Giganotosaurus

Giganotosaurus is another of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs. However, its exact size is difficult to determine because we only have fragmentary remains of this predator. Some estimates suggest that it was about the same size as another famous Cretaceous carnivore, Tyrannosaurus Rex, which lived millions of years later.


Giganotosaurus has been discovered in what is now Argentina. It may have hunted giant sauropod dinosaurs such as Argentinosaurus. Another titanosaur predator and a close relative of Giganotosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, is believed to be only slightly smaller.
