Acrocanthosaurus, the High Spined Lizard

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Stephen Curro discuss Acrocanthosaurus, perhaps the biggest and meanest predator before the mighty rex ever took its first stomp. From the Early Cretaceous, this 38-foot carcharodontosaurid was roughly the size of T. rex, had the spine of Spinosaurus, and the overall body shape of a Giganotosaurus, making it the ultimate amalgamation of the bad guy dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park franchise, and it’s not even a hybrid! Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.
