Thailand unearths Southeast Asia's largest dinosaur, Nagatitan

Paleontologists in Thailand have discovered the largest dinosaur ever found in Southeast Asia, a plant-eating sauropod named Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis. This colossal creature, measuring 27 meters (88 feet) long and weighing as much as nine adult elephants, roamed the region between 100 and 120 million years ago. Its discovery in one of the youngest dinosaur-bearing rock formations in Thailand suggests it may be the last of its kind found in the region. AI
