Safari Ltd Carnegie Scale Model Spinosaurus LARGE AND CARNIVOROUS  Longer than Tyrannosaurus rex, Spinosaurus is the largest predatory dinosaur known to science. It is best known for the tall bony spines on its back and its long, crocodile-like jaws. The first and most complete fossil skeleton of this giant carnivore ever found was discovered in an Egyptian oasis in 1912, and then shipped to a museum in Munich, Germany. Unfortunately, the skeleton was destroyed during a British bombing of Munich during World War II.
