Lurdusaurus

Baryonyichinae is a clade of Spinosaurid Theropods consisting off

• Baryonyx

• Ceratosuchops

• Riparovenator

• Iberospinus

• Suchomimus

These 5 all share similarities,their very tally built with every member exceeding 3 Meters in Height and they had LONG and powerful arms and if Suchomimus is a base they also had massive shoulder bones that probably anchored massive muscles,now(Excluding Suchomimus) most of them were probably swimmers and fish eaters but if they NEEDED to hunt land prey this is a theory I made on how they hunted

Their shoulder bones allowed them to move their hands forwards Backwards but most importantly to the side

So…..that got me thinking about how they hunted prey

I will use Ceratosuchops and Brighstoneus as a base

Part 1:Ceratosuchops stalks a herd of Brightstoneus

Part 2:Ceratosuchops goes for the chase

Part 3:Ceratosuchops singles into a single Brighstoneus

Part 4:Ceratosuchops runs over Brighstoneus and then….

BAM

Ceratosuchops digs it’s claws deep into the Brighstoneus’s Shoulders and immobilizes the Brighstoneus before biting down onto the Brighstoneus’s neck and killing it

This is my theory on how Baryonychinae Spinosaurids ate

And all 5 lived with smaller ornithopods they could reasonably hunt

Baryonyx lived with Mantellisaurus(Which is evidently hunted)

Iberispinus lived with an unamed Iguanodon species the same size as Mantellisaurus

Ceratosuchops lived with Brighstoneus and Mantellisaurus and Riparovenator could have hunted Iguanodon(If Dan Folkes’s Riparovenator is accurate)

Suchomimus lived with both Ouranosaurus and Lurdusaurus

BUT HEY THAT’S JUST A THEORY,A DINOSAUR THEORY

Lurdusaurus Vs. Sauroniops

Lurdusaurus

Weight: 6.06 tons(5.49 tonnes)

Height: 2 meters(6.5 feet)

Length: 9 meters(29.5 feet)

Sauroniops

Weight: 4.9 tons(4.5 tonnes)

Height: 3.5 meters(11.4 feet)

Length: 11 meters(36 feet)

A lurdusaurus and a suchomimus try roaring it off. The lurdusaurus breaks the spinosaur's jaw, killing it. Awoken by the commotion, the Sauroniops checks it out. Both lurdusaurus and sauroniops eventually meet. The sauroniops tries biting its long neck but is stabbed in the neck by lurdusaurus, though not too severe. The sauroniops dodges another attack but this time aims for the neck. The sauroniops bites the lurdusaurus' neck and rips it off.

At the moment Lurdusaurus has 20% of the votes(3 votes), while sauroniops has a much bigger 47% of the votes(7 votes). The rest 33% was taken by the "Idk" choices.

Coincidentaly, suchomimus is actually gonna be in the next fight!
