Meet the Giganotosaurus, one of the largest land predators to ever walk the Earth. Its name means “Giant Southern Lizard,” and this fearsome carnivore lived during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now South America. In sheer size, Giganotosaurus rivaled—and may even have exceeded—the famous Tyrannosaurus rex.
With its massive skull, razor-sharp teeth, long tail for balance, and powerful legs, Giganotosaurus was built for hunting large prey across open plains. Scientists believe it may have hunted in packs, making it an even more formidable predator. The Schleich® Giganotosaurus figurine captures this prehistoric powerhouse with impressive scale, lifelike textures, and a dynamic, action-ready pose that commands attention in both play and display.
