Gigantic Trackers Figure Guide

Mapusaurus Gigantic Trackers

Mapusaurus was one of the biggest meat-eating dinosaurs ever, a giant relative of Giganotosaurus from Argentina, and it was found in a bonebed with several of its own kind. Mattel added it to the second Gigantic Trackers wave of Jurassic World Epic Evolution as a slate-grey giant with a tan belly, red back spikes and an attack motion. Here is what the figure looks like, what the bonebed suggests, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Bonebed Clue: Hunting Together?

Mapusaurus was found in a quarry holding at least seven individuals of different ages.

Site reportA group of giantsMapusaurus roseae
Found: 1997 to 2001Individuals: at least sevenAges: young to fully grownTheory: they may have lived or hunted in groups
Finding so many Mapusaurus together, young and old, led scientists to suggest they gathered in groups, perhaps to hunt giant sauropods like Argentinosaurus.

Bonebeds can also form when animals die separately and are washed together, so group hunting is still a theory, not a proven fact.

What Is Gigantic Trackers?

Gigantic Trackers is the largest regular assortment of Mattel’s Epic Evolution line. The figures are big, chunky and built for action, with attack motions and movable joints, and no batteries are needed. Each comes with a DNA code that unlocks the animal in the Jurassic World Play App.

Mapusaurus came in the second Gigantic Trackers wave of Epic Evolution, alongside Bajadasaurus.

Is It Worth Buying?

Mapusaurus is a giant predator rarely made as a toy, with an imposing size and look. The back spikes are invented, but it makes a great rival for big sauropods.

It came out in the second Epic Evolution Gigantic Trackers wave.
