An Adolescent Dinosaur


It may not be the largest land animal that ever lived, but - at eighty-five feet long, 30 feet tall, 130,000 pounds and still growing when it died - it comes close. The largest land animal today, at 15,000 pounds, is the African male elephant.

Scientists unearthed Dreadnaughtus in Argentina in 2005. It took four years to get it out and another five years of study before the scientists were ready to publish their findings.
