A reconstructed skull of the Egyptian Spinosaurus, a dinosaur believed to have lived around 100 million years ago, drew the attention of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi during the opening of a mining exhibition in Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to RT, el-Sisi viewed the detailed skull replica displayed inside a glass case while touring the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
German paleontologist Ernst Stromer discovered the first remains of the dinosaur in\u00a01912\u00a0in the Bahariya Oasis in Egypt\u2019s Western Desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Egypt\u2019s State Information Service says Spinosaurus was among the largest known predators in Earth\u2019s history. Its jaw and teeth suggest that fish and other aquatic animals made up a significant part of its diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The original fossils were later transferred to a museum in Munich, Germany, but were destroyed in a\u00a0World War II bombing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More recent research involving Egyptian and international scientists has made it possible to reconstruct the dinosaur\u2019s skull and skeleton using newly discovered evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reconstructed specimen has renewed interest in Egypt\u2019s fossil discoveries and their importance to the study of prehistoric life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
