Researchers have officially identified Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis, a massive dinosaur that has stomped its way into the record books as the largest ever found in Southeast Asia.

They refer to it as ‘the last titan' of Thailand, as it was discovered in Thailand's youngest dinosaur-bearing rock formation.

The fossilised remains included a spine, ribs, a pelvis, and leg bones, including a front leg bone. The Nagatitan, roughly around 27,000 kg, measured 88 from snout to tail.
