Dreadnoughtus schrani

A newly unearthed “supermassive” dinosaur, Dreadnoughtus schrani, is the largest known land animal for which mass can be accurately calculated, concludes a new study.
Its name might be a tongue-twister, but Leikupal Laticauda has vaulted into the upper reaches of dinosaur stardom.
The dinosaur, whose scientific name means “fear nothing” and is nicknamed “Dread,” is described in the latest issue of Scientific Reports. Dread measured 85 feet long and weighed about 65 tons, according to the study, which also reports that the dinosaur’s skeleton is the most complete ever found for its type.
