There is truly no mercy sometimes in the battlefield of science. From the Late Jurassic, this 38-foot theropod was still basically everything we assumed <em>Saurophaganax </em>to be and therefore just as cool in a practical sense, it just now lacks the kickass name and the individuality of its own genus, which ruins everything. Damn you, <em>A. anax</em>! This is officially my Pluto. </p><p><br></p><p>Want to further support the show?
