The Giganotosaurus is one of the few creatures capable of taking down a Guardian such as the Broodmother by itself and as such much caution is needed when facing one.

The lowest estimates for an adult’s bite force are around 34.5 kilonewtons, he says, “which is twice as strong as the bite of a saltwater crocodile, the largest reptilian predator of today.” cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/Dinos/Corrupt/Giganotosaurus/Gigant_Character_BP_Corrupt.Gigant_Character_BP_Corrupt'" 500 0 0 35

Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. 25 (4): 888–896. doi: 10.1671/0272-4634(2005)025[0888:NIOTSO]2.0.CO;2. S2CID 85702490. In 1996, the paleontologist Paul Sereno and colleagues described a new skull of the related genus Carcharodontosaurus from Morocco, a theropod described in 1927 but previously known only from fragmentary remains (much of its fossils were destroyed in World War II). They estimated the skull to have been 1.60m (5ft) long, similar to Giganotosaurus, but perhaps exceeding that of the Tyrannosaurus "Sue", with a 1.53m (5ft) long skull. They also pointed out that carcharodontosaurs appear to have had the proportionally largest skulls, but that Tyrannosaurus appears to have had longer hind limbs. [9] In an interview for a 1995 article entitled "new beast usurps T. rex as king carnivore", Sereno noted that these newly discovered theropods from South America and Africa competed with Tyrannosaurus as the largest predators, and would help in the understanding of Late Cretaceous dinosaur faunas, which had otherwise been very "North America-centric". [10] In the same issue of the journal in which Carcharodontosaurus was described, the paleontologist Philip J. Currie cautioned that it was yet to be determined which of the two animals were larger, and that the size of an animal is less interesting to paleontologists than, for example, adaptations, relationships, and distribution. He also found it remarkable that the two animals were found within a year of each other, and were closely related, in spite of being found on different continents. [11] In a cage match, T. rex has several adaptations that might give it an edge over Giganotosaurus. But don’t place your bets yet. The bigger dinosaur could leverage its skill at hunting massive sauropods to take down a smaller-than-usual foe. Holtz agrees that it could be any dinosaur’s game, despite admitting professional and personal bias toward tyrannosaurs (when he was 3, he wanted to grow up to be one). “Both of them are big predators adapted to killing very large prey,” he says. “If either of them managed to get a good bite onto the other one first, they’re probably going to win.” What’s in a bite? a b c d e f g h i j k Coria, R. A.; Salgado, L. (1995). "A new giant carnivorous dinosaur from the Cretaceous of Patagonia". Nature. 377 (6546): 224–226. Bibcode: 1995Natur.377..224C. doi: 10.1038/377224a0. S2CID 30701725.In 2005 Therrien and colleagues estimated the relative bite force of theropods and found that Giganotosaurus and related taxa had adaptations for capturing and bringing down prey by delivering powerful bites, whereas tyrannosaurs had adaptations for resisting torsional stress and crushing bones. Estimates in absolute values like newtons were impossible. The bite force of Giganotosaurus was weaker than that of Tyrannosaurus, and the force decreased hindwards along the tooth row. The lower jaws were adapted for slicing bites, and it probably captured and manipulated prey with the front part of the jaws. These authors suggested that Giganotosaurus and other allosaurs may have been generalized predators that fed on a wide spectrum of prey smaller than themselves, such as juvenile sauropods. The ventral process (or "chin") of the lower jaw may have been an adaptation for resisting tensile stress when the powerful bite was delivered with the front of the jaws against the prey. [43] This one isn’t a genetic hybrid like the Indominus and the Indoraptor – it’s a scientifically-documented giant of the Late Cretaceous period. But like its scaly brethren, it’s none too pleased to find itself roaming around in the modern day. “I wanted something that felt like the Joker,” teases writer-director Colin Trevorrow of the Giga. “It just wants to watch the world burn.” As you’ll see in the above world-exclusive image from Empire’s upcoming Jurassic World Dominion blowout issue, the Giga is set to cause havoc for the film’s epic human cast – including returning World protagonists Claire ( Bryce Dallas Howard) and Owen Grady ( Chris Pratt); original Park trio Ian Malcolm ( Jeff Goldblum), Alan Grant ( Sam Neill), and Ellie Sattler ( Laura Dern); plus clone-girl Maisie (Isabella Sermon) and newcomer Kayla ( DeWanda Wise). Those reactions all happened in-camera from this animatronic Giga puppet, built to look and move like a real dinosaur. Coria, R. A.; Sagado, L. (1994).

Narrator: Look at the Giga under two types of lighting, and you can see changes in its skin color. But making this puppet look real was one thing. They also had to make it move realistically. John and David decided to match the mechanical skeleton inside the head with what a real Giganotosaurus would look like based on expertise from paleontologists.One of the features of theropod dinosaurs that has attracted most scientific interest is the fact that the group includes the largest terrestrial predators of the Mesozoic Era. This interest began with the discovery of one of the first known dinosaurs, Megalosaurus, named in 1824 for its large size. More than half a century later in 1905, Tyrannosaurus was named, and it remained the largest known theropod dinosaur for 90 years, though other large theropods were also known. The discussion of which theropod was the largest was revived in the 1990s by new discoveries in Africa and South America. [1] In their original description, Coria and Salgado considered Giganotosaurus at least the largest theropod dinosaur from the southern hemisphere, and perhaps the largest in the world. They conceded that comparison with Tyrannosaurus was difficult due to the disarticulated state of the cranial bones of Giganotosaurus, but noted that at 1.43m (4.7ft), the femur of Giganotosaurus was 5cm (2in) longer than that of " Sue", the largest known Tyrannosaurus specimen, and that the bones of Giganotosaurus appeared to be more robust, indicating a heavier animal. They estimated the skull to have been about 1.53m (5ft) long, and the whole animal to have been 12.5m (41ft) long, with a weight of about 6 to 8t (6.6 to 8.8 short tons).
