Dinosaurs of South America Outlived North Giants
Sauropods like Apatosaurus were massive land animals weighing up to 50 tons and considered giants yet herbivores. By 150 million years ago they died out in the North, while in the Southern Hemisphere they continued to dominate for millions more. In the last decade South American paleontologists have found dinosaurs larger than North American sauropods.

Matt Lamanna Discovers Three New Dinosaur Species
Paleontologist Dr. Matt Lamanna helped identify three new dinosaur species including Parasititan, one of the largest ever found at about 45 tons.
