Giganotosaurus coloring pages

Giganotosuarus on the Prowl

Giganotosaurus was a huge Theropod dinosaur from South America.  It possibly was lighter than T. rex but it was also longer.  It had a weaker bite than T. rex because it specialized in biting the legs or sides of the huge prey species of monster sized dinos like Argentinosaurus and Patagotitan (seen in the backgroud).  The teeth on a T. rex are thick and shaped like bananas... they are teeth that were used for crushing bone.  The teeth on Giganotosaurus were knives for slicing into prey and getting a nice big bite.  IF the would or wounds became infected the giant Sauropod prey would die.  Also, possbily the prey could die from blood loss.  Giganotosaurus probably hunted in packs.  

As far as stats:  T. rex was 40 feet long or so.  T. rex weighed up to or around 32,000 lbs or a mass of 14,515 kg.  Giganotosaurus was up to 43 feet long and weighed something like 31,000 lbs or a mass of 14,61 kg.  

In a fight T. rex would have had the advantage because T. rex had a much more powerful bite.  The thing is though, T. rex and Giganotosaurus would have never met.  T. rex lived 63-65 million years ago and Giganotosuarus lived around 97-98 million years ago.  Plus T. rex lived in NORTH America and Giganotosaurus lived in SOUTH America.  

The pattern on the top Giganotosaurus isp loosely based on snake patterns I saw in Australia.

This second drawing is for younger kids to color.  In fact it is a quick drawing I did for my 2 year old grandson.  Remember that Theropods, like Giganotosaurus tended and raised their young.  So this is still a realistic scenario, even if the drawing is rather cartoony.  IF you want the baby to be female then you just add eyelashes to the chick's eye.  This is a cartooning trick.  .   . to make an animal a female just add larger eyelashes.   You might want to draw in the ground a little better.  I was experimenting with using a charcoal pen.
