Researchers in Brazil have uncovered the skeleton of perhaps the most immense species of dinosaur discovered yet. Stretching 105 ft long, and about 43 ft high, Futalognkosaurus (FOO-ta-long-koh-SOHR-us) dukei, a plant eating behemoth, is thought to have lived about 88 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. The neck length alone of this beast is 56 ft, with a single vertibra measuring around 3ft tall. The site area where the bones where found is said to have been a veritable dino-bone all you dig buffet, with over 1000 specimens being unearth in the region.
