Bump

Parahelicoprion anyone? Largest Paleozoic predator (though the 100-foot estimate is wrong)

Patience, sire. Not all issues generate immediate responses.

On Giganotosaurus:

When I play Dino Crisis 2, the T-Rex seems to always found me on critical moment. Maybe something about partner of protagonists bust its right eye with rocket launcher.

Then this big-ass-motherfucker appears and casually snacking on said T-Rex.

Then I have to fight it in 2 boss stage. The first is survive until the bridge got connected. And none of my weapon can hurt it.

The 2nd boss fight is happened as the Final Boss fight. I have to survive, setting the Kill Sat, activating its targetting array, and then confirming the shooting.

That's right, to kill this BAMF, I need a friggin' Kill Sat.

And during my 1st playthrough, the readon I didn't scream because I'm too busy trying to survive.

That's just plain stupidly overpowered. Everythingother than killing the T. rex makes no sense. A Kill Sat of all things???

It's a huge Giganotosaurus. Besides, the biggest weapon available is Rocket Launcher, and it's just manage to annoy him.

A rocket launcher should at least severely injure any theropod...

That seems to be a case of Artistic Licence Palaeontology. A major one.

Well, can't argue with that.

But it is cool.

Speaking of which, did paleontologist/ cryptozoologst/ whatever they call themselves has considering any plausible way on how dinosaurs muscle, and dinosaurs in general, work?

Like, well, storing glycogen instead of fat?

That's in vogue right now (most dinosaur reconstructions are way too skin-and-bones). Current idea is that there should be a lot more muscle than usually shown.
