About Giganotosaurus

Slightly larger than T. rex and lived 30 million years earlier. Brain was smaller relative to body size compared to T. rex. May have hunted in packs to take down giant sauropods like Argentinosaurus. Had a narrower skull with blade-like teeth designed for slicing rather than crushing. Never met T. rex (different continents and time periods).
