Could you imagine a 40 foot, 8 ton animal on the planet? Your answer is as good as mine. No. But almost 100 million years ago this animal, Giganotosaurus, also known as "giant southern lizard" existed.
The Giganotosaurus, lived in the Cretaceous period about 95-100 million years ago. It was notorious during its era. The Giganotosaurus tended to stalk their prey before they killed. They were meat eaters (carnivores).
