Baryonyx Fishing

Baryonyx Fishing at a River

(new drawing)

Baryonyx was a Spinosaur that was first found in England in 1984.  It had a long snout and sensors on the end of that snout for detecting movement in murky water. .  The nostrils were up high so the dinosaur could dip its sensitive snout into the water to detect and catch fish.    Crocodiles and Alligators have the same type of sensors.  Baryonyx WAS a Spinosaur but did not have a sail like Spinosaurus.  It lived in the Early Cretaceous Period and perhaps was an ancestor to the much larger Spinosaurus.  Baryonyx was about 33 ft or 10 meters long and weighed close to 2 tons.  It probably ate fish when the fishing was good and ate other land animals when necessary.

(This is an older drawing.)

Below are some older drawings of Spinosaurus.  Spinosaurs was 55 feet or about 17 meters long.  It also ate fish as a primary source of food.  It had the large sail that may have been for temperature regulation.  There were other species of Spinosaurs, such as Suchomimus, Ichthyovenator, Siamosaurus, etc.

This is not a bad drawing.  The back legs on Spinosaurtus were

 this short.  A newer discovery of a Spinosaurus 

skeleton in Moroccoshowed that this 55 foot long monster walked 

a bit like a Crocodile. . . and lived a lot like a croc. as well.
