the authors write.<\/p>\n<p>At the time the Nagatitan roamed the region, the ecosystem&#8217;s largest predator was a relative of the meat-eating dinosaur Carcharodontosaurus, which measured about 26 feet long and weighed about 3.5 tons.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At that size, it was dwarfed by Nagatitan. At full size, Nagatitan likely had very little to fear in terms of predation,&#8221; Sethapanichsakul told the Reuters news agency.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/05\/15\/7b552a90-01f8-4c39-bfbd-cfe9480c9cd4\/thumbnail\/620x827\/d4371e8146d7a5ccf947ff1eb9001835\/2026-05-14t112623z-329132301-rc2xy5a1u9gv-rtrmadp-3-science-dinosaur.jpg#\" alt=\"Meet Nagatitan, Southeast Asia's largest dinosaur \" height=\"827\" width=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/05\/15\/7b552a90-01f8-4c39-bfbd-cfe9480c9cd4\/thumbnail\/620x827\/d4371e8146d7a5ccf947ff1eb9001835\/2026-05-14t112623z-329132301-rc2xy5a1u9gv-rtrmadp-3-science-dinosaur.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/05\/15\/7b552a90-01f8-4c39-bfbd-cfe9480c9cd4\/thumbnail\/1240x1654\/c499aeb268f1a5f28ea466ec8677135a\/2026-05-14t112623z-329132301-rc2xy5a1u9gv-rtrmadp-3-science-dinosaur.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Researcher Thitiwoot Sethapanichsakul poses with a front leg bone of the Nagatitan at the Sirindhorn Museum in Thailand in a photograph released May 14, 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Thitiwoot Sethapanichsakul\/Handout via Reuters<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A life-size reconstruction is on display at Bangkok&#8217;s Thainosaur Museum, according to University College London.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, a dinosaur skeleton <span class=\"link\">uncovered by scientists in northeastern Thailand<\/span> was also deemed to be newly discovered species.
