Spinosaurus by the River

Spinosaurus stands out from every other dinosaur thanks to the tall sail of connected spines running along its back. This page shows it beside a river, where it spent much of its time, with a long narrow snout like a crocodile and strong clawed hands. The big sail is the star of the page — it is perfect for stripes, a sunset gradient, or bold blocks of color — while the water ripples and reeds at its feet give a sense of place. Spinosaurus was one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs and may have been the first known to swim and hunt fish. The mix of a large body and an eye-catching sail makes this a satisfying page for kids who want a little more to color. Print on A4 or US Letter for best results.
