Fossilised bones of dinosaur believed to be the largest creature ever to walk the Earth has been unearthed in Argentina, palaeontologists say.
Based on its huge thigh bones, it was 40m (130ft) long and 20m (65ft) tall. Weighing in at 77 tonnes, it was as heavy as 14 African elephants, and seven tonnes heavier than the previous record holder, Argentinosaurus. Scientists believe it is a new species of titanosaur – an enormous herbivore dating from the Late Cretaceous period. Read more: http://ow.ly/wXCu1

Sjoe!Ek hoop nie dit was ‘n hoax nie.Dit sal darem so fantasties wees as dit waar is.Dit wys net weereens dat die mens nog baie dinge het om te ontdek.
May 20, 2014 @ 05:35:18
Nee ek dink nie so nie want dit was op TV nou die aand. Ek het vir Ark die link gegee, gaan kyk bietjie, dis omtrent ‘n groot gedierte.
May 19, 2014 @ 17:57:19

Who cares about an old bone? Who’s that hunk?
May 20, 2014 @ 07:30:37
Hmmmm… after reading further I see it’s Dr Diego Pol. Grrrr! Would love to do some excavating with him. 😆
May 20, 2014 @ 08:21:01
I would like to see you lift that bone…
🙂
May 20, 2014 @ 09:15:53
You still hung up on the bone? Forget the bone! I’ll give it to Simba and keep Dr Diego busy. hahahah
May 20, 2014 @ 09:29:40
*grin*
May 20, 2014 @ 09:54:39
hahahahahah!
May 20, 2014 @ 09:48:25
Poor little Simba 🙂 Is your garden user friendly enough for him to bury this one?
May 20, 2014 @ 09:55:26
Oh, believe me. He won’t bury it. He will go and lie over it and growl at everyone coming near it. LOL!
May 20, 2014 @ 11:42:50
for some or other reason I could not open your blog with the crickets, even just to say thank you but no thank you I don’t like them much, nee man
🙂
But I like spiders – to look at!
May 21, 2014 @ 05:22:29
WP must have been working on their servers again, but I see you did manage. Thanks again. 😀
I don’t mind crickets and it was quite fun taking photo’s of that little mole cricket. LOL!

Sure does make one wonder how many other ‘large’ things are waiting to be discovered. Nothing would surprise me, really. 😉
May 21, 2014 @ 13:53:56
Unfortunately so many of these have eroded so we have to rely on the few we found!
