What is the largest dinosaur?
Weighing about 136 tons and over 30 meters long, the largest mammal on Earth is the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus). But what is the largest land animal? Today it is the elephant that holds this title, but if we take a look at the past, we will find creatures of greater size. Many of the dinosaurs were larger and bigger than modern elephants, hippos and rhinos. Some of the largest dinosaurs were the sauropods, a group of saurischian, exclusively herbivorous dinosaurs that lived between the Upper Triassic and Upper Cretaceous, with long necks, small heads and very long tails. Specimens belonging to the group of sauropods known as Titanosauria were truly giant, weighing close to 100 tons.
