It's a large plant eater, like a brachiosaurus, and it's named Patagotitan mayorum, after the region where it was found, Greek Titans of myth, and the family who hosted the paleontologists who discovered it.

Looks very cool; they gave its weight - 65 tons - but not its length.  Wonder how long it stretched out?

That is a VERY large critter.
Wonder if they were good eatin'?

It probably tastes like the world's biggest chicken.
