The ruler of North america before Trex, the high spined lizard, Acrocanthosaurus Atokensis

113 million years ago, during the early Cretaceous period, a fearsome predator roamed the vast floodplains of North America. Dominating it’s ecosystem With its sharp claws and powerful jaws, it hunted and took down some of the largest prey of its era, this is Acrocanthosaurus.

This is my favorite dinosaur and I’m glad that someone with your talent covered it!

[@denizen9998]

When I visited the Texas State Fair in Dallas there was a museum attached to it. In that museum there was a reconstructed skeleton of the Acrocanthosaurus. It was HUGE and terrifying! That was years ago and I'm not so sure it's still there.

[@Sedimented.Studios]

that's pretty cool, I haven't been lucky enough to see a skeleton in person but am sure its massize

[@dukecity7688]

Can you remember what year this was?
Thx .

[@Tallacus]

such a beautiful dino, if you love them you should read Mark of the Conifer by LKD Jennings thats features an Acrocanthosaurus and her pack as well as Utahraptors and other dinosaurs of that time period

[@bobertlee3074]

Love seeing acro getting noticed and maybe do a vid on megalosaurus or some medium sized and less popular and underrated dinosnlike shunosaurus

The king is back!

Could you please credit the artist whose work you used in the thumbnail?

[@Sedimented.Studios]

thank you, any specific topic you'd like to see a video on?

[@VinceRoop-sj8fp]

@@Sedimented.Studios tbh, this dino would have been my top pick. But there is one possibly avian dinosaur that I recently discovered on the web whom I find very intriguing. Yi Qi, the strange wing from china, I argue this video could even go into how interesting the unending evolutionary possibilities in flight. In addition to the fact on how odd that modern birds even have feathers when many vertebrates that took to the air, all “convergent-ly” evolved membrane wings.
However, I love the surprises I get from your content by you showcasing relatively fringe ancient animals, that being said I really want to add that Yi Qi is also a very recent discovery so any information available is unfortunately slim. I don’t think it might make for a good video but your style is very well done, if anyone could do it, you’re on the list.

[@Sedimented.Studios]

I'll look into it and see if i can put together a video

[@VinceRoop-sj8fp]

@@Sedimented.Studiosthat would awesome, thank you for even considering the idea.

This dinosaur is one of my favorite dinos.

The speed of the largest specimen of acrocanthosaurs is likely 7.341 mps or 16.421 based of Larramendi’s speed formula but much smaller individuals can possibly run faster

[@KelliAnnWinkler]

How do we actually KNOW for sure that this is true?

[@t.j.payeur5331]

We can't. It's like cosmology, essentially a really good guess that seems to work most of the time. Some is biological certainty, like different teeth for different purposes, but a lot of models and reconstructions are based on only 3 or 4 bones and extrapolation from that

[@Braint-lr6uf]

Why every theropod have to be compared with Tyrannosaurus? They can't shine by their own?

[@Sedimented.Studios]

They can, this ones being compared tho because it lived in almost the same place, just before trex

[@Imatroll_Icallcap]

Acrocanthosaurus was 14 metres long

[@thedrifter8641]

nope
