Giant dino smaller than first thought─── 07:56 Sun, 13 Aug 2017
London - Although it isn’t quite as big as they first thought, the dimensions of the colossal dinosaur unearthed in Argentina in 2014 will still take your breath away.
BBC reports its fossil bones suggested at the time the animal - this week named Patagotitan mayorum - could have tipped the scales at 77 tonnes.
Further investigation by scientists now put its likely bulk at 69 tonnes. However, that still makes it one of the biggest dinosaurs ever discovered.
The beast would have lived in Patagonia when it was lush and covered by forest, between 100 and 95 million years ago.
