Scientists in Thailand report the discovery of what they describe as Southeast Asia’s largest dinosaur fossil. Multiple outlets say the dinosaur is a long-necked, herbivorous type identified from remains unearthed during excavation work. Free Malaysia Today cites a study in *Scientific Reports* describing the animal as reaching about 27 metres in length (around 88 feet) and weighing roughly 27 tonnes. The Independent and India Today characterize the find as the largest dinosaur fossil unearthed in the region, highlighting the scale of the specimen relative to other Southeast Asian discoveries. While the coverage varies in wording and emphasis, all accounts focus on the same core elements: the excavation in Thailand, the identification of a massive long-necked dinosaur, and the reported approximate size metrics attributed to the species in the research. The fossil discovery is presented as a new addition to the region’s paleontological record, and the findings are linked to the published scientific report.
