Fossil remains are found in mainly in United states of Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming, a teeth attributed to acrocanthosaurus have been found as far east as maryland, suggesting a continent wide range.

Acrocanthosaurus is known for it's high neural spines on it's vertebrae which supported a ridge of muscle over the animal's back, neck and hips.

The forelimbs of Acrocanthosaurus did not make contact with ground and used for locomotion, they served a predatory function instead, possibly used to strangle it's prey from escaping.

Footprints possibly attributed to Acrocanthosaurus have been discovered in some parts of Texas county, it is impossible to identify which footprint it belongs to since there are fossils associated with it.

I did my best to draw the details and the angle, deciding to put the watermark on the top of it's tail, the background and the animal on this illustration makes the dinosaur feel like adventurous.
