This saurier measured about 33 cm (12.
5 in).
Giganotosaurus lived in the chalk plains of Argentina about 90 to 100 million years ago.
It resembled the Tyrannosaurus rex, a bipedal predatory predator.
However, Giganotosaurus was larger and heavier, measuring 13 meters (33 feet) long and weighing 6-7 tons.
It also had long arms and three fingers on each hand.
Its skull was high and narrow, about 1.
8 meters (6 feet) long.
Despite its size, the brain was small, probably no larger than a banana.
Researchers believe that the area of the brain responsible for the sense of smell was particularly well-developed.
They also believe that Giganotosaurus functioned at up to 14 meters per second (40 feet per second).
The name Giganotosaurus is derived from the Greek words gigas (giant), notos (Süden), and sauros (Echse).
Giganotosaurus is a giant lizard from the south.
