About
You Voted For Supersaurus
A truly massive animal, Supersaurus might have been as large as 130 feet. Like other Sauropods, this Dinosaur probably spent its days either looking for food, or eating. It takes a lot of food to fuel a beast as large as Supersaurus. To increase the speed at which it could get food, Supersaurus did not chew. Instead, it swallowed its food whole.
Supersaurus'' teeth were shaped like the pegs of a rake, and it used them to in effect rake the leafs and vegetation off of surrounding trees.
This animal may have been the longest, but not the heaviest of all the Dinosaurs.

About
Spinosaurus
Both one of the largest, and also one of the strangest of the Dinosaur age, Spinosaurus had a long slender snout, and large sail on its back.
Spinosaurus was originally discovered in Egypt in the early 1900s. The original fossils were destroyed however, in a bombing raid during World War II.
The long snout of Spinosaurus may have been used to catch fish. Some scientists believe that Spinosaurus was a scavenger, using its alligator shaped mouth to eat the soft flesh of rotting animal carcasses.
Spinosaurus'' sail was not unique. During the time period in which it lived, many other dinosaurs had sails, including just about every major type or group of Dinosaurs.
What were these sails used for? Dinosaurs were, for the most part, cold-blooded animals. This means that they could not regulate their body temperature. When the whether outside cooled down, so did the body''s of these large animals.
Sails may have been used to catch sunlight, and warm the blood Spinosaurus as well as other animals with sails.
