Meet Dreadnoughtus, perhaps the biggest creature to ever walk the planet

Paleontologists estimate the
Dreadnoughtus schrani specimen
unveiled Thursday was about 85 feet
long and weighed about 65 tons.

He was a big boy. A very,
very big boy.
In fact, the Dreadnoughtus schrani
dinosaur unveiled Thursday was one
of the biggest -- if not THE biggest --
land animal ever to grace the Earth.
Experts estimate that back in his day
-- which was the Upper Cretaceous
period, approximately 77 million
years ago -- that this creature whose
fossilized remains were unearthed
recently in Argentina's southwestern
Patagonia measured out at 85 feet
long and weighed about 65 tons.
No wonder, then, paleontologists
picked a first name that breaks down
to "fear nothing." (The second name
honors benefactor and tech
entrepreneur Adam Schran.) You
wouldn't be scared, either, if you
towered over every creature in sight,
could smash most anything with your
whip-like tail and could smoosh
anything with your colossal feet.
