Acrocanthosaurus

Acrocanthosaurus was an allosaurid theropod dinosaur of the early Cretaceous period in North America, with a particularly tall spine column, giving it a similar appearance to the spinosaurids of the same time period. Unlike spinosaurids, who were riverine hunters with semi-aquatic hunting behaviors, Acrocanthosaurus was a heavy built predator that preferred slow moving prey and carrion over other meat. Foot prints of Acrocanthosaurus can be seen publicly in Glen Rose, Texas. A complete skeleton is on display in Idabel, Oklahoma.

Jurassic Park inspired games

 * Acrocanthosaurus is a playable dinosaur in the game, Warpath: Jurassic Park. It has the same moves as the Tyrannosaurus rex and Cryolophosaurus have. It has 3 colors: green, brown, and white-orange.


 * Acrocanthosaurus has appeared in Jurassic Park Institute Tour: Dinosaur Rescue, where it provided a JP logo bonus score for the player Velociraptor in the fifth minigame, Take Meat.


 * Acrocanthosaurus appears in Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, as a four-star large carnivore. It is often used in carnivore dominance duels, in which the character playing the game pits two large carnivores against each other in a high-stakes fight over territory. Females, at least, are highly territorial. Acrocanthosaurus can coexist and become friendly with another 4-star carnivore, Carcharodontosaurus, as shown on its page. This maybe because both Acrocanthosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus are carcharodontosaurids.


 * Acrocanthosaurus is a carnivore three that can be created in Jurassic Park III: Park Builder.


 * Acrocanthosaurus is featured in the DVD game Jurassic Park: Explorer. A player earns a dinosaur when he/she wins a minigame, when the earned dinosaur is an Acrocanthosaurus this video will be shown.
