Tornadoes. Chicken-fried steak. Dinosaur bones. If you're associating the first two with Oklahoma but not the last one, then let us introduce you to Acrocanthosaurus atokensis. With powerful back legs, a giant mouth full of deadly teeth, and tiny little arms, it's not hard to see the resemblance to a slightly better known dinosaur—Tyrannasaurus Rex. One of the most-complete skeletons of the 40-foot-long Acrocanthosaurus atokensis was found in Atoka, less than twenty miles from Idabel's Museum of the Red River, which displays a skeletal recreation. Scientists think the acro was the fourth-biggest meat-eating dinosaur of the Mesozoic Era.
Correctly name one of the three species of meat-eating dinosaurs larger than Acrocanthosaurus atokensis and you could win a prize from Oklahoma Today.
