Educational Information
Baryonyx had a low, narrow skull and long jaws lined with dozens of teeth. Remains of a fish have been found inside the ribcage of one skeleton of this dinosaur, supporting the notion that it ate fish at least some of the time. The large hands of Baryonyx were tipped with powerful claws and may have been useful for grasping slippery prey. The rocks in which fossils of this dinosaur have been found indicate that it lived near rivers, lakes, and coastlines. In contrast to its close relative Spinosaurus, which had very long spines on its back, Baryonyx had much shorter spines.
