Irritator - The Petulant Predator
Dinosaur discovery and description can often be a tricky business, and Irritator is no exception to this.
From being artificially "enhanced" with plaster by fossil poachers, as well as evidence of pterosaur predation, I hope you learn something new about this fascinating animal and its group!

I love how when naming these things the paleontologists can spend hours,days,years finding and putting together elaborate names based on deep rooted historical words with underlining means to convey the look and/or how the animal may have acted in life. then there are other paleontologists that are like 'Oh,i stubbed my toe in this thing's skull while digging it up,and it REALLY hurt... so i decided to name it "Stupid-penis-face-a-saurus" ,and that's just what the world is going to call it forever..

OMG!! Salt water and Nile crocodiles are terrifying enough; imagine the effect that the appearance of a few spinosaurs would have on a beach crowded with humans of a summer's day! In my opinion, the most dramatic depiction of spinosaurus was done a few years back by the paleo-artist Todd Marshall.
Thanks for the meticulous work you did to make this video, Henry. I really appreciate science videos created by people like you who take the time to get the details right.

The irritator must be the most irritating dinosaur
I don't think that Spinosaurs, as a fish hunters, lived in water like crocodiles, submerged with only their eyes peering out in search for land prey. I think they behaved more like a mix between a heron and a bear, standing on shallow waters looking into it to catch passing fish.

I wish Henry had made it clear that type specimen was found in Brazil because going by the name of the town alone I was thinking of Portugal or Spain. Considering the related animals Baryonyx walkeri and Spinosaurus aegyptiacus and where they were found, this is logical. It wasn't until Henry mentioned the early confusion of the Irritator fossils with the Azhdarchidae that I realized the location was in Brazil.

2020 spinosaurus says 'hi, like new tail?'. The spino family is now changed forever.
I like to go with the obvious. The sails of the Spinosaurids were SAILS. I speculate that spinos would partake in sailing races each spring, with the winners getting the females. They would sail along the river bank, tacking, turning, and taking the wind of rivals to win. The females would observe from shore, sometimes cheering on a favorite, sometimes feigning indifference. The winner would become the BSOB, or Big Spino On Beach, and the females would flock around presenting their cloaca for breeding. Yep, Spinos, like the Dimetrodons before them, were a pretty sporty set.

@@bramsteenhoek2674 Yes, I just saw and read about that and I can now see Spiney swimming. If they could find some webbed feet they're looking for that would about cap it. However, to me he just looks a little out of place under 40 ft of water as per the animation. But then those sails, what are they for? We know why sailfish have them: for quick braking and rapid turns ... but sailfish can then fold them down until needed as otherwise they can be a serious hindrance to speed and maneuverability. Spiney would have a hard time with those in strong currents. Unless he could fold them down and erect them as needed. Like sailfish. If they could find a hinge mech of some type, ... but those would probably be soft tissue or cartilage with doesn't fossilize well.
Bravo!
One prehistoric fish disliked the video
If the Spinosaurid skull was evolved to allow the creature to lurk just under the water, doesn't the massive 'sail' on its back seem counter-productive? I can't see a scenario where it's able to hide like a croc while that thing is towering out of the water. Is there more to this theory?

Well...unlike Crocodiles nostrils wich are on top of the skull, spinosaurs nostrils are located on the sides of the skull meaning hed have a real hard time staying just bellow surface even without the sail. So i personaly doubt that Spinosaur stayed underwater only to bounce and catch prey. Instead i think Spinosaur probably stayed on the surface and casted a shade with his massive body and sail luring in fish. Then hed quickly catch them using his long teeth filled snout. I think Spinosaur ever really swimmed to get away from sarcosuchuses or to catch a unfortunate Dinosaur who fell into the river he inhabited and possibly when they were young. I think spinosaurs probably dont swim much when they are adults. Their tail isint very bendy nor as suited to fast swimming as crocodiles tail and someting the size of spinosaur probably coudnt swim very fast nor run really fast. Spinosaurs life style was probably more simple than we even know or may ever know. Thats atleast my theory.
