There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Dreadnoughtus: one of the giants discovered in Argentina and having lived there during the Late Cretaceous, between 84 and 66 millions years ago. 85 feet long from snout to tail (26 meters), estimated weight : 40 tons. The scapula, pelvis, a big cervical vertebra, an entire frontlimb (humerus, radius, ulna) and an entire hindlimb (femur, tibia, fibula and some metatarsals), the ribs and the entire tail having been unearthed, 70% of this sauropod's anatomy is known. It's enough miraculous...
Dreadnoughtus translates for "fears nothing", probably because being adult it had probably no predators to fear...
Very nice watercolor of dreadnoughtus by Christopher DiPiazza :
