Summary: The Titanosaur was discovered Saturday by Egidio Feruglio, Argentina's Museo Paleontologic, and may be the largest to have grazed Earth. It's about 180,000 pounds, and "It's like two trucks with a trailer each, one in front of the other, and the weight of 14 elephants together." says Argentina museum dinosaur specialist Jose Luis Carballido, who played a big part in the discovery. The Titanosaur is a herbivore, and as far as scientists can tell, dated about 95 million years ago. It's the first of its kind to be found in South America.
Analysis: Wow!! It's amazing that they're still discovering new dinosaurs... It opens up tons of possibilities about the Earth's past! And the fact that the dinosaurs we're discovering are just getting bigger is astounding. I'm glad that they've made this new discovery and can learn more about the dinosaurs then we already know. The size is still unbelievable to me though, 180,000 pounds!! It's bigger than my house!
