Thoughts go out to the paleontologist first finding this – they start with a little paint brush, carefully uncovering a tail, then more tail, then a month later they are still on the freaking tail, worn down the bristles on two brushes and thinking “yeah yeah career making discovery, but Jesus, a velociraptor would be done by now.”
The name of this impressive animal is Titanosauros and as the name suggests it is quite massive:
For us Europeans out there, that would be 40 meters from nose to tail and as the illustration suggests, it could quite easily step over an elephant.
