus changes more times than a teenager before promite every year scientists make some new discovery and boom a new Spinosaurus comes out so if you want to stay up to date with the trends you're going to look like this for now you're the largest predator in

your environment the water and land are your domain and nothing can stand in your way and while most of the time you can be found standing in the shallow water catching fish you do occasionally go on land mostly to rest but sometimes to grab some free meals even carodon aaur that are nearly as big as you will be scared off by your size aided by the fact that your sale makes you look a lot bigger than you really are you've gotten everything you've ever wanted strength your own territory respect but something is missing love and

perfect timing because it's Mating Season finding a mate isn't easy sometimes you have to fight other spinosaurs but even when you don't matching still isn't guaranteed because your sale has to be attractive but you are eventually able to find a mate you do this by pushing blood through your sale in winning or over in a little bit of time you have your own babies you've accomplished everything you wanted but the years have been hard on you holding back others from taking your fishing spot has aged you fast and just like everything else you can only

stay on top for so long one day just like you had before a young male comes and takes your territory with the loss of your fishing spot you slowly get weaker and weaker as you look out at the sunset you figure this is as good of a spot as any if you like this video you'll probably like that video thank you for watching and please subscribe Jona out
