Alan Grant asked Billy Brennan what kind of dinosaur they saw, Billy thought it was a Suchomimus, because of its snout, Dr. It is unknown if there were any surviving wild populations on Isla Sorna after Hurricane Clarissa hit the island. Its paddock was located near a river, which could have supplied its residents with fish to eat. It was planned to live in its own paddock for Phase I of Jurassic Park, but never made it to Isla Nublar. InGen created five Baryonyx in the InGen Compound in Isla Sorna.

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. 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 was 10 meters (33 feet) long and 2.5 meters (8.25 feet) high at the hips. Baryonyx was smaller than these relatives but was still a big predator. Baryonyx (meaning "heavy claw") is an extinct genus of spinosaur, a member and of the same group as and a close relative to the northern African dinosaurs Spinosaurus and Suchomimus.
