Argentinosaurus

In Real Life
Argentinosaurus is a genus of giant sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now Argentina. Although it is only known from fragmentary remains, Argentinosaurus is one of the largest known land animals of all time, perhaps the largest, with length estimates ranging from 30 to 40 metres (100 to 130 ft) and weight estimates from 50 to 100 tonnes (55 to 110 short tons). It was a member of Titanosauria, the dominant group of sauropods during the Cretaceous. The first Argentinosaurus bone was discovered in 1987 by a farmer on his farm near the city of Plaza Huincul. A scientific excavation of the site led by the Argentine palaeontologist José Bonaparte was conducted in 1989, yielding several back vertebrae and parts of a sacrum—fused vertebrae between the back and tail vertebrae. Additional specimens include a complete femur (thigh bone) and the shaft of another. Argentinosaurus was named by Bonaparte and the Argentine palaeontologist Rodolfo Coria in 1993; the genus contains a single species, A. huinculensis. The generic name Argentinosaurus means "Argentine lizard", and the specific name huinculensis refers to its place of discovery, Plaza Huincul. The fragmentary nature of Argentinosaurus remains makes their interpretation difficult. Arguments revolve around the position of the recovered vertebrae within the vertebral column and the presence of accessory articulations between the vertebrae that would have strengthened the spine. A computer model of the skeleton and muscles estimated this dinosaur had a maximum speed of 7 km/h (5 mph) with a pace, a gait where the fore and hind limb of the same side of the body move simultaneously. The fossils of Argentinosaurus were recovered from the Huincul Formation, which was deposited in the middle Cenomanian to early Turonian ages (about 96 to 92 million years ago) and contains a diverse dinosaur fauna including the giant theropod Mapusaurus.

In Prehistory
Argentinosaurus is currently the biggest animal in the history of the game, dwarfing the previously largest Andesaurus. Argentinosaurus is practically invincible, only beaten by packs of large theropods or megapacks of Tier 5s or 4s. It attacks with its tail, making it considerably more convenient to play than its smaller counterpart, Andesaurus. Despite being slow and sporting a poor turn radius, Argentinosaurus boasts 140k health. It has no real natural predators, however it is only accessible to Mesozoic Superstars purchasers. It is overall a very powerful and viable dinosaur.

Pros

 * Most health in Prehistory ever
 * Can 2-5 shot apexes depending on where you strike them
 * Decent Hunger/Thirst time
 * Decent defense

Cons

 * Very slow
 * Open to attacks from strategic packs
 * Possibly the worst turn rate in the game
