The Absolutely Stunning Size Of This Argentinosaurus's Leg (And A Human For Scale)
The Argentinosaurus is a genus of humongous sauropod dinosaurs that used
to live during the Late Cretaceous period (66-100 million years ago) in
present-day Argentina.
They are characterized by their gargantuan
size, estimated to have hind legs as tall as 15 feet (4.5 meters), a
trunk length of 23 feet (7 meters), and an overall body length of 98
feet (30 meters). Oh, and their estimated weight is around 60 to 100
tons.
In context, 98 feet, their length, is about half the height of
the Leaning Tower of Pisa or two times as tall as the Hollywood sign.
And the weight—ten to sixteen times more than your average elephant.
