Paul Sereno Discovers New Giant Wading Dinosaur in Sahara Desert

Paul Sereno and Daniel Vidal announced the discovery of a new dinosaur species named Spinosaurus mirabilis in the Sahara Desert of Niger.The giant carnivore lived 95 million years ago and reached sizes comparable to a Tyrannosaurus rex, featuring a saber-shaped crest and specialized teeth for catching fish.Findings from the University of Chicago study published in Science suggest the species behaved like a wading bird rather than a marine predator.
