InterestingΒ crocodilian behavior depiction, but this is unlikely if not entirely impossible due to theΒ overallΒ narrowness of its snout

I could see them doing that.

All Yesterdays ! ?
Also (in speculative manners) that is possible ?

Iβm not sure whether there would be enough space in a spinosaurine mouth, especially in a baryonychine.
Their snouts are really very narrow, and it seems they donβt expand too much posteriorly either:

It would require some serious balancing for the hatchlings to stay in there, and closing the mouth is out of the question.
However this is a really nice concept that is surprisingly never portrayed in theropods. The wide, round snouts of derived tyrannosaurs would be just perfect for this for example.

Yours not mine, my theories a little weird and less realistic

I think this a creative and realistic behavior

I have a little theory that perhaps the reason trex to keep his arms was to carry his or her babies

Very obvious and plausible, yet i've never seen someone do this...well done

It's certainly a feasible concept, that's for sure.

Great work on the head; I've always found suchomimus a little tricky especially sculpting it.

Lovely colours, those hatchlings look really cute

I often draw parallels between crocodilians and spinosaurs in my mind, but this is one I just blanked for some reason... I like this.

The title should be "the crocodile mimic mimicking crocodiles".

Everybody say awwwwwwww. I love those colors, too!

I'm surprised paleoartists didn't do this kind of parallel between spinosaurids and crocs more often. Cute and interesting behaviour. Congrats !

So cute! Just imagine if they made little peeping noises too!
