Where is this information coming from?  From what I
have been able to gather, known specimens of
_Giganotosaurus carolinii_ are not only longer but
also *bulkier* than those of _Tyrannosaurus rex_.  

All I've been able to gather is that the skulls and
teeth of tyrannosaurids were more robust than those of
carcharodontosaurids.
 
So what have I missed?  Is there a theropod specialist
in the house?
