Another ArtisticLicenseBiology for the documentary, as the spines would not have included the spinal cord. The bleeding caused by an multi-ton animal breaking several of its own bones would be a far greater problem than the one the documentary presented. In fact a broken spinosaurus spine was found, and it showed signs of healing, indicating that the animal survived whatever caused it to break.

** And perhaps the most notorious example: Essentially, the ''Spinosaurus'' is portrayed as the ultimate predator of all time, able to effortlessly kill any other predator that lived in its time and region. In short, it is depicted devouring a ''Rugops'' with one bite, killing a ''Carcharodontosaurus'' by slashing it across the face with its claws and effortlessly tearing apart the giant crocodylomorph ''Sarcosuchus''. And that isn't all, its size is practically Franchise/{{Godzilla}}-portioned, as it is able to pick up a 30ft long ''Rugops'' in its mouth and the thing appears to be no bigger than its head. ''Spinosaurus'' didn't really grow larger than 60ft, meaning the one depicted in the episode would have been 300ft long or more.

** The skull of the show's ''Spinosaurus'' is modeled on that of ''Suchomimus'', which didn't even belong to the same subfamily.

** The show only ever uses ''Baryonyx'' as a reference point for filling up the missing parts of ''Spinosaurus'', while making no mention of the Brazilian ''Irritator'' (who is closer to Spino phylogenetically) or ''Suchomimus'', who is closer to Spino in terms of age, size, and geography (both stem from the Sahara), while also being even more complete than ''Baryonyx''. The episode likewise acts as if Stromer’s lost holotype is the only specimen of ''Spinosaurus'' ever found, even though we had found a number of new specimens during the late '90s and 2000s (including skulls).
