If the upper size estimates for Bruhathkayosaurus are accurate, it would even rival the size of the largest recorded blue whale. Mature blue whales can reach 30 m (98 ft) in length, and the record-holder blue whale was recorded at 173 tonnes (190 short tons), [23] with estimates of up to 199 tonnes (220 short tons). [24]
Scale diagram comparing a human and the longest-known dinosaurs of five major clades An adult male bee hummingbird, the smallest known and the smallest living dinosaur. Size is an important aspect of dinosaur paleontology, of interest to both the general public and professional scientists.
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 ...

Argentinosaurus (meaning "lizard from Argentina") is a genus of giant sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now Argentina.Although it is only known from fragmentary remains, Argentinosaurus is one of the largest known land animals of all time, perhaps the largest, measuring 30–35 m (98–115 ft) long and weighing 65–80 t (72–88 short tons).
It is hoped the discovery will provide clues about how dinosaurs interacted, as well as their size and the speeds at which they moved. U.K.'s biggest dinosaur footprint site discovered: "So ...
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 ...
The blue whale is the largest animal on Earth and likely the largest animal ever to have lived. While this ocean mammoth is dubbed “blue,” its color is more a reflection of the water it swims ...
