Description

"...least of all you!"

Another new dinosaur has been discovered, and this one is real significant. Dreadnoughtus schrani, its name literally meaning "fearing nothing", is said to have the greatest mass of any known land animal that can be calculated to a reasonable degree of accuracy and certainty, on account that 45.5% of its skeleton was found. To put that into perspective, Argentinosaurus and Paralititan were likely bigger and heavier, but less than 10% of their skeleton has been found.

Of course, such a size would have been a big advantage for a dinosaur like Dreadnoughtus. It lived in Argentina, which was also home to some massive predatory dinosaurs that may have specialised in hunting giant sauropods, such as Giganotosaurus carolinii shown here.

Some studies also suggest that it was only a juvenile it could be bigger than we thought
