Could The JP Spinosaurus Survive The Cretaceous?

Описание: What if Jurassic Park’s Spinosaurus, Asset 87, was dropped into the real-world ecosystems of Late Cretaceous Africa? Well today we explore a scenario where this beast of cinema attempts to survive within our real life prehistory.. Could it dominate this harsh ecosystem, or would it struggle against its native counterparts? There is only one way to find out!

Also let some of the grammar slide (it was a late night editing)

If you enjoyed then I'd appreciate if you like and subscribed!
