Spinosaurus was carnivorous, and had a diet based mostly on fish, using its long, crocodile-like jaws to scoop fish out of the waters easily. However, such a large dinosaur could not survive simply on fish, (although there were some that grew up to six feet long at that time) and most likely fed on other dinosaurs. In addition, this dinosaur's spine may have been fragile, and it would have been careful when hunting other carnivores; if it ever did so.
In summation, Spinosaurus was not a herbivore.

Do spinosaurus canibalized their own kind?
There is no evidence of cannibalism in Spinosaurus. However, many reptiles are cannibalistic on occasion, and there is a chance that Spinosaurus was, too. If it were, however, the only cases of cannibalism would be when large Spinosaurus killed and ate the young offspring of other Spinosaurus.
Is the spinosaurus capable of taking down a large herbivore?
Spinosaurus was mainly piscivorous, as you probably know, but fish were certainly not the only food source for Spinosaurus. It was probably capable of taking down small-medium sized prey like the Iguanodont, Ouranosaurus. However, larger animals like Paralititan or Aegyptosaurus, were probably too large for Spinosaurus too take down. Even Carcharodontosaurus, which was specifically adapted for taking down large sauropods, would need help from several other members of the same species. When hunting other dinosaurs, Spinosaurus may have grappled the prey with it's huge arms then bit into the prey and thrashed it's head back and forth, using it's long neck.
