RE: Swiming spinosaurus

["Steven Coombs" <gasperex@hotmail.com>]

I heard and read about the "hump theory", and I do find somethings wrong
with this theory, how could an animal have something like this on its back.
There would be too much weight distributed on the back of the animal, the
animal would be a struggleing with it whnever it moved! From the remains of
the neural arches they were quite slender(It would be really imposible to
hold it up much), and if it did have a hump, would it be more plauseable
that it would have had air-sacs just like some giant Sauropods such as
Sauroposeidon in there neck, to take off a bite of the weight? And why do
they bring this up more on Spinosaurus than other animals presumed to have
sails such as Ouranosaurus, and it lived on the same continent as
Spinosaurus and the same type of environment? Aleast Ouranosaurus has
remains while Spinosaurus remains just dust!

If I was a dinosaur like Spinosaurus I would be more interested with the
sail!
