Dreadnought, Largest Dinosaur In The World

At 85 feet long and 65 tons, the newly discovered dinosaur Dreadnoughtus schrani probably didn’t have to worry about predators. Its massive size is the reason researchers decided to name it “fear nothing”—its name recalls the massive battleships, Dreadnoughts, that were built at the turn of the 20th century. ...

It weighed as much as a dozen African elephants or more than seven T. rex. Shockingly, skeletal evidence shows that when this 65-ton specimen died, it was not yet full grown. It is by far the best example we have of any of the most giant creatures to ever walk the planet.

So write the folks over at the Smithsonian's website. When reading about "Dreadnaught" I couldn't but think of this passage from Job:

Look at Behemoth,
which I made along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.
What strength it has in its loins,
what power in the muscles of its belly!
Its tail sways like a cedar;
the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.
Its bones are tubes of bronze,
its limbs like rods of iron.
It ranks first among the works of God... (Job 40:15-19)

I know most people today understand Job to be poetically describing a mighty hippo, but the little boy in me much prefers imagining something like Dreadnoughtus schrani.
