No. Just no. Spinosaurus was not that aquatic. Even Ibrahim thinks it was only as aquatic as Ambulocetus. Besides, is this supposed to take place in shallow or deep water?

Analogy backfired: Ambulocetus can’t move on land.
And it’s obviously in water deep enough for both.

Basilosaurus is the winner.

Yup.
Wouldn't Basilosaurus also be substantially more massive than Spinosaurus? I can hardly see any way the spinosaur is getting out of this one alive.

I favor Basilosaurus in deep water, Spinosaurus on land and shallow water.

I favor Basilosaurus in deep water, Spinosaurus on land and shallow water. Good call. The whale is the better swimmer. |

I’m going with the Basilosaurus just based on the poll

leoGot any reasons for that? Or anything to rebut Spino's arguments?

Neither could Spino in deep water, really. Sure, it could land a bite or two if it is lucky, but so could Basilosaurus in shallow water (though on land, I agree with you).
