Baryonyx was a dinosaur with a big claw
It used it to catch fish and make them raw
It had a long snout like a crocodile
And a crest on its nose that was quite in style
It lived in the Early Cretaceous time
When Europe was warm and sunny and fine
It was one of the spinosaurs, a special kind of theropod
That liked to eat fish more than flesh and blood
Baryonyx was a dinosaur that was very cool
But don’t get too close or you’ll end up as its stool

What does the Baryonyx look like?
Baryonyx was a large, two-legged dinosaur that belonged to the Spinosauridae family.
It lived in the Early Cretaceous period, about 130 to 125 million years ago, in what is now Europe.
Baryonyx had a long, narrow, and flat skull that resembled a crocodile's, with many small, cone-shaped teeth that were good for catching fish.
This dinosaur also had a large claw, about 31 centimeters (12 inches) long, on each of its thumbs, which it may have used to hook fish or other prey.
Its body was robust and muscular, with a long neck and a hump or ridge along its back.
Baryonyx was about 8.5 meters (28 feet) long and weighed about 1.8 metric tons (2 short tons).
