Prehistoric Breakdown: Acrocanthosaurus

The peace of multiple species has been established but some thing is about to change with the regions top predator.
Today we breakdown one of the largest carnivores ever, Acrocanthosaurus.

I like it, a nice big predator Dino that has it's own look that makes it standout from the rest. Thank you for doing a video of it.

I feel s blessed to live just a couple hours from Dinosaur Valley in Glenrose, TX and able to see his tracks.

Appropriately, the Houston Museum of Natural Science has a cast of one on display in their massive Paleontology hall opposite a Deinonychus.

Well done. Do you think Acro could beat up a trex? I ask becauae Acro fed of of tbe big BIG boys... Trex fed off of tanks. Since predators and prey are in an arms race, whos prey was more dangerous? 50 tonne sauropods? Or Triceratops and Ankylosaurus? Do you think maybe the prey they hunted dictates how badass they really were? If im even a little corredt..... who you think would win between T-Rex and Acro

[@raptorrex3954]

My short answer is I think T-Rex would win as it is both larger and heavier and it also has a stronger bite force. Although Acro would give it a damn good fight.

That's not real Acrocanthosaurus skeleton

I doubt that Acro could bring down a fully grown and healthy sauropod.

My problem is: Where are pawpawosaurus and borealopelta? Borealopelta lived with pawpawosaurus and pawpaw lived 111 million to 99 million years ago in Texas, if borealopelta has been preyed on by Acrocanthosaurus then it should have been with borealopelta. I think borealopelta has been preyed on by a different predator for the reason, that Acrocanthosaurus live 113 million years ago to 110 million years ago. The Albian stage was 113 to 100.5 million years ago it could have been living after Acrocanthosaurus. Plus who were the ancestors of borealopelta, like who evolved to borealopelta?

[@Bagelgeuse]

The only Borealopelta fossil was found in Canada, so what the heck would it be doing in Texas with Pawpawsaurus?

[@gngineer6129]

@RKaale I don't know, but people still say that borealopelta lived with Acrocanthosaurus and pawpawosaurus. I don't know why they think that, considering that most of borealopelta's existence was found in Canada. I just don't know why people keep thinking that.
