New Dinosaur discovered is the largest animal to ever walk the earth.

Because of the new rules I'm only going to summarize the highligts of the article.

It is a species of titanosaur that was 85 feet long, 30 feet tall and weighed 65 tons. That's more than a 737 airplane. It was adolescent when it died so it had not ever reached it full size.

It's name is, "Dreadnoughtus schrani" after the legendary Dreadnought battleships of World War I.

It was discovered in the Patagonia region of Argentina.

It is the most complete skeleton ever found of a titanosaurs with more than 200 bones themselves weighing 16 tons alone. There was another titanosaur discovered eariler this year that had a bigger femur but because so few bones of it were found it's size can't be accurately measured. Dreadnoughtus can.

They have preformed laser scans of all the bones and made 3D models of each one. This will allow paleontologists from other parts of the world to study the bones without actually having to go there.
