A Dinosaur The Size of a Blue Whale? Bruhathkayosaurus matleyi

Et al is probably the greatest scientist of our time. His breadth of work shows. He’s on like every scientific paper… what an enigma

"Bruh, how thicc are you"-saurus can't possibly be a real name. Which paleontologist decided to troll with this? Rescind their naming privileges.

A 100+ tonne sauropod would be mind bogglingly awesome. Kinda hard to believe, but I really do hope that they existed. I would do anything to see a living sauropod of that size just roaming around.

It just seems biomechanically and metabolically un-fuckin'-reasonable that there were land animals of that mass. Apparently true, but totally nuts.

Looks like Argentinosaurus might finally be dethroned once and for all.

Paleontologist: "Hey, I found this huge bone of a sauropod, what should we name it?" Chief Paleontologist: "Bruh, have a care! This could easily fall on us and kill us!"

I love sauropods, especially monstrously gigantic ones. They’re basically living mountains which makes them fascinating. Thanks for the great video.

Thrilling to think about just how huge the sauropods were.

Imagine being so massive that people first thought your bones were trees

If Bruhathkayosaurus was really that big, it would create tremors while walking. It's also possible that there must had been some aquatic creature even heavier and bigger than Blue whale but noone can search for fossils in Oceans.

Interviewer: so how big can sauropods get? That one dinosaur: Yes

Imagine being a poor theropod looking for a meal and that thing pulls up. Nice video

So theoretically speaking, Godzilla could exist, he'd just be a sauropod.

The plant matter required to support herds of these, plus everything else, would be immense.

Here's the kicker, Sauropods didn't just grow big for nothing they grew so large for predator defense. We see this with Argentinosaurus & Patagotitan who coexisted with mega theropods such as Giganotosaurus & Mapusaurus. Heck, even Barosaurus coexisted with a mega-theropod in the Morrison Formation with Saurophaganax at 10.5 meters. This is what I'm getting at here, to get the correct selection pressure for Bruhathkayosaurus to get so big & if it's proportions are correct there had to be a yet undiscovered Mega-Theropod at least 9 meters (But most likely much larger) running around Maastrichtian India. The only large Theropods known from Maastrichtian India are Abelisaurids so if the predictions are correct there was possibly a Disney's Dinosaur-like gigantic Abelisaurid roaming around India.

The fact that a sauropod may be the closest creature to be a real-life kaiju.

Very interesting, are we absolutely sure this dinosaur exists and its bones were not a tree trunk?

Whats gets me us that these would absolutely be ecosystem by themselves. The thought of some animal living and dieing on the backs of these creatures without ever touching the ground is fascinating is hell to me

I... I think i just stopped being a Blue whale supremacist, I'm in team sauropod now.

I remember hearing about this sauropod back in the day, but I read that it was greatly oversized. Now, it seems to have been that big... 😅
