Size comparisons

[AndresVida]

Since Dan Folkes updated his Giganotosaurus skeletal, I'm making a size comparison with it! Holotype Rex vs Holotype Giga.

I used Giganotosaurus and Tyrannosaurus because regarding Holotypes these theropod species do overlap in size (not if we consider the largest Tyrannosaurus specimens but still). Same reason why I didn't include Spinosaurus, at 3.7 tons the Holotype s. aegyptiacus doesn't match the sizes of these two hypercarnivores

As the claim that this tyrannosaur's rib cage was too wide and that the weight was too high, it turns out that the true weight was even slightly higher than Franoys' initial estimate of about 400 kg.
Some people have tried and are still belittling this estimate made by a paleoartist, even claiming that the rib cage is too wide, but as the reasonable paleoartist RandomDinos personally replied on discord a few days ago:

Therefore, I advise anyone who reads these claims not to consider them, they are so unfounded
P.S Soon I could update the size comparison between Giganotosaurus Holotype compared to even bigger Sue, but I will probably make other comparisons
