Birth
Baryonyx Whelps are born in with very damaged vocal cords, to signify their birth they will rummage around inside the nests. Once their parents are aware of their birth they will become at rest and wait until juvie stage to become a menace. Whelps once born only attempt to burrow out of the nest if they need food, water, or if the area is dangerous and is required to move.
Juvenile
When the Whelps become Juvenile, they can become very Roudy and easily impressed. Therefore, they can imprint of dinosaurs. You will see this mainly with their symbiote Suchomimus and occasionally a Spinosaurus. However, if the parents begin to see this dangerous behavior they will quickly correct it and bring them away from the carnivores so they aren't harmed or imprint to far in. Since, Whelps are known to become very pushy for the attention from parents they will begin to push others around for it and that will get them in trouble.
Solitary
When Baryonyx becomes alone they will become skittish and will run away from any danger. If they find a chance to be with any of their symbiotes they will take it. At this stage they will act as scavengers and sometimes fishers, they will take their chances with unprotected juveniles as well. They always never be too far away from their water source if them happens to be a dangerous dinosaur pack or lone dinosaur around. You can always hear them answering calls from their symbiotes, in the hopes they might get protection. If they hear other Bary calls they will leave their symbiotes for them, in the hopes to breed or group up. Will travel around at night more to avoid predation and will be hard to find at day.
Courtship
When mating season comes into play there is usually 2 bulls among the float and they will begin to fight for the best females, however, they will only take as many as they can care for in their spot of territory. After they are done fighting, if they have any females, he must provide food and shelter for them and lots of affection as well. If these needs are not met the females may begin to 3 call him and leave him to wallow. However, if the needs are met the females will begin to groom him, offer bits of food and fish and giving the affection back as well. Once they all finish these stages, the bull baryonyx will bring his females to deeper waters and begin giving them a crest and water dance display. Then he will bring them over to an area to repopulate.
Parental Hood
Female baryonyx are very protective of their offspring and will do everything in their power to keep them safe. However, they will not allow any males while she may have children around her. She will allow sisters and mothers near her nest but never brothers or any other unrelated males and this includes her mate. Bulls are very curious of his children and will try and get peaks of them before being shooed away by his female(s). He will look for the strongest children and guard them but the weaker ones he leaves to the mother.
Inhabitants
Baryonyx will be found around marshes and bodies of water. They will never be seen to far from a water source unless they are migrating to a better one.
Hierarchy The 2 strongest males
Pack Mentality
Baryonyx are a close-knit pack and will spend their lives creating bonds with each other so that if may never break. They will also be seen sun basking together and having a few sentries around to keep watch. When it becomes night, the baryonyx will commence in playful activities. Baryonyx have ears like no other dinosaur on the island, so they have no worries about not hearing something, even so they will still have 1 or 2 sentries up. (edited)
