@Andromedus the dragon wtf! Since when is iguanodon considered a bloody sauropod!?
@Concaventor Wrangler At least you've seen the position of the arms in other theropods before saying that.
@A Ducc I guess Destroyed without any source...
The level of Dinopedia has dropped a lot in recent months.
@Harpy Eagle Enthusiast Could you at least read my previous comments instead of forcing me to write new ones?
@LynxSoott It is an article of the 2016 LMAO
The same thing always happens when you debate about a Spinosaurid, scientific rigor only works for these dinosaurs hahaha
@Harpy Eagle Enthusiast I'll ignore your comment because at this point I'm just going in circles and I'm getting bored.
@Ganimes At least share sources instead of assumptions.
@ScaryLookinHobo I literally shared the article that wikipedia uses as a reference.
@Concaventor Wrangler However you are ignoring the article in the second link...
And so?... It's funny that you say that while ignoring the studies on the predatory capacity of Spinosauridae based on the resistance of their jaws and their strong forearms.
@Ganimes Well the sources say Iguanodon not Iguanodon atherfieldensis.
@Ganimes @The dragnor knows more about what I say since it was information that he shared a while ago.
@ScaryLookinHobo No, no Spinosaurid was a specialized sauropod hunter.
@Deltadromeus445-2 I honestly agree that the current Baryonyx neotype is too small and light to see it take down a healthy fully grown iguanodon but I think Baryonyx could still go for juvenile iguanodons.
@ScaryLookinHobo You know that not all sauropods were giants weighing tens of tons, right?
Animals can also be large and yet be vulnerable to predators due to factors such as still being too young to know how to defend themselves.

@Concaventor Wrangler The capture is somewhat old and I apologize if the part highlighted in yellow has caused any misunderstanding but the article also mentions iguanodontids in relation to the Baryonyx fossils and how the jaw strength of Baryonychinae was sufficient to feed on terrestrial prey of medium size while the robust forelimbs could have been used to hunt large prey.
I haven't been active in dinosaur related fandoms in a while and I'm not really up to date on the validity of Siamosaurus but I have seen that new Baryonyx fossils keep linking iguanodon as part of the Baryonyx diet.
Why use the horrible Allosaurus excuse from Jurassic World as an example?
@Concaventor Wrangler In any case, whether you like it or not, fossils of Spinosaurids with conical and smooth teeth like Siamosaurus are directly related to the consumption of sauropods.
@Baragon301 Why mention Spinosaurus here in a study on Baryonychiade?
@Concaventor Wrangler In this post I never mentioned anything like that.
Leaving aside the dense bones and the elongated skull, Baryonyx had a very typical structure for a theropod. We now know that its brain was no different from that of other non-pscivorous theropods and since the post inquires about the Baryonychiade sub family I focused exclusively on Baryonyx.
