A whole heap spawn down at the footpaw and the other beach places. They have a really short aggro range, my pal landed right next to one and it didn't go off at him.
More Spinosaurus Encountering Tips
If you are having a hard time finding spino's in their respective spawn zones (especially Ragnarok), kill all the fish in that area. They share the same spawn capacity and can be out spawned by coles!
To kill, or drive away, prepare 100+ ammunition of any kind, depending on the lvl and quality of your weapons. Ranged weapons are best, and these guys run away when on low health or high torpor. To drive out, just lower its health to around 10% or less of their health, this’ll be hard depending on the level of the spino.
Once, I was just a Beach Bob. I had a small thatch hut on the beach, with my dilos and Parasaur. I knew there was a Spinosaurus nearby, but it wasn’t very close. The next morning, I looked out upon the lake right by my house, and there is a freaking Spinosaurus swimming in there, just out of range, hunting fish. Nothing bad happened to me, my dinos, or my hut. Be careful around these guys.
I was crossing a river at level 5, hoping the evil fish wouldn't try to eat me, when I look to my right and see this huge spino not too far away from me. I start running (the water was very shallow) towards the shore, when I see a huge group of dilos and a raptor. I decide going to the reb obelisk wasn't worth it, so I turn around and I see another raptor on the shore I was coming from. On my left was just deeper water with the evil fish who's name I cant remember. Suddenly the spino got bored of killing fish and thought a human would taste much better. You can guess what happened next.
So I was just going about my day in ark, and then I see the spino. I don’t realize how much health they had and how much damage they did.😐 I was a frikin idiot and shot it with a rifle. It was barreling twards me. If your a starter like me, DONT ALERT IT
Somehow these break free from large bear traps in 3 seconds... oh no

They said the beaches were safe. The things I’ve seen on beaches would scare many men
