RE: Carnotaurus

assuming the following theories, the _Tyrannosaurus rex_ and _Spinosaurus
aegypticus_ have had so big "arm differences" if both used only their mouth
to eat: _T. rex_ because of his small arms, and _S. aegypticus_ because he
caches fishes with his mouth (or feed on dinosaur corpses, like _T rex_ may
did too)?

Ummm, as I understand it, it is thought most Spinosaurids DID use their
forelimbs to hunt/catch fish.  Therefore the enlargement of the manual ungal
to help the animal hook the prey.  Can anyone set me straight as to the
contrary?
