My Favorite Animal : The Spinosaurus

The Spinosaurus



The Spinosaurus was 15 meter high, 7.5 ton Theropod that lives during the upper Albanian to upper Turonian stages of the Cretaceous period, approximately 112 to 93.5 million years ago, the Spinosaurus lived in what is now North Africa, the Spinosaurus' bones were discovered in 1912 but was not explained until 1915 by paleontologist Ernst Stormer, it was one of the most unique dinosaurs as distinguished by its "spine" On its back, this is where the name Spinosaurus came from, which means "Spine Lizard".

The Spinosaurus is a carnivorous type of dinosaurs, in fact it is one of the biggest, even then it feast on bigger species among the Titanosaur, and it had to defend itself from the 10 meter long crocodylomorph Stomatosuch and the 12 meter long, 10 ton Sarcosuchus which is a type of prehistoric crocodile that lived in the same areas as the Spinosaurus, it is also known that the Spinosaurus can swim

Despite the fossils found are from Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco, the contents from it's stomach are analyzed to be of European and South American specimens, as the part of Pangea it's in broke apart in the Jurrasic era, though it is known that the Spinosaurus lived in the African Coast, where the weather is hot and humid, although by 94 million years ago the Spinosaurus lived in North Africa, where the area was now surrounded by sea and the preys were mostly water based animals, this may have caused the Spinosaurus to change it's diet and repurposed it's spine as some sort of a swimming fin or a rudder to help the Spinosaurus in the water. 

Why did I like the Spinosaurus?, well it's because not only does it looks cool, it is also one of the contenders for the infamous Tyrannosaurus Rex, also it is a fast runner, about 17km/h tops, yet with that it can also swim, which is a unique ability to have for a dinosaur this big. 

I hope y'all enjoyed this small blog about the Spinosaurus, I'll be sure to make more when the time is available, have a nice day and see you soon.

So, Who is Erwin Rommel?


Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944) was a German general and military theorist. Popularly known as the Desert Fox, he served as field marshal in the Wehrmacht (Defense Force) of Germany during World War ll, as well as serving in the Reichswehr of the Weimar Republic, and the army of Imperial Germany
Rommel was a highly decorated officer in World War I and was awarded the Pour le Mérite for his actions on the Italian Front. In 1937 he published his classic book on military tactics, Infantry Attacks, drawing on his experiences from World War I. In World War II, he distinguished himself as the commander of the 7th Panzer Division during the 1940 invasion of France. His leadership of German and Italian forces in the North African campaign established his reputation as one of the most able tank commanders of the war, and earned him the nickname der Wüstenfuchs, "the Desert Fox". Among his British adversaries he earned a strong reputation for chivalry, and the North African campaign has often been called a "war without hate". He later commanded the German forces opposing the Allied cross-channel invasion of Normandy in June 1944.

Why did i choose this Rommel as my inspiration?

Rommel was a very advanced military commander in World War ll, he was able to lead his army in a very professional way and thus gain staggering amounts of victory, notably during the North African Campaign, yet despite him being on the Axis side, he always respected his enemy and never committed war crimes unlike any other Axis division during World War ll, he deliberately disobeyed Hitler's orders to execute any enemy personnel captured by his division, in return he was both respected and praised back by the Allies, he was also considered one of the best generals of World War ll.

Rommel has become a larger-than-life figure in both Allied and Nazi propaganda, and in postwar popular culture, with numerous authors considering him an apolitical, brilliant commander and a victim of the Third Reich. Rommel's reputation for conducting a clean war was used in the interest of the West German rearmament and reconciliation between the former enemies – the United Kingdom and the United States on one side and the new Federal Republic of Germany on the other. Several of Rommel's former subordinates, notably his chief of staff Hans Speidel, played key roles in German rearmament and integration into NATO in the postwar era. The German Army's largest military base, the Field Marshal Rommel Barracks, Augustdorf, is named in his honour.
