Acrocanthosaurus was a relative of Allosaurus, but with a spine running down from its neck all the way down to its tail. Nobody knows why that spine was there. It could have been there to help it warm up. But that theory does not really make sense, since the large dinosaurs would have been warm-blooded. Others say it was there to house more muscle. That theory makes more sense, because Acrocanthosaurus was hunting sauropods, and it takes a lot of muscle to take down a sauropod. Acrocanthosaurus was probably stalking its prey like a tiger, because paleontologists had once found the tracks of an Acrocanthosaurus behind the tracks of a sauropod called Paluxysaurus. The Acrocanthosaurus most likely made the kill at the end.
