Science strikes again. The gigantic 2-legged monster, Spinosaurus, from the third Jurassic park film was apparently the weirdest looking dinosaur of them all in real life. Supposedly it's legs were actually smaller than its arms making it into the first knuckle-walking semi aquatic dinosaur

Some are suggesting that because of these weird legs it probably did not walk, instead just staying in the water because it's legs were better for swimming, like a loon, a giant monster loon.
