The American Museum of Natural History's famed T. Rex and iconic blue whale have long been the leading draws at the beloved museum, but now a new creature's come to town—and it's totally massive!
Titanosaur joins the fossil ranks as a 122-foot cast, and allegedly (in its years as a live critter on earth) weighed around 70 tons...as much as ten African elephants. It's so big that it couldn't even fit in the gallery, and part of its 39-foot-long neck extends out towards the elevator banks.
Little paleontologists will also love the fact that there are five original fossils on temporary view with the Titanosaur (a femur, humerus, ulna, radius and scapula), so visitors can actually see some of the real thing. Titanosaur was excavated in the desert near La Flecha, which is 135 miles west of Trelew, Patagonia.
