Could the Reaper Leviathan survive the Late Cretaceous? Today we’re going to put the iconic monster from Planet 4546B into Earth’s deadliest ocean, the Western Interior Seaway of the Late Cretaceous, affectionately known to paleontologists as Hell’s Aquarium. You’ve seen plenty of Subnautica mixed with prehistoric shenanigans on this channel before, but now the alien monsters that Alterra is rightfully terrified of are coming to Earth. We’ll analyze the Reaper Leviathan’s ability to adapt to the Niobrara Formation, its new Home, as well as how reliably it can capture food and deal with native competitors, scoring each category from 1 to 10. Then we’ll dive into speculative evolution to see how the Reaper Leviathan could better adapt to the complex ecosystem of Hell’s Aquarium. Huge shoutout to @Mr_42-u who did the 3D models for these spec evo Reapers.

![Acrocanthosaurus Appreciation Day
Acrocanthosaurus atokensis is a gigantic carcharodontosaurid theropod from the Early Cretaceous of North America. It was nearly as big as famous giants like Mapusaurus and Giganotosaurus, but is underrated in paleontology culture. Lets explore what makes Acrocanthosaurus such an awesome dinosaur.
