Acrocanthosaurus atokensis is a genus of carcharodontosaurid dinosaur that existed in what is now North America during the Aptian and early Albian stages of the Early Cretaceous.

Acrocanthosaurus was a bipedal predator. As the name suggests, it is best known for the high neural spines on many of its vertebrae, which most likely supported a ridge of muscle over the animal's neck, back, and hips.

Ecology
Altogether,‭ ‬Acrocanthosaurus may have grabbed large prey such as sauropods like Sauroposeidon with its jaws and then latched onto it with its claws. ‭The neck vertebrae also interlocked together for greater rigidity which means that Acrocanthosaurus could hold onto large prey with its jaws without sustaining injury to the neck.

Behavior
Acrocanthosaurus behaves very similarly to other large carnivores. It requires a large amount of grassland and some forest in their enclosures in order to be content. Due to its high comfort threshold, Acrocanthosaurus can become easily agitated if its requirements are not met.
