Dinosaurs might be on a lot of people’s minds after a new
dinosaur was discovered last week in Canada.
The Regaliceratops peterhewsi
was nicknamed Hellboy after the
fictional comic book character because of how its stubby horns resembled the
character and how difficult it was to get it out of the rock. It lived 68
million years ago in what is now Alberta.
In honour of the latest dinosaur discovery, and with the
upcoming release of Jurassic World, here’s
a list of the Top 10 biggest dinosaurs that once walked the Earth, according to

fully-grown polar bear weighs approximately one ton. Also keep in mind that
with new discoveries all the time, this list is subject to change.
10. Diplodocus - This
was also one of the longest dinosaurs. Diplodocus lived in the late Jurassic period
(155.7 million to 150.8 million years ago) and usually roamed in western North
America. The estimated mass of the dinosaur is 16.3 tons.
