Baryonyx

***Baryonyx*** is an extinct genus of Spinosaur, a member of the same group as the northern African dinosaurs *Spinosaurus* and *Suchomimus*. *Baryonyx* was smaller than these relatives but was still a big predator. It was 10 meters (33 feet) long and 2.5 meters (8.25 feet) high at the hips. However, studies in the fossils of *Baryonyx* indicate that it had not yet reached its adult stage, so it could be larger, and another study found that there were vertebrae a little larger than others, which would indicate a possible candle or hump in the adult specimen.

It had a long, narrow snout filled with teeth that were cone-shaped - a real difference from the blade-shaped teeth of typical meat-eating dinosaurs.

## story

### jurassic park/ world

nGen created five *Baryonyx*es in the InGen Compound in Isla Sorna. It was planned to live in its own paddock for Phase I of Jurassic Park, but never made it to Isla Nublar. Its paddock was located near a river, which could have supplied its residents with fish to eat.

It is unknown if there were any surviving wild populations on Isla Sorna after Hurricane Clarissa hit the island. InGen recreated this dinosaur for Masrani Global Corporation's new dinosaur park Jurassic World. The artwork on the website had proto-feathers on the back of their arms and on the top of their heads. They were brown with yellow stripes on their backs, legs, and underbelly, a aquamarine eyespot and brown patches on their body and stripes on their tail. While mostly accurate, the paintings neural spines were too short. It lived alongside its relative *Suchomimus* in the Cretaceous Cruise.

These variants are much different from the real-life counterparts and the *Jurassic World* website painting. These clones have a crocodilian-like armored back and crocodilian-like underbelly, a long but broader snout that narrows as it reaches the tip of the snout, a less pronounced notch in the upper jaw, lacks the triangular crest on the top of its nasal bones, pronated wrists like all of InGen's cloned theropods, second and third fingers being longer, claws on the second and third fingers being longer and up to the length of its thumb claw, and more straight and conical teeth. The coloration is mostly a drab grey with greyish black on the back with turquoise sprinkles all over its back, with a creamy white belly, and turquoise blue on the eye orbit.

One individual was seen walking out of a maintenance tunnel, as it is about to attack Claire Dearing and Franklin Webb in the Radio Bunker while lava is pouring in. Despite being pelted with lava, it remains unfazed and determined to get to its potential prey. Before it could attempt to devour them both, Claire and Franklin manage to lock it inside the underground control center, where it would have likely met its demise by the surging lava. Another individual was seen and was transported by helicopter to the boat.

At least three *Baryonyx*es were captured to be sold off at the Lockwood Manor Auction. Two *Baryonyx*es were briefly seen escaping the estate with all the other dinosaurs, while another one that was bought at the auction was last seen being loaded onto a cargo plane to be delivered to its buyer. It is unknown what happened with this last specimen.
