Drexel University professor Ken Lacovara has recently unveiled a new supermassive dinosaur species he discovered and unearthed with his team between 2005 and 2009. Weighing in at nearly 65 tons, Dreadnoughtus schrani is the largest land animal ever found of calculable mass and also by far one of the most complete skeletons ever found for a dinosaur in this mass range!

"I think it's time herbivores get their due" Ain't that the truth! Dreadnoughtus is certainly a good name for a giant sauropod imo. Being a creature so massive that few predators would dare even approach it.

I wouldn't want to go after this man in "show and tell."

I've seen Argentinian dinos. Many are simply huge and powerful. Proof again that country has rivaling or better specimens of any other nation!

As early as my childhood, reading the Bible, I wondered which animal the descriotion of Behemoth mentioned in the dook of Job fits. "Behold now behemoth, which I made with you; he eats grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moves his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.” 40:15-18 Now I can say that the description fits prefectly into this Dreadnoughtus schrani dinosaur.

Great work, over many years, and in difficult terrain, Patagonia, Argentina, S. America. All of the continued work with these bones has been very demanding....Congrats!

Simply astonishing. And a dozen fully grown elephants worth in size and weight! Most elephants in the wild eat between 300 and 500 pounds of vegetation and drink 50 gallons of water every day. They also spend 18 to 20 hours a day eating it. If Dreadnoughtus (Perfect name!) consumed even ten times that - then it would consume over 2 tons of vegetation a day and never stop eating!
