Primeval: A Giganotosaurus Tribute

A Tribute to the Giganotosaurus of Primeval which features in the fourth episode of Series 4 on Primeval. This is the first large theropod dinosaur and the first dinosaur the team encounter after the death of Nick Cutter.
A Giganotosaurus partially appears through an Anomaly in an airport hangar and eats Nigel Marven. Then it turns its attention to the news reporters and the cameramen. The Giganotosaurus eats and kills most of them. Later it comes fully through the anomaly and attacks a Boeing 747 airplane. It also manages to corner most members of the team at different times. Connor goes to the extent of reffering to it as the G-rex. Eventually Danny Quinn distracts it with a helicopter which it then chases back through the anomaly. Though it picks up the last two reporters just before it goes through and burps it out on the other side. When Danny returns through the anomaly (minus the helicopter) he claims there is a whole herd heading to the anomaly but Connor locks it before they have the chance to get through.
Giganotosaurus is a genus of carcharodontosaurid dinosaur that lived 100 to 93 million years ago during the Cenomanian and the Turonian stages of the Mid Cretaceous Period. It is one of the largest known terrestrial carnivores, slightly larger than Tyrannosaurus, . Its fossils have been found in Argentina.
Giganotosaurus was larger than T. rex, but had a brain only about half as big as those of tyrannosaurids. Giganotosaurus was 49 to 52 feet long (15 to 16 meters). The teeth of Tyrannosaurus were longer and wider, but more variable in size. The teeth of Giganotosaurus were shorter, less variable and narrower than those of Tyrannosaurus, and were more adapted for slicing flesh as to a blade or knife. A well-developed olfactory region means that it probably had a good sense of smell. Its skull, although large, had a slender build.

Titanosaur fossils have been recovered near the remains of Giganotosaurus, leading to speculation that these carnivores may have preyed on the giant herbivores. Fossils of related carcharodontosaurids grouped closely together may indicate pack hunting, a behavior that could possibly extend to Giganotosaurus itself. Blanco and Mazzetta (2001) estimated that Giganotosaurus might have been capable of running at speeds up to 14 metres per second (31 mph).

Hey all you Dinotopia out there news flash there never were a such thing as Dinosaurs

[smka13]

@MissCedarbridge1 Hey bitch, news flash for you - the world is round... First of all, explain to me all the dinosaur fossils, knowledge, thesis which we've known not just since the 16th century but even down in Indian tribes and Chinese emperors regarded them as dragons. You just think that ppl made fossils out of plastic and put them in the ground? Explain how fossils are pure carbon, which also happens to be a fuel source for your bloody car, which also is uncovered all across the globe?
