ONE BIG BOI

ONE BIG BOI

What is the largest non-Sauropod Dinosaur of all time? How big was this animal?

At the moment, that probably goes to a giant hadrosaur like Shantungosaurus, which lived in the Late Cretaceous, about 75 million years ago, in what is now eastern China.

Some specimens get up to around 17m/55ft; its weight has been estimated at 16 tonnes. It was an herbivore; like other hadrosaurs it had a battery of constantly replacing, self-sharpening teeth. And for its size, it’s likely it was still capable of running on two legs!
