The largest of the famous dinosaurs can now be explored in virtual reality.

Many millions of years ago, dinosaurs walked the Earth. Large and small, herbivores and predators. Among all other dinosaurs known to science, titanosaurus is particularly notable. Wikipedia says the following about this wonderful creature: “Titanosaur is a genus of herbivorous lizard-like dinosaurs from the titanosaur family of the suborder sauropods who lived in the late Cretaceous period (about 70 million years ago) in what is now Asia, Africa, Europe and South America. The length reached 40 meters. He was close to Saltazavr.

Scientists have known about the existence of huge dinosaurs for a long time, since as early as 1871 dinosaur remains were discovered, which did not fit any known lizard, and were simply gigantic. And in 2014, a well-preserved skeleton of the largest titanosaurus dinosaur known to paleontologists was found in Argentina. He lived more than 90 million years ago, and its length reached about 40 meters. The monster weighed in (fairly peaceful, I guess) about 77 tons. Now scientists have created a computer model of this titanosaur, you can study it with the help of VR glasses, if you have them. Well, for example, the same Google Cardboard.

The dinosaur skeleton is located in the American Museum of Natural History, a virtual copy of the animal was created by the efforts of experts from the BBC. The video is accompanied by comments by the famous writer, popularizer of science and the leading BBC documentaries David Attenborough.

Attenborough talks about what the animal was, what it ate and how it existed in the conditions of the ancient Earth. For example, the dinosaur's heart was three times larger than the scientist himself, and pumped about 90 liters of blood at a time. The model makes it possible to study both the details of the structure of the dinosaur's skeleton, and to look at its model "live".

If you live in the UK, you can watch a full-length program called Attenborough and the Giant Dinosaur.
