Most Complete Titanosaur Dinosaur | Dreadnoughtus | The Living Dreadnought

Sauropods – or long necks – were the largest things to ever walk the face of the earth. Nothing else has come close. Whether that’s because something evolves to curb them before they reach the same size as the long-necked dinosaurs or that the sauropods were just built different the fact remains that nothing existed before or after them that could compete. The only critters to beat out the land titans are the oceanic leviathans, but that’s water – they’re cheating. Each new sauropod dinosaur discovered helps to understand the group as a whole as every single one is fragmentary with very few considered relatively complete. One of these well-preserved behemoths was yet another South American beast from the Late Cretaceous. Come and join me in learning about one of the most complete of the titanosaurs – Dreadnoughtus, the living citadel. __________________________________________________________________ Art in Thumbnail belongs to - __________________________________________________________________ ✅Cameron ✅ ✅Adam Midzuk ✅ __________________________________________________________________ ✅ PATREON ✅ ✅ STICKERS & SHIRTS ✅ ✅Facebook: ✅Twitter: ✅Instagram: @edgeonthetrail ✅ MUSIC ✅ “The Most Extreme” - PastEonsProductions “Chozo Ruins Theme” - Metroid Zero Mission Music “Carni Jam” - Carnivores Cityscape “Eddies Back” - Limitless OST “Discovery” - Scott Buckley “Genesis” - Scott Buckley “Life in Silico” - Scott Buckley “March of Midnight” - Scott Buckley “Luminance” - Scott Buckley “Horizons” - Scott Buckley “Midsommar” - Scott Buckley “A Drift Among Infinite Stars” - Scott Buckley “Beyond These Walls” - Scott Buckley “What We Don’t Say” - Scott Buckley “Beautiful Oblivion” - Scott Buckley “In Search of Solitude” - Scott Buckley “This Too Shall Pass” - Scott Buckley “Aurora” - Scott Buckley “Dark Night” - Karl Casey “Black Rainbows” - Karl Casey “Jake Chudnow” - Moon Men “An Ode to Vaporwave” “Resort Vaporwave” “Culkicephalus Cove” - Taung Child “Europan Necturus” - Taung Child “Placoderm” - Taung Child “Sunflower” - Taung Child “Where To” - Birocratic “Unproductive Meetings” - Birocratic “Malia” - Great Bear “The Most Extreme CGI Music” - Diario’s Music “Frequency” - Jingle Punks __________________________________________________________________ If I’ve used something on my video that you don’t want me to use, PLEASE EMAIL ME first before flagging a video, I’m very reasonable and will take the video down to replace whatever image or video belongs to you.
