Behavior

Giganotosaurus are very intelligent creatures, they spend their days wandering, never settling in one place for long. As they travel together their grumbles can be heard in the distance, communication is very important to the large Carnivores. Giganotosaurus packs are always very bonded to each other, they always seem to know what the other is thinking. A pack of Giganotosaurus with lack of communication will not have the best chance at surviving on the harsh Island. Giganotosaurus are not known to scavenge, they prefer to eat fresh prey over rotting food.

Recommended behaviors

╸Giganotosaurus does not tolerate other Giganotosaurus or Tyrannosauruses in the area and will attempt to drive them away or migrate to new hunting grounds.
╸Giganotosaurus tends to always be traveling.
╸Sleeps during the night and spend their day looking for a meal.
╸As Sauropod hunters they prefer to consume Amargasaurus or Argentinosaurus.

Mating

Giganotosaurus are very open about their relationships. Since a pack of Giganotosaurus are always so close, they rarely fight over mating rights, though usually the lead male or female gets their pick. When they begin to court one another they will huddle together for days, and take care of each other like it is the last time they will see each other. By the end of the mating ritual, both parties are very relaxed and ready to raise their young together.

Nesting & offspring

The nest is monitored by all members of the pack, they will take turns watching while others hunt or rest. Once the eggs hatch everyone takes turns feeding and teaching the babies. Because of all the different influences, Giganotosaurus grows up to be very intelligent.
