No but it's the heaviest.

Biggest means heaviest, but it's neither.

The author himself said it isn't the biggest dinosaur, but the biggest they could actually weigh. There are much bigger ones out there who are too fragmentary and can't be weighed probably.

Okay I don't know what books you've been reading but heaviest means and I'm quoting from the dictionary here 'Of great weight; hard to lift or carry' not size, weight. The only time the word heavy is used to describe physical size is by quantity. I.e heavy snowstorm or 'a heavy amount of ...'

What you or me believes size to be doesn't matter, as it's not the biggest dinosaur AND not the heaviest. Dreadnoughtus is only 26 meters long, while the other titanosaur discovered this year is 36-40 meters long, and the inflated 65-ton estimative for Dreadnoughtus is still less than the 80 tons of larger animals.

I have never once mentioned size in any of my replies nor was it in my description. As for being the heaviest I guess I did overstep the superlative on that one. I'll fix that.

Thanks. I really wanted to emphasize on the largeness.
