The fossilised skeleton of the biggest dinosaur ever to roam the planet was discovered near Plaza Huincul, in the badlands of northwest Patagonia. Argentinosaurus huinculensis was a herbivore that weighed the equivalent of over 20 adult elephants, stood as tall as a three-storey building, and stretched to 125ft (38m) in length. It existed 90 million years ago, when the Andes were hillocks and the arid badlands of North Patagonia were steamy jungle and lush savannah grassland.
