Acrocanthosaurus: The Terror of the West

[@CrimsonAcro]

HELL YEAH! My favorite dinosaur of all time! It was an honor to narrate this and I can't wait for the next video!

[@louiemercado5595]

Nice work on Acrocanthosaurus, my friends! Please make more on other Carhcarodontosaurs for the future.

[@MephilasSeijin]

This was fun to animate in. Glad we were able to pull through and cook with this one !

[@SpinoDragon145]

I’m happy to have been involved with the creation for this video, and it was nice seeing how smooth the production was. Great job everyone!

[@joseluiscalixto5651]

The video turned out very well, you can see the dedication they have put into it. A big hug to all the people who collaborated 👋

[@Epoch_Now]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@Sauropodgaminggaming]

I love the soundtracks and the way it feels like a documentary.

[@Muhammad-RAJ]

Strongly agree

[@Santagmk0]

Favorite dinosaur of all time right here, this video made it feel like a true king After watching this video: idk why but I cried at the end of the video, guess it goes to show just how majestic these beautiful creatures really were

[@JosephConte-eb7xx]

I believe it could have grown longer than that. Possibly 12 meters or 40 feet long.

[@DinoNerd208]

This was so amazing its very informative and put together really well and Acrocanthosaurs is such an amazing dinosaur! Some animals I would like to see would be maybe Torvosaurus Altispinax Miragaia or Titanoboa all of them would be awesome!

[@Epoch_Now]

Many of those are being considered as we speak! and thank you for the kind words!

[@DinoNerd208]

No Problem!

[@thedinosaurhunter3515]

Another fantastic video!

[@Rodanguyy]

Did it have a sail or a hump?

[@Epoch_Now]

it would've been more muscular and voluminous than a flat sail almost certainly

[@Rodanguyy]

@Epoch_Now so not a sail or a hump. So kind of like a raised back ?

[@Epoch_Now]

@@Rodanguyy think of it like how there appears to be a "Sail" in a bison skeleton, but in the actual animal, it's a giant muscle attachment

[@Rodanguyy]

@Epoch_Now that makes more sense, so it had muscle attachments

[@theblazingredcomet1954]

Commenting for the algorithm, the high spined lizard needs high numbers. Amazing work from the team as always. Cant wait to see that video on dinosaurus 🤡

[@melly_isjelly4001]

Slay love the video!

[@CrimsonAcro]

:D

[@rangogamer1386]

Happy to see it finally uploaded! Glad it's finally been uploaded!!!!

[@Rodanguyy]

If acrocanthosaurus was the end of the age of the carnosaurs, then how come carcharodontosaurids like giganotosaurus, mapusaurus, and tyranotitan lived after it

[@Epoch_Now]

we are speaking of “the end of the age of the carnosaurs” in broad poetic terms here. Carnosaurs are known all the way from the Jurassic to the late Cretaceous, with acro being one of the last ones, and certainly the last from North America, where Jurassic giants like Allosaurus used to reign

[@DarkMaster2522]

I rewatched the intro at least 8 times it was fire 🔥 🗣️

[@goldfishmentality]

Awesome vid bro! Gl with your dinotuber journey! Also asking for Sinotyrannus next lol

[@dagoodboy6424]

I live near acros old stomping grounds. I also found a dinosaur fossil last week.

[@darkroom0716]

That FC5 music in the end is such a good track. Too bad the hymns on the game get all the attention because the more ambient guitar tracks really brought a serene mood to the game. As for the video, awesome. Love Acrocanthrosaurus, cool to see more on it!

[@DavidWillisSLS]

Another awesome video!! Can you please do Dakosaurus!

[@Tesod_]

Hi! Nice video I would be happy to see a video about Plateosaurus in your channel

[@Epoch_Now]

That’s a really good idea!

[@MajungaDude]

Amazing video dude

[@adamtruong1759]

It may not be as big as it's megatheropod cousins, Acrocanthosaurus is still an impressive and unique animal. The Carcharodontosaurids get overshadowed by the Tyrannosaurids a lot, not helped by the 2000-2010 push that predators like Carcharodontosaurus and Giganotosaurus were larger than T-rex (long story short, they weren't, or at least there's no substantial evidence to support it yet), even though they're powerful in their own right. Also, I like how you added the Jurassic Park: Builder battle music, I miss that game.

[@Rodanguyy]

As of right now carcharodontosaurids and carnosaurs in general need a revival as even new documentaries like prehistoric planet focus more on coelurosaur and less of the carnosaurs

[@adamtruong1759]

@@Rodanguyy I mean, Carnosaurs were kind of absent in the timeframe that documentary covers.

[@Rodanguyy]

@@adamtruong1759 I know that's why we need a carnosaur documentary cause I love both coelurosaurs and carnosaurs

[@adamtruong1759]

​@@Rodanguyy That's true, the early Cretaceous in dire need of some updated presentation.

[@Rodanguyy]

@@adamtruong1759 I thought charcarodontosaurids were late cretacous while tyranosaurids were later late cretaceous

[@BDsatratraleague23]

Acrocanthosaurus isn't the last apex predator before T rex of North American landscape . There were Siats meekerorum & newly described Mcraeencis were apex predators after Acrocanthosaurus.

[@Epoch_Now]

Mcraeensis is actually a species of tyrannosaurus, and Siats was a coelurosaur. Acrocanthosaurus, as weve stated, was the last great *carnosaur* predator of North america

[@Agul_Asli765]

​@@Epoch_Now Siats it's Neovenatoridae (Carnosaur) not Coelurosaur

[@Epoch_Now]

@@Agul_Asli765 the most recent paper on the topic is a 2024 paper describing the newly named alpkarakush, which, yes, puts siats as a carcharodontosaur, HOWEVER, that same paper puts monolophosaurus in spinosauridae, so we can tell that some funky things are occurring with that paper. the next most recent paper, a 2022 publication, found siats to be a megaraptor within coelurosauria. given the weird nature of the alpkarakush paper and the enigmatic nature of the actual skeletal material, when making this comment we referenced the 2022 publication that puts it in megaraptora, and thus making it a coelurosaur

Do the ONLY Sauropod that Both lived and EVEN competed with tyrannosaurus rex: i'm talking of course about the TRUE king of dinosaurs:alamosaurus

[@bkjeong4302]

The second largest North American theropod and the one that attacked the largest prey, assuming that it was “only” going after subadult Sauroposeidon at most (which, with a sauropod that weighed around 40 tons as an adult, could still mean an 20 ton juvenile/subadult prey item.). Also, Deinonychus being solitary isn’t a given due to the studies arguing it couldn’t be social being based on inaccurate/outdated ideas about modern animal behaviour (to put it simply; no family groups =/= no social groups or no organized group hunting). That said Deinonychus could have been solitary-it’s just that the supposed evidence in favour of it is sketchy. And given how tiny it is compared to Acrocanthosaurus I doubt an adult Acro would regularly prey on it (why not attack a Tenontosaurus?)

[@theblazingredcomet1954]

You do realize that juveniles exist? They likely were faster than adults and consumed different prey. Sure Deinonychus wouldn't always be the best bet but it's not outside of the question. It's like a wolf hunting a fox, doesn't happen often but it does when times are tough or there's nothing else.

[@bkjeong4302]

@@theblazingredcomet1954 The video said adult Acrocanthosaurus would especially be prying on Deinonychus when the size difference is way too much to make that profitable; it would be the juveniles, not the adults, that would be a threat to Deinonychus.
