Baryonyx is a species of Spinosaurid theropod that lived during the Barremian Stage of the Early Cretaceous. Reaching a length of 7.5-10 meters long, it lived in what is now England, Niger and even Spain. In 1983, William Walker found a large claw sticking out of the Smokejacks Pit. In 1986, they named the animal Baryonyx. Baryonyx was one of the few dinosaurs that we know ate fish. In the skeleton of the first complete Baryonyx, paleontologists found the remains of a prehistoric fish called Lepidotes. But it may have also eaten a large dinosaur called Iguanodon as well. Like Spinosaurus, Baryonyx was capable of swimming underwater thanks to its paddle-shaped tail. This proves that all of the Spinosaurids were amphibious creatures. Plus, in the stomach of the Baryonyx, they found the remains of a baby Iguanodon.
