Meet Patagotitan mayorum- the largest creature ever to walk the Earth. The average weight of these behemoths was 76 tons, or 152,000 pounds, which is nearly the weight of the Space Shuttle, or 10 African elephants. A typical Patagotitan mayorum measured about 112 feet long (37 meters), which is 70 percent the width of a football field. The top of its shoulder reached 20 feet high (6 meters), or about four humans stacked on top of each other’s shoulders.
Still the record holder for weight - the Blue Whale which are about 98 feet long and can weigh up to 200 tons (400,000 lbs)
