Metal, but also a Sweetheart (PaleoStories)

This young Baryonyx has had a very pleasant meal . It caught a big fish and it had just swallowed it . It's prey was still alive when it reached the Baryonyx's jaws and so the dinosaur had to put some effort to prevent it from escaping , as it was flopping in desperation for it's life .

The great vibrations that were happening on the Baryonyx's head , made the salty water from it's eyes flow out causing some "tears".

That liquid is an old time favorite of those Cretaceous lepidopterans and so they quickly landed on the head of the dinosaur to taste it . At first , the young Baryonyx was annoyed by the insects , but when the water started to get whipped out from it's face , it felt relieved . It was a perfect day for that dinosaur !
