Patagotitan — size comparison — facts and sources

Patagotitan was a giant quadrupedal herbivore of Cretaceous Patagonia. A titanosaur, it reached food with a long neck, while a substantial body held its plant-processing digestive system.

Excavations yielded several individuals, giving a more complete skeletal picture than for many other giant sauropods. The formal species description appeared in 2017. Bone studies indicate that not all animals had finished growing when they died.
