Text I
Scientists
have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever
to walk on the earth. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and
North of America in Pentagonia, a desert on the eastern slope of the Andes in the South America.
Besides the interesting fact that the dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is
even bigger meat-eater lived and hunted in packs. The tyrannosaurus Rex lived
in the North America and was believed to hunt
and live alone.
The
newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family,
being as closely related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not
the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, being as different of it as a
cat is from a dog.
The
Fossilized remains indicate the animal lived about 100 million years ago. With
needle shaped noses and razor sharp teeth, they were large than the
Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were slightly shorter and their jaws
were designed to be better able to cut the body of their prey into pieces
quickly and precisely.

military tradition masculine or ‘macho’ position, thus making it more
acceptable for men to wear floral designs on their shirts in pinks, purple,
violets and other ‘feminine colour’. For some people, long hair and jewellery

thinking. More facial hair also became common, precisely because it differed
