Oxalaia (SciiFii)

The South American tiamat (Oxalaia brazilus) is a species of large spinosaurid theropod dinosaur that originally lived in what now is South America during the Late Cretaceous period and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and was planned to be included in Cretaceous Park, but during the shipment from South America, all nine of the Oxalaia brazilus had escaped from the poorly-designed fencing around their temporary exhibits, and the Oxalaia brazilus had easily escaped from the local people, despite their huge size, ever since they have established breeding populations throughout the wetlands and rainforests of Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru. Oxalaia brazilus is among the largest of all known carnivorous dinosaurs, nearly as large as or, in some cases, even larger than Tyrannosaurus, Giganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. Oxalaia brazilus can grow to be about the size of Spinosaurus, with the lengths of 15–16 metres (49–52 feet) and can weigh around 6.4–7.5 tonnes (7.1–8.3 short tons), despite its body design and size, it is able to stand and walk on its back legs, making it possibly more accurate than the first Spinosaurus species that were created. The skull of Oxalaia brazilus is long and narrow, similar to that of a native modern crocodilian. Despite its gigantic size, Oxalaia does not hunt living land animals, instead it is known feed on fish, but can sometimes feed on carrion to supplement its diet; it lives both on land and in water as a native modern crocodilian does. The distinctive spines of Oxalaia, which are long extensions of the vertebrae, growing to at least 1.65 meters (5.4 ft) long and have skin connecting them, forming a sail-like structure. The sail-like structure on Oxalaia brazilus has multiple functions, including thermoregulation and display.
