Acrocanthosaurus

Acrocanthosaurus atokensis was a large species of theropod that lived during the early Cretaceous period 116-110 mya. It was one of the largest theropods at 11.5 metres long and weighing about 6.2 tons. Acrocanthosaurus was built with a bulky body because of the prey it has catch, sauropods. Acrocanthosaurus was so powerful it could take down sauropods twice it's own size. Acrocanthosaurus had no predators.
