    Default Dinosaurs 'much lighter than previously thought'

    Dinosaurs 'much lighter than previously thought'

    Dinosaurs are much lighter than previously thought, with some weighing less than half what one might expect, scientists believe.



    Producing a formula to accurately calculate the animal’s dimensions, they found a Brachiosaur, estimated to be as heavy as 80 tons, would actually have weighed a relatively light 23 tons


    The enormous animals are traditionally portrayed as monstrously heavy, with thundering footsteps and a huge bulk adding to their fearsome appearance.

    But experts at the University of Manchester have now found they are far lighter than previously

    Maybe they were really Aryans, like the Egyptians.

    Maybe they were really Icke's Reptilians and not actual dinosaurs.
