the saga of the movie Jurassic World closes in theaters on June 9 with the premiere of Jurassic World: Dominionthe film reunion casting from the original movie, with a mountain of new dinosaurs. So, a few weeks ago, the first trailers, photos from the set and other winks for fans. But there has been an advancement that has been stealing all eyes since then. It’s huge. It’s very ugly. And he is Argentine.

It’s about Giganotosaurus carolinii, the dinosaur that chose production of the film as an antagonist, and lived nearly a hundred million years ago on the land of Neuquén, near the Limay River. A place that is a true Jurassic park and has served some of the largest specimens on record.

This Saturday morning, the special magazine Empire released the first photo where Giga can be seen, as the producers nickname her, along with the entire cast of the film. They even explained that it’s an animal that “causes fear”.

Giga glanced at some pictures of trailer released at the beginning of the year. He also appeared in a short recreating what life was like for dinosaurs, a kind of prologue power where it is braided fight against a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Now they can meet again.

“I want something like the Joker. He just wants to watch the world burn. “he kept in an interview with Empire producer and director Colin Trevorrow, referring to the new dinosaur.

This is not the first Argentine dinosaur to come into legend. In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom you already see Carnotaurus, a therodopod found in 1985 in the province of Chubut by Argentine paleontologist José Bonaparte. However, there he had a secondary role. Giganotosaurus is now one of the main attractions.

power will be returned to the screen the characters of 1993 Jurassic Park, which under the direction of Steven Spielberg marked a break in cinema history thanks to its avant-garde special effects. The dinosaurs were real and they walked again.

Actors Sam Neill (Alan Grant), Laura Dern (Ellie Sattler) and Jeff Goldblum (Ian Malcolm) will join Chris Pratt (Owen Grady) and Bryce Dallas-Howard (Claire Dearing) in a story that suggests a world where the dinosaurs escaped from the island and ran free across the planet. The pictures of the first trailer they showed some animals fighting in a square of a city in Europe.

a giant beast

At a length of about thirteen meters and an estimated weight between 6 and 8 tons, the Giganotosaurus carolinii was discovered in 1993 by Rubén Carolini, a mechanic and novice fossil hunter who toured the province of Neuquén. It is a specimen that has preserved nearly 70 percent of the skeleton.

The discovery was accompanied by paleontologists Rodolfo Coria and Leonardo Salgado and caused a stir in the paleontological world. Patagonia Argentina is one of the most interesting points in the world in terms of fossils.

The discovery of Giganotosaurus also occurred in conjunction with the outbreak of a global dinomania due to the premiere of Jurassic Park. While everyone is talking about the huge Tyrannosaurus Rex, the most dangerous carnivore to walk the world, in Argentina, a species appeared that seemed larger. They have already started fighting.

In a few months, that match will hit the big screen.
