The Jurassic's Forgotten Apex Predator

By now, you should know the Allosaurus, thanks to Jurassic World and Walking With Dinosaurs, but you probably haven’t heard of the Torvosaurus. It rivaled the Allosaurus in size and ferocity and here's the kicker, it lived in the same place at the exact same time. It was truly a monstrous carnivore that terrorized prehistoric North America and Europe; unfortunately however, this heavyweight has not gotten as much attention as the Late Jurassic ‘King’, but definitely deserves it, though it has recently received a little bit of love, being featured in Dinosaur Revolution, showing that it could contend with fan favorites like Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus , and maybe even…Saurophaganax.
