New Dinosaur Found
In Argentina, new fossils have been found that made one of the biggest dinosaurs ever been discovered.
Scientists have 70% of the bones needed to complete the massive, long-necked, plant-eating Dreadnoughtus schrani , dinosaur which is one of the biggest animals to have ever lived on earth.
They thought that this dinosaur measured to 26 metres and weighed almost 60 tonnes. Its tail alone measured 9m long. That’s long enough like the length of a bus.
The  skeleton revealed that the dinosaur was still growing at the time of its death.  Nobody knew how big it would become.
Based on the location of the rocks where the fossils were found it was believed that the young dinosaur was killed by a massive flood that occurred that time.  Scientists thought Dreadnoughtus was a huge animal and would have had no predators. All other creatures would have been terrified of its size.
