#25 -Name: BARYONYX
-Scientific name: Baryonyx walken
-Period: Cretaceous (146-65 million years ago)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baryonyx was discovered in Europe, and is one of the most unusual dinosaurs of its kind. About 6m in length, it had a flat, crocodile-like head with small, sharp teeth and large curved claws on its front feet. Baryonyx is the only known fish-eating dinosaur and might have hunted by snatching its prey from the water with its claw, rather like some bears do today.
