Scientists Discover Southeast Asia's Largest Dinosaur in Thailand, Shedding Light on Prehistoric Ecosystems
Researchers have unearthed the skeletal remains of Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis, the largest-known dinosaur from Southeast Asia, in Thailand's Chaiyaphum province. This dinosaur, a member of the sauropod lineage, was approximately 90 feet long and weighed between 25 to 28 tons. The discovery includes spine, rib, pelvis, and leg bones, with a humerus measuring 5.8 feet long. Nagatitan lived around 113 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period in a subtropical climate with forests and savanna-like habitats. It coexisted with other dinosaurs and flying reptiles called pterosaurs. The ecosystem's largest predator was a relative of the Carcharodontosaurus, but Nagatitan's massive size likely protected it from predation.
