Dinosaur discovery: Fossils found in Argentina may have belonged to largest land animal

Measurements made by the dinosaur expert resulted in the Patagotitan weight estimated at 50 to 55 tons, while Argentinosaurus may have weighed an amazing 75 tons.

These highly-accurate volumetric models were based on restorations of the entire skeletal profile of the dinosaur, to construct Argentinosaurus in 3D.

There is, however, a limit to how big animals can get, as the larger the life-form, the more its extreme energy needs are.

Huge herbivores such as the Argentinosaurus were required to devour several trees daily just to stay alive.
