Gone Fishing...

Baryonyx walkeri is one of the most unique of the theropods. It sports a long, crocodillian snout, filled with many unserrated teeth. Also, fish remains were found with the skeleton, suggesting piscivorous diet. B. walkeri also owns a large thumb claw on each hand. Some say that it could have used these claws to scoop fish out of the water, like a grizzly bear.

It was discovered in England. It was about 30 feet long, slightly small than its larger relatives (Suchomimus, etc)
