⚡ What Food Chain does
Every 20 minutes 24 seconds at base weight, the Spinosaurus eats one random mutation from each of 3 fruit. Then it roars and puts all of those mutations onto a single fruit. If you have a favorited fruit, that one is chosen first.
Mutations add up in the sell price, so moving several onto one fruit can make that fruit worth far more than the ones that lost them. According to the wiki, it skips favorited fruit when eating, and it keeps feeding until it has 3 or 4 mutations before it transfers anything.

Weight turns it into a machine. The number of fruit it drains rises by 0.2 per kilogram, up to 20 at 85 kg. The cooldown falls 12 seconds per kilogram, reaching its 30-second floor at about 100 kg. A 100 kg Spinosaurus moves up to 20 mutations onto one fruit every 30 seconds.
🦖 Using it well
Favorite the fruit you want to build up: it is both protected from being drained and first in line to receive the mutations. Everything unfavorited in the garden is a donor.
