Meet Dreadnoughtus The Largest Dinosaur Ever Found

Meet Dreadnoughtus — the largest dinosaur ever found 

On Thursday, Nature published the results of a years-long excavation in Argentina, which may have unveiled the largest and heaviest dinosaur to ever walk on earth. Named Dreadnoughtus schrani – after the early 20th-century battleship — the dinosaur is estimated to have lived 77 million years ago.

According to calculations, Dreadnoughtus weighed around 65 tons and measured 85 feet long. If you want to get a sense of how ridiculously huge that is, that’s heavier than an adult sperm whale or an entire herd of African elephants — and seven times the weight of a Tyrannosaurus rex, which is frankly unimpressive in comparison.

Silly line art. I have issues with her face... but not sure how to fix it.

Friendly reminder that one time Trixie Dixon shot at a man who was threatening to jump off a bridge in order to prove that he did, indeed, want to live.
