Giganotosaurus is another of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs. However, its exact size is difficult to calculate because we only have fragmentary remains of this predator. Some estimates suggest it was about the same size as Tyrannosaurus rex, another famous Cretaceous carnivore that lived millions of years later.
Giganotosaurus was discovered in what is now Argentina. It may have hunted giant sauropods such as Argentinosaurus. Another titanosaur predator and a close relative of Giganotosaurus, Quesaurus was thought to be only slightly smaller.
