(New drawing so at the bottom of the Cretaceous Period list under All Printables button)
Austroposeidon was one of the Titanosaurs. But it was not from Argentina like many of the other South American Titanosaurs. It lived in what is now Brazil. It is estimated to have been 82 feet or 25 meters long. It probably weighed between 28 and 58 metric tonnes. That is 31 to 64 short tons.
This dinosaur was smaller than the other known gigantic South American Sauropods. Still. . . it was huge. It was way larger than any known land animal living today. For comparison, Patagotitan was possbily 69 metric tonnes or 76 short tons. 76 short tons would be 152,000 lbs or 68,946 kg.
Argentinosaurus was possibly just smaller than Patagotitan.
The cycad tree that is about to be eaten, in the above drawing, would have to be awfully tall. . . that, or the dinosaur is an adolescent. One more thing, the Pterosaur in the above drawing is also from South America and also from the Cretaceous Period. It is called Aerotitan.
The below drawings are older drawings so they are higher up on the printables lists. By the way, the Paleontology button and the All Printables button will get you the printable versions of the drawings.
