Prettige feite

Nagatitan is the largest dinosaur ever found in Southeast Asia, measuring about 27 metres (89 feet) long.1

It weighed as much as 25 to 28 tonnes, which is like 5 to 6 large elephants.2

Its backbone had two different shapes of joints, a feature not seen in other sauropods.2

Nagatitan lived about 113 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period.1

The fossils were found in a rock formation that also had fish, sharks, turtles, and crocodile-like animals.2

Scientists think Nagatitan grew so big because of warmer temperatures and more living space in Asia at that time.2

Mite-breker
