Biggest dinosaur ever discovered
Quote:
Fossilised bones of a dinosaur believed to be the largest creature ever to walk the Earth have been unearthed in Argentina, palaeontologists say.
Based on its huge thigh bones, it was 40m (130ft) long and 20m (65ft) tall.
Weighing in at 77 tonnes, it was as heavy as 14 African elephants, and seven tonnes heavier than the previous record holder, Argentinosaurus.
Scientists believe it is a new species of titanosaur - an enormous herbivore dating from the Late Cretaceous period.

N E ways, this is very very interesting.

Still not as heavy/big as the Queen of Animal Pop and most iconic animal of all time, the BLUE WHALE.

I have seen some bigger sauropods on tv when I was a child
And wasn't Argentinosaurus believed to have weighed up to 90 tonnes?

Blue whale is more iconic than dinosaurs? Nah, dinosaurs's impact on pop culture is real

A 100 tonnes at one point, but they were wrong. It's more like 70.
