Giganotosaurus
Click here for more Giganotosaurus Pictures
Giganotosaurus was a carnivorous (meat-eating) dinosaur
that lived in Argentina
during the late Cretaceous period.
between approximately 93 to 89 million
years ago.
Giganotosaurus was up to 43 feet (13.2 meters) long,
and the largest animals probably weighed approximately 6.2 tons.
Fossils of
the giant
Sauropod dinosaur,
Titanosaurus, have been found near
Giganotosaurus, and it is therefore thought likely that Giganotosaurus
would have preyed on these herbivores.
There is also evidence that dinosaurs in the same family as Giganotosaurus
were pack hunters, and as a result, it seems probable that Giganotosaurus was
too.
Giganotosaurus has a number of noteable features. These include:
- Although larger than Tyrannosaurus rex,
Giganotosaurus only has a brain about half the size.
- Giganotosaurus has shorter and narrower teeth than
Tyrannosaurus rex, and these teeth
are particularly well adapted for slicing flesh.
- The brain of Giganotosaurus has a well-developed olfactory region, and the animal probably therefore
had a very good sense of smell.
- Recent research suggests that Giganotosaurus may have been a fast runner, perhaps capable of speeds
in excess of 30 miles per hour (14 meters per second).
Giganotosaurus was a carnivore (meat-eater) that lived from 93 to 89 million years ago
