Baryonyx Walkeri... The Claw

Baryonyx Walkeri is a meat eating reptile which lived about 130million years ago and roamed around the southern part of England and around France and Spain.
It is in the same family as T-Rex and Megalosaurus. It was around 10 meters long and 4 meters tall, and it lived in the Early Cetaceous period.
Baryonyx means Heavy Claw, and Walkeri after William Walker who discovered it first.
The rest of the bones are in the Natural History Museum, where they have been put on display in pride of place.
