Giganotosaurus (Giganotosaurus) is a species of theropod dinosaur that lived in the Late Cretaceous, about 97-93.5 million years ago, in what is now Argentina. The name "Giganotosaurus" means "giant lizard of the north." The species was discovered and described in 1995.

Giganotosaurus - interesting facts and information 

  1. Size: Giganotosaurus was one of the largest terrestrial predators that ever lived. It is estimated that adult specimens may have reached up to 12-13 meters in length, and some estimates suggest that they may have even grown up to 14 meters. Height at the hips is estimated at around 4 meters.
  2. Mass: Estimates of the weight of Giganotosaurus vary, but it is mostly assumed that it was about 6-8 tons.
  3. Body structure: Giganotosaurus had a long, slender body with powerful hind limbs, shorter front limbs ending in three toes and a long tail that helped with balance. The head was relatively long and slender with large, sharp teeth.
  4. Diet: As a theropod, Giganotosaurus was a predator. It probably hunted large sauropod dinosaurs such as Argentinosaurus.
  5. Behavior: Based on the discovery of traces of multiple Giganotosaurus individuals in one place, some scientists speculate that these dinosaurs may have lived in herds. However, this is a subject of debate and requires further research.
  6. Curiosity: Giganotosaurus is often confused with another large theropod - Tyrannosaurus. However, these dinosaurs lived at different times and on different continents - Tyrannosaurus was a typical Late Cretaceous dinosaur from North America, while Giganotosaurus lived slightly earlier in South America.

Note that the science of dinosaurs, called paleontology, is a dynamic field of research, and new discoveries can change our understanding of these prehistoric creatures.
