Rapator,the giant alvarezsaur



I'm sure all (or most) of the people on the list know about the likely alvarezsaur nature of Australia's Rapator. We all know it would have been a VERY big one at that (an estimated 6-metre one to be exact,as opposed to any other alvarezsaur wich are mostly about 1-metre long)With other alvarezsaurs being considered myrmecophages I wonder,could this have counted for Rapator as well? I find this particular idea a tad unlikely because at it's size and in an environment in 24-hour darkness during part of the year,I doubt Rapator could have found enough termites to keep itself alive. So is Rapator considered a myrmecophage or rather a predator using it's nasty monoclawed hands to hack into larger,vertebrate,prey?
