Scientists have discovered the fossilized remains of a new long-necked, long-tailed dinosaur — the dreadnoughtus — that has taken the crown for largest terrestrial animal. Above is an artist’s rendering. (Mark A. Klinger, Getty Images/Handout)
Re: “New dinosaur Dreadnoughtus was 65 tons and growing,” Sept. 5 news story.
Your article on the newly discovered dreadnoughtus dinosaur asserts that its great size would make it predator-proof. I fear the author is not taking pack behavior into account. A lone wolf won’t mess with a bison, but half a dozen of them can take him down and have a family feast. I think a 65-ton plant eater would have a hard time dealing with a pack of T. Rexes!
