Giganotosaurus

In Real Life
Giganotosaurus was one of the largest known terrestrial carnivores, but the exact size has been hard to determine due to the incompleteness of the remains found so far. Estimates for the most complete specimen range from a length of 12 to 13 m (39 to 43 ft), a skull 1.53 to 1.80 m (5.0 to 5.9 ft) in length, and a weight of 4.2 to 13.8 t (4.6 to 15.2 short tons). The dentary bone that belonged to a supposedly larger individual has been used to extrapolate a length of 13.2 m (43 ft). Some researchers have found the animal to be larger than Tyrannosaurus, which has historically been considered the largest theropod, while others have found them to be roughly equal in size, and the largest size estimates for Giganotosaurus exaggerated. The skull was low, with rugose (rough and wrinkled) nasal bones and a ridge-like crest on the lacrimal bone in front of the eye. The front of the lower jaw was flattened, and had a downwards projecting process (or "chin") at the tip. The teeth were compressed sideways and had serrations. The neck was strong and the pectoral girdle proportionally small. Part of the family Carcharodontosauridae, Giganotosaurus is one of the most completely known members of the group, which includes other very large theropods, such as the closely related Mapusaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. Giganotosaurus is thought to have been homeothermic (a type of "warm-bloodedness"), with a metabolism between that of a mammal and a reptile, which would have enabled fast growth. It may have been relatively fast moving, with a calculated maximal running speed of 14 m/s (50 km/h; 31 mph). It would have been capable of closing its jaws quickly, capturing and bringing down prey by delivering powerful bites. The "chin" may have helped in resisting stress when a bite was delivered against prey. Giganotosaurus is thought to have been the apex predator of its ecosystem, and it may have fed on juvenile sauropod dinosaurs.

In Prehistory
Giganotosaurus is arguably the most fearsome and dangerous apex in Prehistory ever. With its lethal bleed and speed combined with the good turn radius, Giganotosaurus is very dangerous. It is recommended Giga players prey on large herbivores such as Edmontosaurus and Iguanodon as well as Triceratops players if careful, as well as Andesaurus for players looking for a challenge. Giganotosaurus has no particular counter, although an Ankylosaurus, Stegosaurus or Argentinosaurus would have a fair shot at killing a Giga.

Size wise, Giganotosaurus is a tad larger than Rex and shorter than Spinosaurus. Prior to its release, Giga was promised by the developers to be a counter to the Tyrannosaurus rex, which remains true now that is has been released. Although a large Giganotosaurus pack could potentially give an Argentinosaurus a fair fight, it is not recommended that Giga players hunt Ankylosaurus and Triceratops as their great defense counters Giga's bleed very well, which is Giga's best attribute. In comparison to the previous Carcharodontosaurus, Giganotosaurus is slightly more durable, but slightly less of a bleeder. As mentioned PaleoScript, the lead developer of the game, as a T. rex's greatest threat, in which he also stated prior to Carcharodontosaurus' removal, "To all those who liked Carcharodontosaurus' specialised hit and run gameplay, Giganotosaurus will do you all justice."

The reason for Carcharodontosaurus' removal was because the developers felt that Carcharodontosaurus and Giganotosaurus wouldn't coexist properly, and in the words of PaleoScript, "Whilst Carcharodontosaurus originally would be free alongside Giganotosaurus, two apex bleeders would simply be unfair and could negatively effect Prehistory's current ecosystem." Thus leading to the replacement of Carcharodontosaurus with Giganotosaurus.
