Fun Fact of the Day 5/21

The largest dinosaur currently know to science is Argentinosaurus (first image), a huge sauropod from South America which would have stretched over 110 feet long when alive. It lived on the dry, early cretaceous plains of Argentina, where it would have likely contended with predators such as the enormous Giganotosaurus (second image)



Although, there are several genera of herbivore that have been estimated to attain even greater size than Argentinosaurus, such as the little-known Amphicoelias fragillimus and a few other species known only from fragments.
