00:00A dinosaur once walked on land so huge, it could rival a blue whale in length, not heavier.
00:06The blue whale still wins by weight.
00:08That animal was Patagotiton, a giant plant-eating dinosaur from what is now Argentina.
00:14It lived around 100 million years ago and was among the biggest land animals ever known.
00:20Its body stretched roughly 122 feet, or about 37 meters.
