The world's largest dinosaur is in Argentina

This species lived on our planet 77 million years ago, had a length of 26 meters and weighed about 60 tons. The new find indicates that the largest of the known four-legged herbivorous dinosaurs can be in the hands of scientists. According to experts, this animal died as a result of the flood.

Specialists with a high degree of probability say that during life this species had a length of at least 26 meters and weighed about 60 tons. According to them, the skeleton, which appeared in the excavation area, belonged to the individual, which was still growing, so the exact size of the giant dinosaur can not yet be determined.

Its name - Dreadnoughtus Schrani - the dinosaur received in honor of the giant combat ship Dreadnoughtus, created at the beginning of the last century.

Paleontologists from the University of Philadelphia in the United States are convinced that Dreadnoughtus Schrani is the largest living creature that lived on land for the entire existence of the planet. Outstanding dimensions of the prehistoric animal allow us to take a fresh look at the anatomy, biomechanics and evolution of giant dinosaurs.
