hey thanks for the heads up - I drew this in 2012, based on photos of a reconstructed cast of a Giganotosaurus skull.
I figured the reconstructions were correct back then, but they might have been off.
I'll look into it.
I was planning on updating these dinosaur skulls anyway, and I want them to reflect recent understanding.

Incredible! I always like to study the concept of T-Rex v Giganotosaurus. The sheer difference in their skulls is just staggering

Thanks! 
Whereas tyrannosaurus just looks like industrial grade cutting
and grinding machinery. As if it would just as easily consume
flesh as the bare rock the earth is made of. 
But yeah, they probably had different diets and different feeding strategies.
I dunno really, I didn't read up on giganotosaurus. Would be interesting to know though.

I would think that Gig', with that narrow head would go after smaller prey. What is so striking about T-Rex is that bottom jaw. I can imagine it taking down anything

That might be true. Although smaller is relative I guess,
with a maw of 1,5 meters or so. On Trex's bottom jaw, I agree.
What the ?

Sometimes though, at certain angles, T-Rex's head almost looks disproportionate to the rest of it's body. It's head is like a weapon of mass destruction

It certainly looks like the original weapon of mass destruction.
That's what always struck me in the debates between paleontologists,
on whether T-rex was a scavenger or a predator.
Of course, scavenging would probably not be beneath it, lions and sharks
scavenge too. But look at that head. That is not built for scavenging.

Yeah, good call. If your jaws are strong enough to bend metal, they're there for something more than scavenging, lol
