Largest dinosaurs discovered
 
I especially like the photo where the femur bone of this Titanosaur (great name IMO) is bigger than man. Unfortunately, it appears that you need to be near good water if you want to survive, but not too wet in that you can get stuck in the mud.

The dinosaurs unveiled Saturday by Argentina's Museo Paleontologico Egidio Feruglio may be the largest to grace the Earth. At about 130 feet (40 meters) long and 180,000 pounds (80,000 kilograms), it's no wonder, then, that these colossal creatures are dubbed titanosaurs -- titan being a nod to the giants of ancient Greek mythology.

Its hard to believe creatures like this actually existed but they did.

Goes to show you the concepts we come up with in sci-fi like giant monsters/creatures/aliens all have some basis in reality. If a dinosaur can be that big on Earth...then why can't there be creatures like this on alien planets?

It just goes to prove more and more that alien life will be discovered eventually.

in a 1000000 years maybe if we don't go extinct and discover light speed and unlimited fuel source.
Or they alredy have and will discover us...

I can't believe they were encouraging that kid in the Charmander suit to hang from a skull.

Stuff like this just furthers my continual amazement that we ever made our way to the top of the food chain. I mean, if you walked up to me and asked me to bet on the guy with opposable thumbs or the guy with fangs/claws/superior strength and size, I wouldn't in a million years have put my money on the thumbs guy. :ohwell:

Whoa. It's amazing that creatures like this existed long before we did. I like to imagine what it would be like today if dinosaurs still roamed Earth and what it would be like if they did.

me being the Dino Geek that I am, this makes me giddier than a school kid!

Wow....That's amazing!

If dinosaurs still roamed the earth, I'd hope that life would be kind of like Dinoriders! :D But without the enslavement and brain-boxes. My daily commute to work every day would definitely be more bearable if it was done by dinosaur.

Yeah but if you smaller you can hide in any holle if you are giant you are always exposed to the elements , their size helped them to be the dominant species but it was also the cause of their destruction...

Also as big as they are it's important to remember they had brains the size of a wallnut:lol:

psychturtle 05-24-2014 11:09 PM
That. Is. Big. Any other computer renderings of scale?
