About Argentinosaurus
Possibly the largest land animal to ever walk the Earth, estimated at 35 meters long and 65 tonnes. Known from relatively few bones — no complete skeleton exists. Each vertebra was over 1.5 meters wide. Would have laid eggs the size of a football despite being the size of a building. Traveled in herds based on trackway evidence.
