Good morning, guys, I'm Hayley with your Newsround update.

:00:00.:00:11.

The skeleton of the biggest dinosaur to walk on Earth has been found.

:00:12.:00:14.

I can fly - the real-life Dumbo taking to the sky.

:00:15.:00:20.

28 world leaders are back round the table again today in Wales

:00:21.:00:23.

for talks about problems in Ukraine, Iraq and Afghanistan.

:00:24.:00:26.

But everyone's still talking about the surprise visit by US President

:00:27.:00:29.

Barack Obama and David Cameron to a small school in Newport yesterday,

:00:30.:00:32.

The most powerful man in the world coming to our North Wales School,

:00:33.:00:50.

great. I told who was coming and she said, can I go and see her? We gave

:00:51.:00:56.

them away, but he was on the other side. What an entourage, an

:00:57.:01:01.

incredible amount of vehicles. Like something in a movie.

:01:02.:01:03.

As well as talking about problems overseas,

:01:04.:01:05.

the powerful leaders are also talking about new ways technology

:01:06.:01:07.

As part of that plan, NATO's spending over ?1 billion on drones

:01:08.:01:11.

They can find out lots of information about people,

:01:12.:01:20.

places and they can help soldiers on the ground.

:01:21.:01:23.

Now check out these amazing new pictures of what it's like

:01:24.:01:25.

Scientists behind the mission have been trying

:01:26.:01:30.

to get a close up look at the infamously red surface and there's

:01:31.:01:33.

And scientists want help to find out what this is?

:01:34.:01:38.

This mushroom-shaped sea animal was found off the coast of Australia

:01:39.:01:42.

But scientists still don't know what category of

:01:43.:01:45.

It's one of only four other things in the last 100 years

:01:46.:01:50.

They hope someone will see the pictures and help them.

:01:51.:01:59.

Next, the baby elephant flying high in a cockpit.

:02:00.:02:04.

Gary Roberts came across a herd of elephants that had been killed

:02:05.:02:07.

The nurse and pilot decided to rescue the only survivor -

:02:08.:02:12.

But the only way to get Max to safety was by flying him home

:02:13.:02:17.

The skeleton of the biggest dinosaur to walk on earth, found in

:02:18.:02:28.

South America, is one of the most complete of its size ever found.

:02:29.:02:31.

The huge fossil is from a dreadnoughtus.

:02:32.:02:35.

Scientists studying it say because almost all the bones are

:02:36.:02:38.

there they can find out even more about this amazing creature.

:02:39.:02:43.

It was bigger than seven T-Rexs, weighed more than 13 elephants

:02:44.:02:46.

and had thigh bones as big as a grown man.

:02:47.:02:51.

This dinosaur is part of a bigger family called titanasours,

:02:52.:02:57.

because they were so big, and lived 77 million years ago.

:02:58.:03:03.

Not a lot is known about them but the discovery

:03:04.:03:05.

of this almost complete skeleton is really helping to shed more light

:03:06.:03:08.

Dreadnoughtus gives us a chance to try and incorporate this new data

:03:09.:03:24.

into understanding the way they walked on the way they held their

:03:25.:03:30.

tail and their body proportions and the relative power of their limbs

:03:31.:03:31.

and their tail. It took four years to uncover

:03:32.:03:32.

the bones and now they are being studied in the lab to find out more

:03:33.:03:35.

about the super-massive creature. Scientists have named it

:03:36.:03:38.

dreadnoughtus Although it was not a meat eater,

:03:39.:03:39.

a dinosaur of this size would have Plus it had a long, powerful, tail

:03:40.:03:45.

which is could use to defend itself. At an estimated 65 tons, this dino

:03:46.:03:53.

has set a new record for the biggest animal to walk the Earth, previously

:03:54.:03:59.

the largest known dinosaur weighed And that's not all, the bones

:04:00.:04:01.

of this animal have showed it wasn't fully grown, so it's likely

:04:02.:04:08.

that its parents were even bigger. And joining me is one of

:04:09.:04:14.

the scientists who actually dug up the dreadnoughtus bones, Dr Victoria

:04:15.:04:19.

Egerton from Manchester University. Thank you so much for joining me.

:04:20.:04:30.

You were there, what was it like to find the dinosaur? It was

:04:31.:04:33.

incredible. Most of the bones were bigger than I was and you had some

:04:34.:04:38.

of the bones actually connected together, so part of the tale was

:04:39.:04:43.

articulated into a nice semicircle. How important is it that you found

:04:44.:04:49.

this dinosaur? Really important, it is one of the most complete of this

:04:50.:04:54.

kind ever discovered. It is about 45% complete, so it can tell us more

:04:55.:05:08.

about the bones intact? It is fairly rare, especially for a dinosaur is

:05:09.:05:12.

large, but there wasn't only one, there were two there. What would it

:05:13.:05:16.

have been like all of those years ago when the dinosaur was alive? It

:05:17.:05:22.

would have been living close to Antarctica and one of the cool

:05:23.:05:26.

things about it is it lived in a herd, not on its own, in groups of

:05:27.:05:33.

20 or even 100, or more. That must have been magnetic and tests to see.

:05:34.:05:38.

This is one of the biggest we have seen, but do you think they could be

:05:39.:05:43.

bigger ones out there? There could be, this individual wasn't fully

:05:44.:05:48.

grown yet, so there may be bigger ones to see. It is hard to imagine,

:05:49.:05:53.

if one of its bones were bigger than you, the whole thing, I can't

:05:54.:05:55.

imagine. Thank you for joining me. That's all from me, Newsround's back

:05:56.:05:58.

right here in about half an hour.
