New diplodocus-like dinosaur identified from a fossil in Uzbekistan Jonathan Chadwick For Mailonline © Provided by Daily Mail MailOnline logo Fossils dug up in Uzbekistan reveal a previously-unidentified species of dinosaur that was twice the size of a double decker bus, a new study reveals.  Called Dzharatitanis kingi, the gentle giant measured about 65.6 feet (20 metres) in length and was a cousin of Diplodocus – the largest creature to ever walk the planet.  D. kingi inhabited a coastal plain at the westernmost point of the Asian landmass 100 million years ago when Earth s continents were still bunched together.  The creature had a whip like tail and a long neck, enabling it to reach high into the trees to satisfy its enormous herbaceous appetite.
