About

Spinosaurus Racha or Spinosaurus Streak, also known as Spinosaurus Screaming at Snapchat Streak Fire Emoji or Dinosaur Yelling and Pointing, is a TikTok meme trend and exploitable format based on a viral video of a Spinosaurus shrieking intermittently while pointing at a grey image of the Fire Emoji used to represent Snapchat streaks (a feature of the app when two people Snap back and forth with each other at least once a day, every day), meaning the streak has been broken.

The original video was posted by TikToker @sr.kekaz87 in late November 2025 and became the subject of edits over the following days, in which the image of the Spinosaurus is replaced with other characters and people. Notably, the original video was shared over 37 million times in its first three days on TikTok.

Origin

On November 29th, 2025, TikToker^[1] @sr.kekaz87 posted a video in which a Spinosaurus shrieks intermittently while pointing at a grey Fire Emoji, most commonly associated with Snapchat streaks. When the Emoji turns grey, it means that the streak has been broken, as one participant hasn't sent a Snap within the required 24-hour period. The Spinosaurus' movement is achieved with two still images of the dinosaur, one showing it screaming and pointing with its mouth open, and one showing it looking at the Fire Emoji.

The video description reads, "Spinosaurus racha," "racha" meaning "streak" in Spanish. The video gained over 74.5 million views, 8.9 million likes, 1.5 million favorites and 37 million shares in three days.

The video inspired numerous meme edits over the following days in late November and early December 2025, which replaced the Spinosaurus with another subject.
