About Irritator

A spinosaurid named out of pure frustration after dealers glued fake bones onto its snout and scientists spent months undoing the damage. Hunted fish with crocodile like jaws. A pterosaur bone lodged in one throat shows it swallowed prey whole. One of the best studied Brazilian dinosaurs.
