The Dinosaur - Giganotosaurus

It's hard to believe but the famous T.Rex, King of the Carnivores, was not the biggest meat-eating dinosaur to ever live!

A fellow called Giganotosaurus takes that title. This massive meat-eater was about 5 feet longer than T.Rex and weighed an incredible 8 tonnes.

Giganotosaurus Skeleton Although Giganotosaurus was bigger, T.Rex was still thought to be the stronger of the two and definitely the smarter. Giganotosaurus had a brain the size of a cucumber!
