Sauropods – or long necks – were the largest things to ever walk the face of the earth. Nothing else has come close. Whether that’s because something evolves to curb them before they reach the same size as the long-necked dinosaurs or that the sauropods were just built different the fact remains that nothing existed before or after them that could compete. The only critters to beat out the land titans are the oceanic leviathans, but that’s water – they’re cheating. Each new sauropod dinosaur discovered helps to understand the group as a whole as every single one is fragmentary with very few considered relatively complete. One of these well-preserved behemoths was yet another South American beast from the Late Cretaceous. Come and join me in learning about one of the most complete of the titanosaurs – Dreadnoughtus, the living citadel.
