The series of the ‘Jurassic Park’ movies have allowed us to fantasize what the size of a dinosaur could have been. If that was horrifying, then think of the ‘real life’ 82-foot behemoths, bones of which have been found recently in Australia!
The bone-finds reveal the real size of the largest found dinosaurs that ever romped over the island.
The biggest of the fossilized bones from the two titanosaurs bones is a ‘humerus’ from a foreleg, measuring 5 feet long, with a weight of 220 pounds! Excited with the find, the Queensland Museum curator Scott Hocknull told reporters,
These are the largest bones ever discovered in Australia. They (the two behemoths) would have been about two buses in length.
The two behemoths are nicknamed ‘Cooper and George.’
The bone-finds reveal that the animals were about 23 feet longer compared to what was reported about the previously found biggest titanosaur. Remains of it were unearthed in 1999 in Australia, also in Queensland.
If you are excited about watching the bones, visit the Queensland Museum as they were put on display for the first time there on Thursday.
