Gigantosaurus is a poorly known herbivorous dinosaur, and is not to be confused with Giganotosaurus. Giganotosaurus is the third largest carnivorous dinosaur known, behind Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus.
That is the correct spelling of "gigantosaurus" (a very large sauropod dinosaur). *Confusingly, there is also a "giganotosaurus" (a carcharodontosaurid, or carnivorous dinosaur)
Spinosaurus has had many misleading interpritations (such as in Jurassic park and more recently, primeval). Giganotosaurus was the largest carnivorous dinosaur (spinosaurus was actually just a scavanger and much smaller than a t-rex)
· Gigantosaurus
it can be spinosaurus giganotosauru or carcharodonthosaurus
Some scientists say Spinosaurus, but most say that Giganotosaurus was the biggest theropod.
The largest carnivorous dinosaur that ever lived on earth was "Giganotosaurus." The largest is "liopleurodon." The largest carnivores ever lived on earth are- 1) Spinosaurus aegiptiacus 2) Gigantosaurus carolini 3) Tyrannosaurus rex The largest of all definitely is "liopleurodon"
15 to 17 metres
No. Spinosaurus was the largest known carnivorous dinosaur, but some of the herbivores, particularly the sauropods, where much larger.
· Gigantosaurus
The largest carnivore found so far is a mystery. Although Tyrannosaurus is the smartest, strongest and quickest of all large carnivorous dinosaurs, it wasn't the largest. Some dinosaur experts say Giganotosaurus is the biggest of all flesh-eating dinosaurs. Others think Mapusaurus is the biggest. Recent discoveries show that the North American Saurophagonax is the worlds biggest dinosaurium carnivore. Most people agree that Spinosaurus holds the new record
Gigantosaurus, a large theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period, is believed to have been a solitary predator, similar to other large carnivorous dinosaurs. Its behavior likely involved stalking and ambushing prey, utilizing its size and speed to hunt effectively. Evidence suggests it may have been a scavenger as well, feeding on carrion when opportunities arose. Additionally, Gigantosaurus may have exhibited territorial behaviors to assert dominance over its hunting grounds.
The largest known carnivorous dinosaur was Spinosaurus, with weight estimates ranging from 7 to 20 tons. Runners-up include Carcharodontosaurus, Giganotosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus.
