In this 360 degree video, David Attenborough introduces us to the World”™s largest dinosaur, which was 122 feet long and weighed as much as Boeing 737.
In 2014, a shepherd spotted the tip of a gigantic fossil bone sticking out of a rock in La Flecha Farm in the Chubut Province in the Argentinian desert.
Palaeontologists soon uncovered a massive 2.4m long thigh bone, the largest ever found.
By the end of the dig they had uncovered more than 220 bones, all belonging to a new species of the giant plant-eating titanosaur.
The dinosaur has now been officially named ”˜Patagotitan mayorum”™ after the Patagonia region where it was found and the Greek word ”˜titan,”™ which means ”˜large.”™
The P. mayorum has now been given the award of largest dinosaur ever to walk the Earth, averaging a length of 122 feet (37 meters) and height of 20 feet (6 meters) at the shoulders.
It weighed around 76 tons.
A replica of this dinosaur”™s skeleton has been on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York since 2016.
Located on the fourth floor, the titanosaur”™s neck and head extend out toward the elevators banks, welcoming visitors to the “dinosaur floor.”
