Scientists have recreated the brain of the largest carnivorous dinosaur ever known to have walked the Earth – using fossils discovered on the Isle of Wight and England’s south coast.

Spinosaurus – a giant of the Late Cretaceous period – is perhaps the largest predator to have ever lived, growing up to 50 feet (15 metres) in length and weighing as much as 20 tonnes.

Despite bearing a physical resemblance to the infamous Tyrannosaurus rex, the dinosaur has been described as “an enormous river-monster” which dominated the waterways of what is now north Africa.

What they're actually saying is, "We make it up as we go along."
They wildly "imagine" - like NASA fans do!
