Guess the animal!

With 2024 approaching, here's another guessing game, this time about the natural world and its denizens.

Rules

Any animal extinct or alive is allowed.
Bacteria and single celled organisms aren't allowed.
You are allowed ask up to three questions per post (but please do it sparingly every round).
Rounds are allowed to go on for two days after the round's start, but if everyone is stumped, the OP can reveal it, and goes to the person who declares stumped first.
Please put the common name and scientific name when you reveal the answer for extant species.
- Note that I said Extant; extinct species usually have no common name, so put the full scientific name.
Images are recommened.

No (I never heard of that species before!) and I would say no to the horror film question, although the film was covered by a horror media YouTuber once IIRC.

Round 3

A portrayal of me is a Base-Breaking Character in the work said portrayal appeared in.
- Said work is a live action film.
- I'm portrayed as a villain.
- I'm not a Team Pet in the film.
- The film is generally not counted as a horror film but it was once covered by a horror media YouTuber.
I'm a reptile.
- I'm not part of the Squamata order.
I'm an extinct species.
I'm not the Great White Shark, a snake, crocodilian, a turtle, a tuatara, or a lizard.

Round 3: Spinosaurus (Spinosaurus)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jurassic_park_3_spinosaurus.png

A dinosaur that's the longest known terrestrial carnivore and has a rather big sail on its back, the Spinosaurus appears as the antagonist of Jurassic Park III. The film's portrayal of the Spinosaurus is considered a Base-Breaking Character as some fans considered it a cool, scary villain while others disliked it due to being a Replacement Scrappy who killed off the beloved T. Rex for no good reason other to showcase a new, bigger dinosaur. It's also my favorite dinosaur as kid me found its big sail and crocodilian snout pretty cool and I still hold a similar opinion today.

(And yea the YouTuber I mentioned is James A. Janisse of Dead Meat, who decided to cover the entire Jurassic Park franchise on the Kill Count series even though only the first film can be considered a horror film)

Your turn, unCertan!
