Argentinosaurus

Let’s get it!


A huge sauropod, Argentinosaurus,


lived alongside Giganotosaurus. It’s


thought this monster may have reached


43 m (140 ft) in length. So one 13.5 m


(45 ft) long Giganotosaurus couldn’t


have brought it down, but these


predators may have hunted in packs.

That’s some tooth!


Giganotosaurus had
large, serrated teeth for
stabbing and gripping
prey, and for slashing
through the meat. The
largest teeth were
about 20 cm (8 in)
in length.

Awesome arms
Giganotosaurus had larger and
more powerful forearms than
T. rex, and they were three-
fingered. They would have been
used to grasp prey and food.
