Chinese paleontologists and colleagues from Brazil have discovered two new species of giant dinosaurs, both twice the size of a bus, that lived in northwestern China in the Taklamakan Desert about 130 million years ago.
The massive new dinosaurs, which were twice the length of the bus, were named Hamititan xinjiangensis and Silutitan sinensis, after the region of Hame where their remains were found and the Silk Road, respectively. The reconstruction made it possible to establish their size - one dinosaur was 20 meters long, and the second was 17 meters, and they weighed about 40 and 35 tons.
