Gigantoraptor: The Mysterious Giant Dinosaur of Ancient Mongolia | Documentary
Towering high above any of its relatives or namesakes, this caenagnathid dinosaur, unrelated to the likes of Velociraptor and Utahraptor, was a colossus of the Iren Dabasu Formation. Discovered in what is now the Gobi Desert of Inner Mongolia, this was one of the largest animals to occupy the sands and plains of Asia in the Late Cretaceous, around ninety six million years ago. A true oddity of the dinosaurian world, there is much to cover about its discovery, lifestyle, paleoenvironment and more - and we will be delving into all of these in today's video. This is a journey that will take us back through time to meet one of the strangest theropods ever to walk the Earth: Gigantoraptor, the 'giant thief' of ancient Inner Mongolia.
