Supersaurus (meaning "super lizard") is a genus of diplodocid sauropod dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Jurassic period. The type species , S. vivianae , was first discovered by Vivian Jones of Delta, Colorado , in the middle Morrison Formation of Colorado in 1972.
Some diplodocids, such as Supersaurus and Diplodocus [25] [7] may have exceeded Argentinosaurus in length despite being considerably less massive. [12] [26] The mass of the blue whale, however, which can be greater than 150 tonnes (170 short tons), [27] [28] still exceeds that of all known sauropods. [7]
The blue whale is the largest mammal of all time, with the longest known specimen being 33 m (108.3 ft) long and the heaviest weighted specimen being 190 tonnes. [ 15 ] [ 60 ] [ 61 ] The extinct whale species Perucetus colossus was shorter than the blue whale, at 17.0–20.1 meters (55.8–65.9 ft) but it is estimated to have rivaled or ...
The blue whale is the largest animal on Earth and likely the largest animal ever to have lived. While this ocean mammoth is dubbed “blue,” its color is more a reflection of the water it swims ...
The heaviest blue whale on record weighed 190 metric tons (190 long tons; 210 short tons), [12] and the heaviest dinosaur known from reasonably good remains, Argentinosaurus, weighed 80 to 100 metric tons (79 to 98 long tons; 88 to 110 short tons), although if the size estimates can be validated, it could still be lighter than Bruhathkayosaurus ...
Meanwhile, 'mega-sauropods' such as Bruhathkayosaurus has long been scrutinized due to controversial debates on its validity, but recent photos re-surfacing in 2022 have legitimized it, [28] allowing for more updated estimates that range between 110–170 tons, rivaling the blue whale in size. [29]
33 meters – length of a blue whale, [127] the largest animal on earth, living or extinct, in terms of mass; 39 meters – length of a Supersaurus, the longest-known dinosaur and longest vertebrate [128] 52 meters – height of Niagara Falls [33] 55 meters – length of a bootlace worm, the longest-known animal [129]
An underwater photographer who got up close and personal with a massive blue whale says the experience left him feeling awestruck — and incredibly small. Stunning photo shows diver's close ...
