There are rumours about that on deviantart, and many people seem to restore it with either some sort of gular pouch or dewlap. I don’t think the structure really makes sense, we are talking about a terrestrial macropredator quite capable of carcass dismemberment while we only seem to find gular pouches in animals that are primarily piscivorous and have dentitions not suitable for biting off pieces (or no dentitions in the first place), e.g. crocodilians and pelicans. But there seems to be a true core to it, I just don’t know whether it is a misinterpredation. Someone on DA cited a 2003 paper by Philip Currie with it, I think it is this one→, but I can’t acess it. It seems strange for a paper about footprints, not body fossils, to contain evidence for a throatpouch… |

Not bad! You did a good job with the shapes. I’d add some shading to give a sense of plasticity, and maybe colour the back of Giganotosaurus darker dorsal to the line you drew. Also, was the gular pouch on the Giganotosaurus intentional? Thank you 
Yes, it was intentional. I think that most of the Carcharodontosaurids had got a such gular poch. It's only a speculation, but I like thinking about them so.

 A young Agustinia has got too close to a baby Tyrannotitan (that little, feathered thing). But the mom won't allow Agustinia to get too close to her baby. Tyrannotitan is a fantastic animal. Even though it's often depicted as the smaller and weaker Giganotosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus and Mapusaurus relative, it was very bulky, and it's the second largest Theropod know from good specimens. giganotosaurinae.deviantart.com/art/You-are-too-close-490187419 |
