Could Spinosaurus swim? The fierce dinosaur ignites debate

Scene: A small patrol boat cruises through the water, just offshore of an island somewhere in the Caribbean. Cue the pounding drums, movie-trailer speak for danger approaching.

Enter: Spinosaurus. Three large spiny sails slice through the cerulean sea and begin to circle the boat. The water roils.

“What the hell are those!?” a passenger asks with trepidation.

Cut to: Another passenger clinging precariously to the rigging as the boat lists. Suddenly, one of the spiny-sailed terrors surges from the ocean, jaws snapping.
