Scientists in South Africa have discovered a new species of a giant dinosaur called Ledumahadi mafube, a plant-eating dinosaur whose name means “giant thunderclap at dawn.”
Ledumahadi mafube was the largest land animal on Earth when it lived, likely weighing 24,000 pounds. That’s twice the size of a large African elephant! It lived nearly 200 million years ago during the Jurassic Period alongside the Brachiosaurus, Brontosaurus and Stegosaurus.
This is actually really cool I’m writing an essay about this for my science class.
