1. The original work done on the matrix removed from the bones of Baryonyx
produced some fish scales which showed signs of having been partially
digested.  
2. The jaw design and the high number of teeth possibly indicates a
crocodile-like fish eating life-style.
3. The most wildest suggestion was that the large front claws could have been
used in grizzly bear fashion to scoop fish from water.
