This is the biggest dinosaur ever discovered, which also means it's the biggest land animal that's ever lived. Its name: Patagotitan mayorum. Patagotitan may have been as large as any land animal could possibly get, weighing as much as 12 elephants. It belongs to a group of dinosaurs known as Titanosaurs, which include other enormous long-necked species. Scientists are studying its very complete skeleton found in Argentina's Patagonia region. The quality of the remains allows for detailed study of how such a huge body works.
