Scientists identify massive new dinosaur following Thailand dig

Scientists identify massive new dinosaur following Thailand dig

Just read about a huge new dinosaur found in Thailand called Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis! It’s a sauropod, about 27 meters long and weighed as much as 9 elephants. It’s the largest dinosaur ever discovered in Southeast Asia and lived around 100-120 million years ago. Researchers think it was a herbivore that roamed the area before it became a shallow sea. Cool to see how local mythology (Naga) inspired its name. A life-sized model is now in Bangkok’s Thainosaur Museum! https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/5/15/scientists-identify-massive-new-dinosaur-following-thailand-dig

Love that they named it after the Naga mythology. Makes the discovery feel connected to the local culture.
