Bruhathkayosaurus (/ b r uː ˌ h æ θ k eɪ oʊ ˈ s ɔːr ə s /; meaning "huge-bodied lizard") is a controversial genus of sauropod dinosaur found in the Kallamedu Formation of India.The fragmentary remains were originally described as a theropod, but it was later determined to be a titanosaurian sauropod.
The heaviest blue whale on record weighed 190 metric tons (190 long tons; 210 short tons), [12] and the heaviest dinosaur known from reasonably good remains, Argentinosaurus, weighed 80 to 100 metric tons (79 to 98 long tons; 88 to 110 short tons), although if the size estimates can be validated, it could still be lighter than Bruhathkayosaurus ...
It exceeded 3 m (9.8 ft) in length, and would have weighed in at around 200 kg (440 lb), much larger than any other known mustelid, living or extinct. [155] [156] [157] There were other giant otters, like Siamogale, at around 50 kg (110 lb) [158] and Megalenhydris, which was larger than a modern-day giant river otter. [159]
11-year-old’s fossil discovery reveals ancient creature larger than a blue whale. Ashley Strickland, CNN. April 20, 2024 at 11:00 AM.
Size of Paraceratherium (dark grey) compared to a human and other rhinos (though one study suggests Palaeoloxodon namadicus may have been a larger land mammal). The blue whale is the largest mammal of all time, with the longest known specimen being 33 m (108.3 ft) long and the heaviest weighted specimen being 190 tonnes.
One of the longest complete dinosaurs is the 27-metre-long (89 ft) Diplodocus, which was discovered in Wyoming in the United States and displayed in Pittsburgh's Carnegie Natural History Museum in 1907. [26] There were larger dinosaurs, but knowledge of them is based entirely on a small number of fragmentary fossils.
Blue whales can grow up to 100 feet long and weigh about 200 tons — that makes them bigger than dinosaurs. Although these whales can be found in every ocean on Earth, the International Union for ...
Basilosaurus (meaning "king lizard") is a genus of large, predatory, prehistoric archaeocete whale from the late Eocene, approximately 41.3 to 33.9 million years ago (mya). First described in 1834, it was the first archaeocete and prehistoric whale known to science. [2] Fossils attributed to the type species B. cetoides were discovered in the ...
