The Argentinosaurus Huinculensis is one of the largest animals known, with a length of 33 m and a weight of 73 tons. His skeleton was discovered by Guillermo Heredia in a rural area near Plaza Huincul, Neuquén, Argentina.
In the Ernesto Bachman Museum, a few kilometers away from Plaza Huincul, remains the skeleton of the largest carnivorous dinosaur in the world, the Giganotosaurus Carolinii (giant southern reptile), found by Rubén Carolini close to Villa El Chocón.
It is not known precisely if the two animals lived in the same period but here it is the bite of a Giganotosaurus Carolinii on the back of an Argentinosaurus Huinculensis: an Argentine bitten by another Argentine.
