However, they thrived in the southern continents of Gondwana for a time, though little evidence of them is known by the Campanian stage of the Cretaceous, roughly 85 million years before present day. However, during the Late Cretaceous, they started dying out in Laurasia (the name for the ancient Northern Hemisphere), with the last Laurasian species, Shaochilong, being found in modern China. The family's earliest genus, Veterupristisaurus, evolved in Late Jurassic Tanzania and in the Early to Mid Cretaceous Carcharodontosaurids could be found in Africa, Europe, Asia and both North and South America. One of the largest terrestrial carnivorous dinosaurs ever discovered, Giganotosaurus is a member of the Carcharodontosauridae family, which evolved in the Late Jurassic and are related to genus such as Allosaurus. It was soon declared the largest theropod ever discovered, rivalling Tyrannosaurus in size, though Spinosaurus, a slightly larger theropod would soon be discovered and re-examined in the following years. A team led by Coria and funded by American Paleontologist Don Lessem uncovered roughly seventy percent of the animal. The discovery was officially recorded by paleontologist Rodolfo Coria in 1995. Giganotosaurus was originally discovered in 1993 by an amateur paleontologist, Reuben Carolini. Like other giant carnivores, it's a powerful animal and needs strong fences to contain it. Giganotosaurus is more tolerant of others of its own kind, and in contrast to Tyrannosaurus, will happily live in pairs. Giganotosaurus is a powerful and large predatory dinosaur, one of the largest in the park, with a distinctive long sloping face. The Giganotosaurus also developed a rivalry with the sanctuary's Tyrannosaurus, and the Tyrannosaurus would eventually kill the Giganotosaurus with the aid of a Therizinosaurus. Ī Giganotosaurus was the apex predator of the sanctuary created by BioSyn, and it attempted to kill Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, Ian Malcolm, Owen Grady, Claire Dearing, Maisie Lockwood, and Kayla Watts when they walked into its territory. This was later used, along with the DNA of numerous other species, to create the genetically modified superpredator known as the Indominus rex, which was responsible for the destruction of Jurassic World in 2015. While InGen was not known to have cloned Giganotosaurus for either Jurassic Park or Jurassic World, by 2012, the company had possession of the carnivore's genetic material.
