11:42 minutes
Researchers uncovered the fossilized bones of a dinosaur called Dreadnoughtus schrani, which had a 30-foot-long tail and weighed an estimated 65 tons. Paleontologist Kenneth Lacovara discusses the diverse group of Titanosaurs—which might have been the largest land creatures to roam the earth—and examines how this particular dino could have moved around the landscape.
Ken Lacovara is Dean of the School of Earth and Environment and Director of the Jean and Ric Edelman Fossil Park at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey.
