About
Giganotosaurus was a massive predatory dinosaur from South America that grew longer and heavier than most meat-eating theropods.
This predator rivaled Tyrannosaurus rex in length, placing it among the largest meat-eating land animals ever discovered. Scientists know it mainly from an individual found in Argentina that had a skull measuring more than 5 feet (1.5 m) long. Because very few fossil specimens exist, researchers do not yet know the normal size difference between males and females.
From Wikipedia
Giganotosaurus is a genus of large theropod dinosaur that lived in what is now Argentina, during the Albian age of the Early Cretaceous period, approximately 111 to 106 million years ago. The holotype specimen was discovered in the Candeleros Formation of Patagonia in 1993 and is almost 70% complete.
