Skeleton of 82-foot-long dinosaur found in backyard in Portugal

The skeleton of an 82-foot-long dinosaur has been discovered in a man’s backyard in central Portugal.

Experts believe the remains are the largest sauropod dinosaur to be discovered in Europe.

The excavation began when the landowner first noticed fragments of bones on his property in 2017 during construction works.

Palaeontologists from Spain and Portugal have been working on the site in the city of Pombal.
