No, it's not a cryptid.
It's a large predatory dinosaur unearthed on the Isle of Wight. 9 meters long, a horny and bumpy skull, teeth like a crocodile...and the hunting habits of a heron. That is, we think this thing stood by the water and waited for fish or other aquatic prey to show up. The crocodile-style teeth were well suited for grabbing large fish.
It's in the Spinosauridae family and I'm kinda glad I'll never meet one. Well, maybe. See one from a good distance, sure, and be glad I'm not a fish.
