The Late Cretaceous was home to some crazy, theropods that would make any predator today look like chumps. However, 30 million years before the world unlocked the Tyrannosaurus, a theropod emerged in South America that was crazy, even for theropod's standards, the Giganotosaurus!

I adore Giganotosaurus. It’s a shame it’s always compared to T. rex when it’s such a cool animal in its own right, but such is the plight of giant theropods, I suppose.

I remember when Giga was first discovered everyone was making a big deal about how it was "bigger" than T rex. Then came the absurd Spinosaurus size estimates, which ultimately led to the abomination that was Jurassic Park 3. I'm not sure how much of that hype was from the media or the paleontologists themselves, but unfortunately fossil discoveries aren't enough to interest the general public on their own. There's gotta be some kind of controversy.

T- Rex is just a pop culture icon on top of being a cool Dinosaur. It is hard to compete with that kind of status. T- Rex is king at this point less for its natural attributes and more for it being the one Dinosaur a kid can name off the top of their heads much less an adult.

T. Rex was basically a tank buster, built to break and crush the many powerful weapons of ornithischian dinosaurs. Giganotosaurus, on the other hand, was a giant slayer. It was lighter and thinner than T. rex but that would have made it faster and its specialized neural spines and teeth turned it's head into basically a sword compared to T. Rex's hydraulic crusher head. Giga was basically Captain Levi, speeding towards behemoths almost ten times its own size and cutting them down with slice after slice from its jaws. Truly far from inferior from a T. Rex, in fact one could say that they were each their own special kind of legend.

Giga´s spines probably were asociated with a back and core muscles that were both massively strong and flexible, not only to back up its bite but also to resist the defensive side blows of the giant sauropods and the eventual falls from that wrestling, also better to rise up again fast. This adaptation to wrestle huge sauropods were also backed by a croc-like osteoderm skin that was observed in other S.American Charcharodontosaurus and likely could absorb many blows, unlike the softer skin of the Rex, which compensated with a breastplate to protect organs against attacks from bellow that its prey´s horns, spikes and mace tails could deliver.

Giganotosaurus in particular and the giant Carcharodontosaurids as a whole are in the unfortunate position of being fairly well known in the paleo community yet at the same time being quite underrated and overshadowed by the later Tyrannosaurines. In the worst cases, they are said to be inferior to the latter group for lacking their bone crushing bite, superb sense of sight and robustness (that last point is mainly in comparison to Tyrannosaurus rex not Tyrannosaurines as a whole) However, I’d argue that (as with most cases of animals being compared in this way), neither group of apex giant theropods was superior and were each superbly adapted to their niche and lifestyles. Tyrannosaurines were built for attacking bony prey of similar size to themselves, oftentimes equipped with armor and horns, using their powerful jaws and thick spike like teeth to puncture, grip, and tear, like hyenas do. The giant Carcharodontosaurids on the other hand, as their name implies, had teeth like sharks, laterally compressed, and serrated front and back. Their skulls were similarly streamlined and their tooth rows are straight and parallel, allowing them to act like saw blades, with each tooth playing the role of a serration. So what powered these jaws? For one, their bite, while weaker than that of Tyrannosaurines, was nothing to scoff at, if simply by virtue of their size. An 8 ton Carcharodontosaurus had an estimated bite force comparable to a 5 ton Tarbosaurus. More importantly however was their powerful neck and back musclulature and ligaments strapped to enlarged neural spines. They also had adaptations of the skull and neck that facilitated a great degree of lateral motion and head stabilization, which would’ve allowed them to precisely track and strike at critical spots on prey. Once they sunk their teeth in, the aforementioned muscular pulley system of their necks and back would’ve allowed them to rock their heads in a craniocaudal motion with tremendous force, each stroke driving their long serrated teeth deeper through skin, flesh and ligaments, allowing them to carve out massive slices from prey. So what were these Carcharodontosaurids hunting? Well, based on the fact that their biting mechanism was supremely adapted for carving big slices from softer targets, it seems reasonable to assume they went for large fleshy prey, such as the numerous Sauropods that often coexisted with them. In the case of Giganotosaurus, this would include various Titanosaurs and Rebbechisaurids. It might be hunting an Andesaurus, a small Titanosaur, using its slicing bite to cut into the area at base of the tail, slightly behind the legs, which might serve to: 1) sever the M. caudofemoralis, the most important locomotory muscle in any non avian dinosaur; 2) Cut through the caudal and/or femoral artery, inducing rapid shock through blood loss; 3) rupture the abdominal cavity for easier access to the viscera.

It is important to note that the Giga specimen mentioned isn't put together by a real paleontologist. That means the spacing in the bones are not necessarily accurate. Many have stated that the specimen is a little too long. Which makes sense, considering the man who put it together wanted the fame that comes with a mega therapod. That being said, Scotty is 43.5 ft long making him longer than this Giga specimen. Which is pretty considerable when you take into account that the Rex had a shorter tail and skull than a comparable Giga. The teeth from the unknown Giga are very inconsistent for determining size. We can't actually scale off of them. If you look into the T. Rex known as Cope, you'd see we have a femur that is far larger than Scotty. The best part? Femurs are known to directly correlate to the size of a therapod. In other words, Cope completely shatters what we consider a 'large Rex' by today's standards. Scotty was around 20,000 pounds vs Cope at over 25,000.

Spinosaurus had denser bones. And dense boned animals tend to be heavier. Elephants, rhinos, sauropods had extremely dense bones. Spinosaurus also had extremely dense bones much more so than rex and giga. Spinosaurus could have been the heaviest. Especially since the 2014 short legged spino was debunked and is likely a different species to stromers spinosaurus.

No, largest is not reserved for mass in science, that would be largest mass. "Largest" can mean all kinds of different things which is why it's rarely used in science. And also, Giga is about as heavy as T. Rex. We don't have a good estimate of Giga because there's really only one complete specimen. For T. Rex we have like 50. That means we have a far better picture of for T. Rex's weight than for Giga's. Giga could very well be heavier.

Because of how there's a debate on how the first 'g' is pronounced ([ʤ] or [j]), I went down a rabbit hole. According to the english language it should be [j] because the first 'g' is followed up by 'i', however there's exceptions to this rule, such as the prefix Giga, but not gigantic. So the way it is named, 'Giganotosaurus'; it could be either at first glance. The name is "derived from the Ancient Greek words 'gigas' (giant), 'notos' (austral/southern), and 'sauros' (lizard). Therefore the 'giga' is seperate from the 'notos', and it isn't derived from 'gigantas', meaning in English it probably wouldn't follow the pronounciation set by "gigantic" but would rather follow the pronounciation set by the prefix "giga". Basically, if you've been pronouncing the first 'g' as [j], you're unfortunately wrong. Even if it was an educated guess.

Can't we change how to correctly say the word, though? Words change over time, so it isn't possible to just make giga be pronounced as "jiga" to make the word easier to say. I have a speech impediment and saying "jiga" is easier to me than saying "giga". I kinda hate you know for making the tougher way of saying it the correct way. Why does it matter if it was pronounced differently at the beginning? People pronounce Adolf Hitler as "a"dolf Hitler, even though it's correctly pronounced "uh"dolf Hitler, but we made the "a"dolf one the correct one because it sounds cooler.

One of my favorte therapods of all time. What I found quite remarkable about Giggy is that it essentially lived in some cool desert, which had a yearly average tempreture of just about 16'C and no humidity for most the year (Meaning at night you get that real drop in tempreture as there would be few clouds to blanket in the day's warmth). Sounds positively horrible. I can just imagine my boy Giggy on a cold winters morning hunched up behind anything to break the cold southerly breeze, trying to bask in the first rays of the winter sun's feeble warmth.

Giant charcharodontosaurs are so cool because they’re specifically adapted for hunting the largest land animals of all time. T. rex is a fascinating animal (with possibly the best vision and bite force of any animal ever!), but its preferred prey were the mightiest ornithischians of the era, rather than the living kaiju that were sauropods. Also, T. rex is an outlier among tyrannosaurs, while Giganotosaurus is the peak of charcharodontosaur development, and a much better representative of its clade as a whole. They’re both cool animals, but I think the titan-slayers are my favorite.

The giganotosaurus holotype was about 12.4-12.7 meters depending on the estimates used. That is longer then every semi complete t rex specemin but scotty, clearly indicating that on average, giganotosaurus was longer. If we are throwing in cope, then the giganotosaurus paratype is 13.2-13.5, higher then Scotty or cope, and as such longer then any t rex specimen. So, both on average, and at max, giganotosaurus was longer.

That gives an average length of 13.1 meters and an average height of 3.6 meters between the two specimens. Giganotosaurus' head height would be closer to 4 meters but not its hip. Very close to Tyrannosaurus with the largest specimen of Tyrannosaurus being BHI 6248 which was 12.87-13.13 meters and about 11.7-12 tonnes.

If we get the average weight of those two, Giga could have been a bit bigger indeed. We have more than 30 described adult specimens of T. Rex (35 or 36 I think), from 10.6m to maybe 12.7-13m (if we count BHI cope as an animal with standard proportions) and weights from 5.500kg to maybe 11.000kg. But average is arround 11.7m and 7.000 kg. We have three arround 9.000kg or more, so only 10% of them were that big. And those three were specially massive compared to others. In the other hand we have just two Giganotosaurus specimens (with the second one being very fragmentary), between 12.4m and 13m, weighting arround 7.300kg and +8.200kg respectively (scalling MUCPV-95 proportionaly to the holotype, which is totally uncertain, it could have been even bigger than that or just as big as the holotype or even less). So, basically we have two giant terophods moving in the same scale, with Giga being a bit longer and taller in average and very similar to Tyrannosaurus in body mass. Internet is allways doing the wrong comparison.

No, as for why it became extinct, my theory is that it became extinct due to its own success.

@@roguetheoutlander8800 Tyrannosaurus Rex had WAY better eyesight simply due to having perfect binocular vision, Giganotosaurus didn't due to the design of its skull. And 3 ton bite is NOTHING compared to a Rex, you're talking about an 11 ton carnivore with a 6 ton bite force minimum. And no, it probably wasn't much faster than a Rex either because in nature, an animal only has to be as fast or slightly faster than its prey. Sauropods are NOT fast. Celeurosaurids were also MUCH more advanced in overall design and brain power due to being more advanced than the allosaurian carnosaurs like Giganotosaurus. New studies have also shown Tyrannosaurus was also much more agile than Giganotosaurus due to hunting Triceratops and also again, being a Celeurosaur. Tyrannosaurus also had the VASTLY superior sensory array than Giganotosaurus Ever did. Not only tha, Tyrannosaurus also more than likely was much more adaptive as a predator able to adapt to multiple types of prey including Sauropods like Alamosaurus.

Mapu would be lucky to get past 7 tons and more like over 5 tons and Giga around 7 tons or a little more. Unlike T-Rex they didn't have that heavy of a build.

T-rex was more advanced than Giganotosaurus. T-rex has much bigger brain, with superb binocular vision. T-rex vs. Giganoto = orka vs. white shark.

no such thing as more advanced, theyre both just adapted to hunt different prey item at the time. T-Rex in north america hunting armored prey like hadrosaur, ceratopsian and ankylosaurs, while Giga in south america hunting large sauropods which is a completely different beast than what the T-Rex usually tackle

@@richie_0740 Yes, they are both adopted to hunt different prey item at the time. Sauropods had a passive defense of their size. And the triceratops had active protection, their horns. The T-rex was adapted for intense close combat, for which it needed better abilities, such as a larger brain or better spatial vision or a more efficient structure of the metatarsal bones for better power transmission. Hollower bones for a better strength/weight ratio, probably with a more efficient airbag system. Modern birds were more advanced than Jurassic or Cretaceous birds. The T-rex was also more advanced than previous giant theropods.

@@kittenworld87 thats not how evolution worked buddy, modern birds arent more "advanced" than cretacoeus birds, but get back to the topic, T-Rex is the way it is cause of the evolutionary pressure it faced on the enviroment, this animal was designed to kill a similar sized prey quickly with just one crushing bite, hence it needed that strong jaw. Giga on the other hand were designed to hunt sauropods, sauropods cannot be killed with just one bite, hence its more narrow jaw shape and knife like teeth designed to kill through blood loss If we were to switch the two predator with each other, the T-Rex would struggle to survive in the candeleros, restricting itself to hunt smaller, more agile sauropods since the big ones are just too large to be killed with one bite, similarly if we put giganotosaurus in the hells creek formation it would struggle too, since there are no sauropod found there, and it wont risk itself fighting animals like ankylosaurs, giga wouldve been restricted to hunt only the huge edmontosaurus due to its size being most similar to contemporary medium sized sauropod occasionally it might also go for ceratopsian as long as the giga can avoid its horns

T.Rex and Giga fair comparison: If we get the average weight of those two, Giga could have been equal or a bit bigger indeed. We have more than 30 described adult specimens of T. Rex (35 or 36 I think), from 10.6m to maybe 12.7m (if we count BHI cope as an animal with standard proportions despite that strange femur-tibia ratio) and weights from 5.500kg to maybe 11.000kg. But average is arround 11.7m and 7.000 kg. We have three arround 9.000kg or more, so only 10% of them were that big. And those three were specially massive compared to others. In the other hand we have just two Giganotosaurus specimens (with the second one being very fragmentary), between 12.4m and 13m, weighting arround 7.300kg and +8.200kg respectively (scalling MUCPV-95 proportionaly to the holotype, which is totally uncertain, it could have been even bigger than that or just as big as the holotype or even less). So, basically we have two giant terophods moving in the same scale, with Giga being a bit longer and taller in average and very similar to Tyrannosaurus in body mass. With only two Giganotosaurus found, and using probability where most of the individuals are close to the average size, and a litttle amount are way smaller or bigger, it's fair to asume that they probably were not small or specialy big animals, so we count them as average. I really want to see more of those being discovered. Internet is allways doing the wrong comparison using Sue's or Scotty's size as reference.

Nah, fanboys are always exaggerating the mass of Giga. The most reliable estimate for the largest Giga is around 7700kg, which is a little bit less than Stan who's considered to be the average T Rex. Even though Stan is way shorter than that Giga, the bulk difference is just too great man...

I don’t think giga was a pack hunter cuz it would probably be found with other members and more common. Mapu was found together and probably was just a pack hunting giga. While giga was a solitary large version of mapu. Still don’t believe the whole speed walking theory. Giga was fast for its size imo. Nd u think Rex speed estimates are lower than they should be. I bet they just took huge bounding steps covering ground very quickly, wouldn’t really call that a speed walk more like sprints.

I love the most known unknowns of the theropod dinosaur groups. Acrocanthosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Tyranotitan, Saurophaganax, Carcharodontosaurus, Mega raptor, Utahraptor, etc. I'm more of a huge fan of the Abelisaurids, Ceratosaurids, and Allosauridae seeing it is they were more exotic ntm complex than the well known North American species. Even today, animals become more exotic and tend to contain many different flourishing species the further they're found south. As for northern species, my favorites are the Allosauridae, Utah Raptor, Torvosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, and Deinonychus to name a few.
