Best Answer

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.

No, some other dinosaurs also had sails. One was Irritator, a relative of Spinosaurus, which had a similar, but smaller, sail. Another was Hypacrosaurus, which was a quadrupedal herbivore that had very high spines on its back.

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.
