Giganotosaurus-2

Giganotosaurus from Walking with Dinosaurs.

Giganotosaurus was a carcharodontosaurid theropod dinosaur from Late Cretaceous Patagonia.  It was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs.

In Walking with Dinosaurs

In the special `Land of Giants,` Giganotosaurus trashed Nigel Marven's tent.  All that we left was a little bit of meat and a tooth.  Giganotosaurus was seen waiting for an iguanodont to die of blood loss.  Nigel Marven came face to face with it and watched as it carried the iguanodont away to eat it.

When Nigel was chasing an iguanodont, an adult Giganotosaurus chased his car.  It eventually gave up and turned its attention to the herd of Argentinosaurus.  A whole pack started harassing the herd, trying to weed out juveniles and sick individuals.  The pack selected a young female Argentinosaurus to be their victim and started attacking her.  They then separated her from the rest of the herd.  As night came, the hunt be successful, though it was too dark to film and Nigel was glad about that.

Giganotosaurus got up and stared at him.  Just as it was about to attack him, Danny, who was in a helicopter, distracted the dinosaur.  Whilst Danny was distracting the Giganotosaurus, Connor drove to the anomaly and unlocked it.  Danny led the Giganotosaurus to the anomaly and went through.  He then returned and Connor locked the anomaly.

Errors

  • The Giganotosaurus is Primeval had pronated hands.  They couldn't pivot their arms in real life.  If they did, the arms would brake
  • The Primeval Giganotosaurus could outrun a truck.  In reality, it couldn't go faster than 20 mph.
