QuoteBy measuring the length and circumference of the largest femur (thigh bone), they calculated the animal weighed 77 tonnes.
"Given the size of these bones, which surpass any of the previously known giant animals, the new dinosaur is the largest animal known that walked on Earth," the researchers told BBC News.
"Its length, from its head to the tip of its tail, was 40m.
"Standing with its neck up, it was about 20m high - equal to a seven-storey building."
Is it dead?

That makes it less than half the volume/weight of the blue finn whale â€" 150 to 200 tonnes. The largest animal that ever lived. Which still lives
today. Even if barely.

You see, this is why we have offspring who lose teeth so the tooth fairy can grind them up to manufacture dinosaur bones. This one took several generations of kids. :snooty:
