The largest dinosaur ever found weighed about twelve elephants

Imagine a pack of twelve African elephants. Or a Boeing 737 Well, this is the size of the largest animal that has ever lived throughout history. He has just been named to Dreadnoughtus schrani literally, he who does not fear nothing-and lived about 77 million years ago in Patagonia in Argentina, where their gigantic remains were unearthed in several campaigns between 2005 and 2009. Now, after years of reconstruction of more than 100 types of bones located, the dinosaur has unveiled its true dimensions: it was a giant sauropod 26 meters long with a weight of 59 tons. And the most fascinating thing is that the team of Argentine-American paleoanthropologists who has studied the animal was still believed in the growth phase. When he died he had not yet finished growing.
