Scientists dig up Southeast Asia’s largest dinosaur in Thailand

Along a meandering river in a warm and arid region that is now Thailand roughly 113 million years ago, a plant-eating behemoth almost 90 feet long browsed on the treetops without much fear of predators due to its sheer size.

Scientists have identified a massive new dinosaur from remains discovered in Thailand, with the creature estimated to have weighed as much as nine adult elephants.

Researchers have unearthed significant skeletal remains of Nagatitan, a member of the sauropod lineage characterized by their distinctive long necks, lengthy tails, small heads, and four columnar legs.

Like that dinosaur, it belonged to the sauropod family of long-necked herbivores.
