DEMapusaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, around 90 million years ago. It was a large, carnivorous dinosaur closely related to the famous Giganotosaurus, belonging to the Carcharodontosauridae family. Fossils of Mapusaurus were discovered in what is now Argentina. It is believed to have been a formidable predator, measuring up to 33 feet (10 meters) in length and weighing several tons. Some paleontologists think Mapusaurus may have hunted in packs, given the discovery of multiple individuals in the same area.
