Spinosaurus is thought to have survived primarily on fish, including giant coelacanths, sawfish, large lungfish and sharks, which lived in the dinosaur's river system, according to Ibrahim.

Most likely fish, possibly smaller dinosaurs.

Although Spinosaurus is considered a pescivore because of its teeth it is possible that if starving a small group might attack a sauropod like Paralititan but there are not enough skeletal remains to give any solid conclusion.

Spinosaurus ate fish. It would also take down small dinosaurs from time to time, although large prey was difficult to kill, due to Spinosaurus having a weak jaw and hollow teeth.

In Jurassic Park 3, the Spinosaurus was extremely overbuffed.

It wasn't a dinosaur that was powerful and would go pick fights with other dinosaurs but instead, it was a fishing dinosaur. It's teeth were hollow and too thin to take down large prey, however it had what appear to be powerful arms.

The fight in JP3 between T.Rex and Spinosaurus in real life would have most likely ended in the Tyrannosaurus winning, but we cannot be sure as they lived on very different continents.

The teeth of Spinosaurus had a shape that is best adapted to catching fish. In addition, they had a long, powerful tail for swimming, and short hind legs, making it easier to swim in shallow water. As such, they probably swam and hunted for fish in freshwater rivers and lakes.

Spinosaurus fossils show that they had long, narrow snouts with conical, interlocking teeth, both of which are adaptations for fishing. In addition, they may have even had pressure sensors for detecting fish they couldn't see in the water, another adaptation for fishing. Lastly, oxygen isotopes suggest that they had a semiaquatic lifestyle and partially digested fish scales were found in the stomach area of a Spinosaurus speciman. All the evidence points to them being mostly piscivorous, or fish eating, but, like other large predators, they probably also scavenged opportunistically and hunted small land animals.

Would a spinosaurus eat other dinosaurus or they would eat the spinosaurus?

Spinosaurus, as of now, is the largest meat-eating animal to walk the earth. Therefore, it would be assumed that Spinosaurus was large enough to hunt smaller dinosaurs, if none were bigger than it. The only time another dinosaur might try to kill a Spinosaur is if it was wounded, ill, or very young. Even an older Spinosaur might still be able to defend itself due to sheer size and mass.

There is no evidence of cannibalism in Spinosaurus. However, many reptiles are cannibalistic on occasion, and there is a chance that Spinosaurus was, too. If it were, however, the only cases of cannibalism would be when large Spinosaurus killed and ate the young offspring of other Spinosaurus.
