Dịch bài đọc:
Các nhà khoa học đã phát hiện ra xương của loài khủng long ăn thịt lớn nhất từng đi trên trái đất. Phát hiện này được thực hiện bởi một nhóm các nhà nghiên cứu từ Argentina và Bắc Mỹ ở Patagonia, một sa mạc trên sườn phía đông của dãy Andes ở Nam Mỹ. Bên cạnh sự thật thú vị đó là con khủng long to và rất đáng sợ, điều đáng kinh ngạc hơn nữa là xương của một số loài khủng long đã được tìm thấy cùng nhau. Phát hiện này đã thách thức giả thuyết trước đó rằng loại động vật ăn thịt lớn nhất này sống một mình, thay vào đó, chúng có thể sống và đi săn theo bầy. Tyrannosaurus Rex sống ở Bắc Mỹ và được cho là săn mồi và sống một mình.
Loài ăn thịt mới được phát hiện dường như có liên quan đến họ Giganotosaurus, liên quan mật thiết với nó như thể một con cáo sẽ liên quan đến con chó vậy. Nó thực sự không cùng một họ với Tyrannosaurus Rex, như thể con mèo thì khác con chó vậy.
Dấu tích hóa thạch cho thấy những con vật sống cách đây khoảng 100 triệu năm. Với mũi hình kim và hàm răng sắc như dao cạo, chúng lớn hơn Tyrannosaurus Rex, mặc dù chân của chúng ngắn hơn một chút và hàm của chúng được thiết kế để có thể mổ xẻ con mồi một cách nhanh chóng và chính xác.
