The Biggest Dinosaur to Walk the Earth

[@aircraftcarrierwo-class]

I appreciate this serious documentarian voice saying "Chonkasaurus" so seriously. Thank you.

[@lightbeingform]

I WAS wondering how they got so big, thank you for addressing that! I am very behind on all this, when I last immersed myself in dinosaur lore it was between Brontosaurus and Diplodocus for the win - many years ago! This channel is awesome!

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Boeing373!??? 😮😖 Besides that, excellent presentation!

[@SolidSnake1217]

You should cover Compys next, they were always the cute ones in the movies

[@michealtaylor7745]

Movie monsters you mean.

[@karkovice10]

I once heard of another super large dinosaur called the Seismosaurus, so named because it was believed to cause minor tremors as it walked. :)

[@oisnowy5368]

Scary. But not as scary as the Geigersaurus.

[@_Dinops]

Seismosaurus is now just a species of diplodocus

[@michealtaylor7745]

Like Brontosaurus before it, Thunder Lizard it walked on soft pads like Elephants, they didn't advertise their coming. All dinosaurs walked silently, as modern animals do.

[@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457]

It's also believed giant Sauropods created Shockwave by whip of their tail.

[@Scott-wf9kp]

Great stuff, I appreciate how you address the nuances behind determining the biggest dinosaur. Thank you for your hard work in making this video! I just discovered your channel and am about to binge your stuff. I look forward to more of your calming and informative content!

[@multiyapples]

Extremely interesting. Well done video.

[@gic8849]

I love this channel so much

[@colehalford1893]

Argentinosaurus was discovered the same year I was born - 1987

[@mleighqs]

Great vid, very interesting :)

[@cjclark2002]

250 to 66m years ago, Mesozoic only partially of that whole time, nerdy correction yes sorry but necessary. 😅

[@michealtaylor7745]

Dinosaurs were here from 135 mya to 65 mya. They were here for 170 million yrs.

[@DomaruAi]

And again with an awesome video! Keep up the good work!

[@ZombieslayerLeena]

I ❤ that you have so many channels & excellent narrators!

[@eastridge09]

Ocean Dinos next plz

[@retard_activated]

Dino criteria means they must have been land dwelling... Just an FYI ☺️

[@TheaSvendsen]

* marine reptiles :)

[@reinereine1896]

I will forever be grateful to you if you cold do a video about the mososarus or monsterx or preferbly both!

[@dynamoterror18]

Sauroposeidon should've been on this list. It has the tallest height of any dinosaur so far known.

[@epic5945]

The sauropods are so cute. They look super friendly.

[@Alberad08]

Interesting video - thank you for sharing! BTW 7:20 found that somewhat monitor-ish sauropod reconstruction pretty remarcable. Can you say something about its origin and what species is depicted there?

[@andrewscoppetta4944]

No he can’t because it’s AI generated. Not just a bot, this is AI creating videos. Absolutely amazing in its own right. Honestly, I’ve seen the creator in the comment section disputing claims that this is AI or a computer generated voice. I don’t buy it. That’s something an AI pretending to be human would do. Until we get a Dinosaur Discovery face reveal, I’m convinced this is AI. Even a face reveal won’t convince me 100%. A lot of these comments are probably from the same AI making the videos. I’m pretty sure I’m responding to one now. I’ll reserve judgment until or if I get a response

[@Alberad08]

Oh boy! Hopefully you're joking! I'm at least not AI. I'm the German composer Josef Mons - you even will find a video here by a musician named Dagmar Wilgo, where she talks about a CD she just had released, containing my piece "Fantasia Prima per un basso solo" and she also talks about knowing me in person since her years at university. @@andrewscoppetta4944

[@joannabaparileszczynska]

Do we know why the area currently known as Argentina has been inhabited by the biggest dinosaurs on earth?

[@karkovice10]

It must've been part of the area where the largest dinosaurs thrived the most. :)

[@retard_activated]

I'm going to venture a pretty simple answer.... The area must have had adequate food and oxygen supplies.... 🤔

[@jandrews6254]

@@retard_activated also plenty of CO2 to facilitate plant growth and regeneration, to cope with the appetites of a herd of hungry herbivores. If elephants are anything to go by, the Dinos would have laid waste to a vast swathe of vegetation as they browsed. The plants would have had to regenerate very rapidly

[@johnshields6852]

The crazy thing is, the biggest creature ever on earth lives today, the blue whale can grow over 100 feet long, if one were to swim in a harbor, closer to shore we could get a reference point to see just how huge that is, a true giant that doesn't get enough attention it deserves.

[@chopperoon1]

It isnt bigger then the biggest sauropod just heavier

[@michealtaylor7745]

@@chopperoon1 Then it's bigger, longer, & heavier. But it needs the water to support its massive weight. Sauropods just walk on land silently, as Elephants & other large mammals.

[@kenyongray2615]

When you combine bulk and length doesn't the nod go to Argentinosaurus? Great information.

[@Defender78]

5:20 why is there a vegetation-covered tower in the back of the brontosaurus

[@joema500]

I'm pretty sure it's from a videogame

[@mattstyles2498]

I cant believe blue whales r still bigger than this

[@chopperoon1]

Not bigger, heavier.

[@jessieramirez8989]

Blue whales only grows to 79ft most of these are like twice that size now if we're talking about weight then yes blue whales are hella heavy

[@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457]

Length still goes to Sauropods.

[@warriorjason2763]

they aren't that tall if we're talking standing on their belly like a four legged animal

[@jamesivie5717]

Great video

[@marcellus_h7930]

Also while Spinosaurus might have been the longest, recent estimates shows that Tyrannosaurus is by far the heaviest theropod dinosaur, up to 11-12 metric tons.

[@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457]

Don't know from where do you guys get this false information. T rex is still said to be 6-8 tonnes in weight. No recent estimate on weight that much.

[@andrewpaige1194]

I’m SO happy whenever anyone points out that EVERY animal we know only from fossils, got bigger(SIGNIFICANTLY bigger)than the largest size we know! Every individual we will EVER find, of ANY animal, statistically HAS to be within their AVERAGE size range! That means the largest individual of any species HAS to be SIGNIFICANTLY larger! If we know spinosaurus were able to get in the high 50’s ft area, u can be SURE the largest individual got over 70ft. (Think of the human avg-under 6ft, but the largest ever was 9ft!) Even modern animals have/will have/had largest individuals being larger than we know of! Especially aquatics! The largest blue whale is/was/will be probably at least 115ft+ if the largest we know of is like 100ft. So Argentinasaurus DEFINITELY got upto 145, 150ft, maybe more! The new largest ichthyosaur, believed by many to have gotten larger than blue whales....since we know from only TWO specimens ever(one jaw bone each, so known by even just 2 partial fossils total!), averged at over 100ft(that’s AVERAGE-average, not even LARGE-average), statistically HAD to have had the largest individual ever reach at least the 150ft area. Titanoboa, which we know from just a single bone of an individual around 45ft, DEFINITELY maxed out at over 60ft. The difference between what we know and the largest size possible, is impossible to say, but again, look at the example for US! Humans! That’s MORE than a 33.3% difference!!!! I very much doubt it’s that big of a diff for most animals, but that COULD be a common amount, and for some animals it was DEFINITELY an even LARGER difference! The fewer individuals we know an animal from, the larger the difference is going to be for the most part, but the amount of individuals from ANY extinct species we could EVER have, is still .00000001%(I have no clue, I’m just driving the point home of how insanely small of a % it really is), so even if we know of an animal from 10,000 individuals(it’s not even CLOSE to that for ANY animal-even trex is only in the low hundreds, maybe only ONE hundred and change), that would still is almost no different than from just a few individuals!). Again, there’s really no way to have any clue, (unless we suddenly find a trex that was like 60ft, or something but that would then mean that 60ft is still within the average range. High-avg, but avg. nonetheless), we just have to go by averages, which aren’t an exact science, but when dealing with numbers like these, it’s more than a safe bet to be able to say certain amounts for SURE! Everyone just think about this- how awesome is it?? How awesome to know we can add on a significant number to the “max size” of all extinct animals! Really, ALL animals, even extant/living ones, but it’s WAY “better” with extinct ones! Personally, I will NEVER get tired of/have the novelty wear off of that fact! Hopefully u guys’ll all remember that, and point it out whenever possible, since it needs to be taken into consideration all the time....WAAAAAAAAAAAAY more than it is. In almost all situations a person says an animal gets “UPTO” or “AS LARGE AS”, and stuff like that, but everyone NEEDS to be saying “can get ____ based on current knowledge, but gets noticeably larger” or “had an AVERAGE size of______, but an unknown maximum of significantly larger”, and say “was the largest land carnivore, given our current information”, and things like that, that are not only not so definitive, but also make this awesome rule understood! Thanks for listening to my crazy long ranting!!!!

[@isaacslein6432]

Robert Wadlow's height was due to a tumor in his pituitary gland. Still, the tallest a human can get without crumbling down under their weight is 7' give or take a few inches(several basketball players and wrestlers like the Great Khali). Not to mention weight, the average Loxodonta africana bull is 10' tall at the shoulder and weighs 6000kg. The largest bull killed was 13' tall at the shoulder(they can raise their heads even higher) and is estimated to have weighed 11000kg. A wild bull Hippopotamus amphibius is 2000kg while large bulls in captivity are said to have achieved 4500kg. I have to me tion that Giganotosaurus carollini did have a massive titanosaur to hunt. This creature is informally called the Candeleros Monster. C. M. is said to have rivaled Argentinosauurs huinculensis in size. Estimates range from 37m to 52m(the latter length is probably with the neck low to the ground) and weigh around 78000kg

[@sociallysatanic]

i love your enthusiasm 😊😂 i'll be keeping this in mind along with the other commenter's addition, and even with that addition, it's exciting to think about. i think we should always keep in mind that in the end we know very little about the Mesozoic era. even when it feels like we've learned so much, there's always more to learn!

[@robertwillis1002]

Who is funding this channel? Great content, but seems to be part of a larger organization. Is this just cut from a TV show?😀

[@jstretch]

Makes me think of overall displacement.

[@chadsmith66]

Any gamers out there? get path of titans for consoles and pc very good dino game

[@thralldumehammer]

What about Ultrasaurus?

[@RajRaja-wo3uu]

SPINOSAURUS isn't the largest THEROPOD. IT is currently the longest but an animal's size is determined by it's mass and T-REX is the largest THEROPOD as IT'S the heaviest..

[@jandrews6254]

Maybe the title of Largest Dinosaur Ever shouldn’t be used, since it gets updated regularly I’d have appreciated some diagrams showing size comparisons

[@williamkirby3552]

The height of Argentinosaurus at 7 meters?

[@RajRaja-wo3uu]

[@Igor-no.rus.]

they were realy huge! Just enourmus.

[@andrewpaige1194]

Are u sure? I want to say that’s definitely not correct, but of course I could be wrong, so I’m just going to say I really THINK thats incorrect...I thought it was SMALLER animals that were more susceptible to extreme weather. Especially if both in a comparison are warm blooded or cold blooded. The larger an animal is, the more stable it’s temperature is. A small animal’s entire body can heat up or cool down, WAY faster than something a thousand times it’s size. Just think about a fridge or oven...the surface area doesn’t matter if the mass is hugely different. 1’ square cube of mass will completely COOK, before 1000’ sq cube of mass even starts getting warmer half an inch under the surface!

[@TheaSvendsen]

I’m thinking they mean that it’s pretty hard for such a huge animal to find shade as opposed to a small one who can just lay beneath a tree or something.

[@oobrocks]

They change who’s biggest dinosaur ydly; I hope this one stays no 1. Shouldn’t there be measured both ways? Weight & length

[@Cableman-hr2uu]

Anyone ever thought of why human beings only dug out dinosaur fossils or bones which they existed many million years ago ? how about all those living things including human beings living on earth between say 10 thousand to a million years ago ? why their bones were never found ??

[@johnshields6852]

A million years, that's a long time, evolution and plate tectonics are so slow it's not something we can see happen, even we are evolving, these giant dinos are of different ages, you have to take that into consideration, these examples might not be fully grown, the largest is tough to say, probably a few were similar in size.

[@scottythetrex5197]

Spinosaurus was not the largest carnivore. That title has gone back to T Rex.

[@brizzle3903]

Nope Trex is not the largest carnivorous dinosaur that title belongs to Giganotosaurus

[@ralphh1462]

​@@brizzle3903no, T-Rex has much more weight.

[@gregorydefeo7369]

Oxygen level was higher then, contributing to their growth.

[@MysteryDryo]

Once again, Spino isn't largest, Giga and Rex are larger, even if those estimates would be accurate, Rex is 8-11 tons

[@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457]

Stop assuming by yourself. T rex was 6-8 tonnes, not 8-11 tonnes.
