Giganotosaurus lived 97 million years ago in what is now Argentina. At the time the area had braided river system, and the local plants would have included conifers, cycads, ferns, horsetails, ginkgoes, and a few very primitive flowering plants. Other dinosaurs that shared this habitat include the sauropods (giant, long necked herbivores) Limaysaurus, Nopcsaspondylus, and Andesaurus, and these may have been prey animals for Giganotosaurus. There were also iguanodonts, relatives of Iguanodon, that definitely would have been prey for the Giganotosaurus. Other predatory dinosaurs that lived here include Ekrixinatosaurus, a 33 to 36 foot long abelisaur, Buitreraptor, a rooster sized dromaeosaur, Bicentenaria, an 8 to 10 foot long carnivore, and Alnashetri.

First, let's get the name right: It's not "Giganto"-saurus, it's "Giga - noto - saurus."

"Giga" means big, or if you prefer, REALLY big. "Noto" means "southern" (there was already a creature named Notosaurus; it was much smaller) and "saurus" of course, means "lizard" [Even though the dinosaurs WEREN'T lizards, the namers THOUGHT they were, and by now it's traditional.]

So we have "Great Southern Lizard" and sure enough, he lived in what is now South America.

Giganotosaurus was discovered in the 1990s. Bones were discovered in 1993 but it was not until 1995 when a full skeleton was discovered and the finding was confirmed.

Can gigonotosaurus win a fight against allosaurus?

Giganotosaurus was 43 feet long and weighed somewhere between 6.5 and 14 tons. Allosaurus was 32 feet long maximum and weighed somewhere between 1 and 4.5 tons. Thus, Giganotosaurus was far larger, and thus the only hope for an Allosaurus fighting a Giganotosaurus would be to flee. Note that Allosaurus never would have encountered Giganotosaurus, as the former died out about 53 million years before the latter evolved, and they didn't even live on the same continents.
