Good evening to all. Today I will look throw the biggest sauropods. We know that this group of dinosaurs were the biggest creatures on the planet Earth. Many of them are known from only pieces of vertebrae. Ok let's start.
5. Paralitian was slightly smaller than the previous competitor. It was 31 meters long. But it was much heavier than the previous two competitors. Paralititan was an African dinosaur that weighed 80 tons. Tis giant was probably hunted by enormous predators like Carcharodontosaurus. I think it must be the fifth.
10. The "smallest of the biggest" and may be the most well known sauropod is Diplodocus. This giant from the Late Jurassic was 30 meters long and weighed 25 tons. First when it was described, scientists estimated the size of Diplodocus as 54 meters long and 113 tons weight.
9. Supersaurus probably is an another individual of Apatosaurus, but I will introduce it like a separate genus. Supersaurus was probably 35-40 meters long and weighed up to 35 tons. Ultrasaurus is a synonym to Supersaurus.
8. Seismosaurus was an unusual large diplodocid. It was much larger than its relatives such as Diplodocus and Supersaurus. This giant was 54 meters long and weighed 30 tons.
7. Antarctosaurus is an another titanosaurian competitor. The second specie of this sauropod seems to be one of the largest. Approaching 30 meters long and weighing 60 tons Antarctosaurus is the seventh.
5. Paralitian was slightly smaller than the previous competitor. It was 31 meters long. But it was much heavier than the previous two competitors. Paralititan was an African dinosaur that weighed 80 tons. Tis giant was probably hunted by enormous predators like Carcharodontosaurus. I think it must be the fifth.
4.Futalognkosaurus is a South American titanosaurid. Its name means "giant chief lizard". With its size, Futalognkosaurus couldn't have been a good chief. It was 32-35 meters long and 75-80 tons weight. Little bigger than the Paralititan.
3.On the top three largest sauropods is an Argentinosaurus from Argentina. This dinosaur was bigger and heavier than the all previous sauropods. It was 35 meters long and weighed 100 tons. But even this lizard isn't the largest.
2. Introducing the second of the largest creature ever stepped on the Earth. The huge Amphicoelias. It is known from only one part of the vertebrae. This vertebrae is much larger than that of Argentinosaurus. This giant was 60 meters long and 120 tons in weight. but it is only the second.
1. And the winner of my top 10 of the largest sauropods. This dinosaur surpass Amphicoelias in mass by 30 tons. This sauropod was 40-44 meters long. And it is titanosaurid dinosaur from India. Meet the largest creature on the planet Earth. Bruhathkoyasaurus!!!!
