Scientists identified an entirely new species of giant dinosaur from a single vertebra found in Thailand. The discovery proves that mamenchisaurid sauropods roamed Southeast Asia 143 million years ago.
Scientists in Argentina have discovered a new species of long-necked dinosaur that roamed Patagonia 150 million years ago. The find helps unlock secrets about how these giants evolved differently in the southern hemisphere.
University of Liverpool researchers used 3D models to discover how sauropod dinosaurs evolved from small, two-legged creatures into the largest land animals ever, revealing a 200-million-year transformation driven by increasingly longer necks. The findings explain why these gentle giants survived longer than any other dinosaur group.
Scientists in Thailand discovered a 27-metre sauropod nicknamed "the last titan" that roamed the region before rising seas transformed the landscape forever. The remarkably complete skeleton gives researchers their best window yet into Southeast Asia's prehistoric giants.

A pile of bones spotted by a local resident near a Thai pond in 2016 turned out to be a 27-ton, 89-foot sauropod—the biggest dinosaur ever discovered in Southeast Asia. After nearly a decade of careful excavation and analysis, scientists have confirmed the new species and named it Nagatitan, honoring both Thai mythology and the region's ancient past.
A Thai resident spotted odd rocks by a pond in 2016 that turned out to be bones from a 27-meter-long dinosaur weighing as much as nine elephants. Scientists just named this giant Nagatitan, possibly the largest dinosaur ever found in Asia.
New fossils from New Mexico prove dinosaurs were flourishing in diverse ecosystems right until the asteroid struck, overturning a century of scientific belief that they were already dying out. The discovery includes 30-ton giants walking Earth just 380,000 years before extinction.
Scientists in Thailand just named a colossal new dinosaur species that weighed as much as nine elephants and may be the last giant to have walked Southeast Asia. The discovery is putting Thailand on the global paleontology map and inspiring a new generation of researchers.
A local villager's curiosity about odd rocks near a pond led to the discovery of a 113-million-year-old giant that could rewrite what we know about dinosaurs in Asia. The newly named Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis weighed as much as nine elephants and stretched longer than a blue whale.
Scientists in Thailand have identified a massive new dinosaur species that weighed as much as nine elephants and stretched nearly 90 feet long. The discovery gives us our best look yet at the giants that roamed Southeast Asia over 100 million years ago.
Scientists in Thailand have identified a new species of giant dinosaur that stretched as long as three city buses and weighed as much as nine elephants. The discovery rewrites what we know about prehistoric giants in Southeast Asia.

Scientists discovered a 190-million-year-old dinosaur in China that reveals how plant-eating giants evolved their famous long necks. The 30-foot Xiangyunloong fengming shows an alternative path to gigantism that rewrites what we knew about these prehistoric titans.
A paleontologist who dreamed of naming a dinosaur as a kid just identified a 27-ton giant from his homeland Thailand. The discovery fulfills a childhood promise and opens new chapters in Southeast Asian prehistory.
Scientists just discovered Thailand's largest dinosaur ever, a 30-ton giant that reveals why some dinosaurs grew so massive. The find shows warm climates helped create perfect conditions for supersized herbivores.
A shepherd in Argentina stumbled upon a bizarre giant dinosaur that scientists say is filling crucial gaps in our understanding of how prehistoric titans evolved. The 155-million-year-old fossil is the first of its kind found in South America's Jurassic period.
Scientists in Thailand just identified a 27-ton, 89-foot dinosaur that roamed the region 100 million years ago. The colossal plant eater, now named Nagatitan, is the biggest dinosaur ever discovered in Southeast Asia and fulfills one researcher's childhood dream.
