Baryonyx is a type of carnivorous dinosaur that lived approximately 130 million years ago during the early Cretaceous period. It was named after its characteristic long, narrow snout, which is similar to that of modern-day crocodiles. There are a few synonyms for Baryonyx, including "Heavy Claw", which refers to the dinosaur's sharp, curved claws that were used for hunting and defense. Another synonym is "Eagle Claw", which is a reference to the dinosaur's sharp, pointed teeth. Baryonyx is also sometimes referred to as "Giant Claw" due to the size of its claws in relation to its body size.
