welcome to Patagonia in southern
Argentina 69 million years ago South
America and Antarctica were connected so
what did this part of the world look

are unearthing a new species of
titanosaur one of the largest dinosaurs

but now you've probably noticed the

half a ton of vegetation a day and these
animals got huge to see just how big the
biggest titanosaur was play Nova's polar
lab
