The Biggest Land Animals In History: The Megasauropods

Megasauropod dinosaurs were the largest animals to ever walk on land, which some even rivalling the biggest whale species in terms of body mass. When it comes to terrestrial animals, sauropods are far and away the most massive. This video explains the biggest sauropod dinosaurs' size as well as their ecology and physiological adaptations that allowed them to grow so big.

Mega sauropods are the biggest dinosaurs ever by far. So out of the biggest sauropods ever, which mega sauropod claims the title of king? This ranking sorts giant sauropods by size and class within the Megakingdom, and Vividen explains the reasoning for each mass estimate. You may be surprised at the true winner in this contest of the largest sauropod dinosaurs.

How big were dinosaurs? Were they bigger than blue whales? The biggest dinosaur may have been Bruhathkayosaurus matleyi, a huge titanosaur from India, according to a new study by Gregory S. Paul and Asier Larramendi. The two paleontologists analyzed dinosaur size limits to find out the answer to the question: how big were dinosaurs? When it comes to the comparison of “Dinosaurs vs blue whale” and “Dinosaurs vs mammals,” it can go either way. Blue whales are often cited as the biggest animals ever, but with this recent discovery about giant sauropods like Bruhathkayosaurus and Amphicoelias (now Maraapunisaurus) that may not be true. Dinosaurs the size of a blue whale could be more common than previously thought, with multiple sauropod species weighing well over 100 tonnes. But was it really possible that there were dinosaurs the size of a blue whale? Find out here on The Vividen!
