📋 About This Mod
I asked my Patreon followers which new species they would like to see this month;
The votes were counted and recounted, and we have ourselves a winner: Please welcome Saurophaganax!
Saurophaganax was the largest carnivore found in the Morrison Formation, bigger than both its contemporaries Torvosaurus and Allosaurus, reaching 13. 5 meters in length and 2. 7–3. 8 metric tons in body mass. The fossils known of Saurophaganax are known from the Brushy Basin Member, which is the latest part of the Morrison Formation, suggesting that this genus was either always uncommon or that it first appeared rather late in the Jurassic.
The identification of Saurophaganax is a matter of dispute. It has been described as its own genus, or as a species of Allosaurus: Allosaurus maximus. The most recent review of basal tetanurans in 2004 accepted Saurophaganax as a distinct genus. Possible Saurophaganax material from New Mexico may clear up the status of the genus.

Important Information:
- This mod requires ACSE. Download here.
- The rig is based on Acrocanthosaurus, so it is INDEED bigger than Allosaurus.
Translations available:
- US and UK English
Known bugs:
- Wrong icon in map view
Known glitches might be: crashing and dinosaurs not releasing from the hatchery, among other things.
Also important: you'll have to restart your game after entering the species viewer, every time. This is a current bug with new species in general and it might cause a crash or dinosaurs not releasing. Hunting animations may also be bugged as with all new species.
I hope you enjoy this and expect more good things to come! ACSE is required to make new species work in-game!
