from what i know of spinosaurus this has to be one of those semi-tongue-in-cheek depictions that show something clearly made up yet way more sensible than early paleoart, to make a point about how we should keep an open mind and that these animals PROBABLY ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE ANIMALS

like the fluffy sparrow-looking T.rex, it almost certainly didn't look like this but it's a much better assumption than featherless scaly monsters.
