Giganotosaurus: Why It Isn't A Dinosaur All Star

I think that is deserves a lot of attention. 50 feet and 9.5 tons in my book. Giganotosaurus, Ceratosaurus, and Yangchuanosaurus really deserve more attention.

Yeah i agree ever since i first found out about Giganotasaurus it has been one of my favorites it really does deserve waaay more attention. i agree with the size estimates i see it being 43 - 45.5 feet and around 9 tons

It was starting to overshadow T. rex in the way that it was getting more press than the king himself. Most people remember this classic late 90's image after they look at it [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dTpJ1-us2_Q/UCr3v1fy7QI/AAAAAAAABfA/DsCa4wLWVDA/s640/T-rex_vs_gigantosaurus.jpg[/img] T. rex was much smaller on average (37-39 vs 43-46 feet) and Giganotosaurus was on the rise as the new king. Suddenly, Spinosaurus came on the scene, dwarfing T. rex and Giganotosaurus out of no where . However, the change was too sudden and started a whole new debate on whether Spino could beat rex, shattering the Giganotosaurus vs Tyrannosaurus debate. Think about it- --Spinosaurus is everything Giga was and more. Bigger than Giga, way longer arms, bigger skull, longer teeth, better vision, etc. Giga was simply outclassed before it made it to safety. Spino is the bad guy, but he's becoming a good guy or rather antihero since people are warming up to him. You wouldn't guess it from the ratio of fans here, but here: [url=http://carnivoraforum.com/topic/9327489/1/]CLICK HERE[/url] Spino fans are on the up and up from just a month ago, when it was 40-60. Giga already passed Rex [url=http://carnivoraforum.com/topic/9371601/1/]HERE[/url] They both are happening on the same site. Giga is on the rise, as well as Spinosaurus. I see Giga coming up to fame pretty soon. Spino beats Giga on the site as well: [url=http://carnivoraforum.com/topic/9327493/1/]CLICK[/url]

Giganotosaurus is a giant blood thirsty sauropod-killing machine, it really deserves more attention. But it will remain unknown to the general public until they won't made it famous with a major documentary or a film with the proportions of Jurassic Park.

I agree with most of what you guys said. Not all, but most ;) A deadly killing machine in the same size class as Spinosaurus and Tyrannosaurus certainly deserves a little attention from the general public.

I agree with this, T-Rex has had the floor for to long,believe me I love T-Rex but now it's losing the floor to Spino and Giga,it's there time to shine

Giga is cool no doubt, it's one of my favorite theropods/dinosaurs but the problem with it is that it's too similar to T-Rex, I mean sure it's bigger as far as length and height goes and it does have 3 fingers instead of two but do you think the general public is going to know that? I don't think so, I think that's also why it's been overshadowed a bit, at least with Spino you could tell that it was a different carnivore because of the snout, longer arms and trademark spine sticking out of it's bad. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing Giga in a none jurassic park film in the future. P.S. T-Rex will ALWAYS be the King for reasons that I could explain again as usual but I'll give it a break for now lol.

To us dino freaks, the difference between Giganotosaurus and rex are like night and day, of course, they are small and unknown to real people. It still deserves more attention.

i think that if they dont put the giga in the next jp they do the biggest mistake. and i do some size estimanations that i post in this site,but now i add a picture too comparated to Scott Hartman's MUCPv-97:[img]http://imageshack.us/a/img266/7223/6671.jpg[/img]
