Giganotosaurus lived about 90 - 100 million years ago
... in the Upper Cretaceous in Argentina. It was similar to Tyrannosaurus Rex, a bipedal walking predatory dinosaur. However, Giganotosaurus was larger and heavier than a Tyrannosaurus Rex, with a length of 13 metres and a weight of 6-7 tonnes. It also had longer arms and three fingers on each hand. Researchers believe that Giganotosaurus could run up to 14 metres per second. The name - Giganotosaurus - is made up of the words gigas (giant), notos (south) and sauros (lizard). Giganotosaurus is therefore a giant lizard from the south. The figure is naturalistically hand-painted. The lower jaw of the figure can be moved, so Giganotosaurus can grip well when hunting prey.
