Someone edited the Wikipedia entry for Aegyptosaurus in a way that Spinosaurus is listed as a probably predator of the estimated 11 tonne sauropod. It may be better noted that Spinosaurus may have scavenged from the dinosaur's carcass, but killing a healthy Aegyptosaurus was most likely not within the anatomical abilities of Spinosaurus, despite its rather large size. Regardless, we know that a highly probable predator of Aegyptosaurus was Carcharodontosaurus. The size of Aegyptosaurus was most likely a defense, but not a perfect defense.
