G'day ladies and gentlemen! In today's video we have a debate on Megatheropod is the STRONGEST In red corner we have the contender Giganotosaurus carolinii. In the blue corner we have current king of the dinosaurs the Tyrannosaurus rex. Who will be crowned the true king of the theropods? LET'S FIND OUT!
