Had to be a LOT of CO2 in the air to support the amount of plant life needed to support such a giant creature....

I shot one of these things years ago.

I had no way to dress out such a large beast and left it next to a group of dead unicorns...

Artist's conception of what the creature looked like.

A long time ago when the earth was green there were more kinds of animals you have never seen? I guess there just wasn’t enough room on that ark to fit them all in? I’m sure there are many more unknown species to find, keep digging. I’d be even more interested if one is found with a saddle.

measured 85 feet (26 meters) long and weighed about 65 tons

A walking whale.
It had to be pushing the size limit of what's possible on land from the anatomical physics alone.

The specimen named Dreadnoughtus schrani is exceptionally complete, with about 70 percent of its bones recovered. Scientists believe the creature, which lived about 77 million years ago, measured 85 feet (26 meters) long and weighed about 65 tons, heavier than a Boeing 737.

I was hoping for a larger predator!

This might not quite make it for GGG, but it’s still interesting.

So, what? Is this a NEW one? When Argentinasaurus displaced megasaurus (or some damn thing) my 4 yr old son was devastated. Wait’ll the poor kid gets the news.

I simply can’t imagine how anything that large could have ever walked on a planet with Earth’s gravity.

Per simple logic, gravity had to have been weaker in those times, or the planet itself was smaller.

They might have lived in shallow marshes like hippo’s right?
