Baryonyx Chomp Back Epic Attack

Baryonyx is the heavy-clawed fish eater from England, and its first skeleton still had fish scales in its stomach. Mattel made it an Epic Attack figure in Jurassic World Epic Evolution, the Chomp Back Baryonyx, an orange figure with a teal back and head, a roaring chomp attack and three levels of light-up neck damage. Here is what the figure looks like, what Baryonyx ate, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Last Meal: Fish on the Menu

The first Baryonyx skeleton came with evidence of what it ate.

Stomach contentsA fishy dinnerBaryonyx walkeri
Found: 1983By: William Walker, an amateur collectorStomach: scales of the fish LepidotesAlso: bones of a young Iguanodon
William Walker spotted a huge claw in a clay pit in Surrey, England. The skeleton that followed held acid-etched fish scales in the stomach area, the first direct proof that a dinosaur ate fish.

Bones of a young Iguanodon were found too, so Baryonyx probably ate land animals as well.

About Baryonyx

Baryonyx was named in 1986 by Alan Charig and Angela Milner, from a skeleton found in 1983 by William Walker in Surrey, England. The name means heavy claw.

It lived in the Early Cretaceous, about 130 to 125 million years ago. It was about 7.5 to 10 m long.

Baryonyx was a spinosaurid, a relative of Spinosaurus. Its crocodile-like snout was well suited to catching fish.
