Briefly

For giant carnivorous dinosaurs, big size didn't mean a big bite
"The Spinosaurus showcased its versatility with a diverse diet, including fish and the remains of other dinosaurs, contrasting with the specialized predation of the T. rex."
"T. rex was an ambush predator with a powerful bite, specializing in attacking agile prey, evidenced by fossils showing T. rex teeth embedded in its victims."
The Spinosaurus was versatile, not limited to fishing, as it consumed both fish and remains of other dinosaurs. Spinosaurus and Baryonyx displayed a generalist diet rather than being massive bone-crunching predators. In contrast, the T. rex had a stiff skull enabling it to pursue high power strategies, functioning as an ambush predator targeting large, agile prey. Fossil evidence reveals T. rex’s predatory nature, including a tooth found embedded in a Hadrosaur. Despite T. rex’s strengths, encounters with Spinosaurus would result differently than portrayed in films.
