About Mapusaurus

A giant carcharodontosaurid found in a bonebed with at least seven individuals of different ages. The site is the strongest hint yet that some giant carnivores lived socially. Maybe even targeted the colossal Argentinosaurus that shared its habitat. Slightly smaller than its cousin Giganotosaurus.
