The Only Theropod That Could Rival T.rex
Everyone thinks of the T.rex when largest theropod is tossed around. However, people tend to forget about the Giganotosaurus. The largest carnivorous dinosaur of the southern equator. We'll be going through its evolution, physiology, hunting, competitors and extinction! Sit back, relax and lets go through this case study.
