Brachiosaurus

Brachiosaurus was an extremely tall dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic period (154-153 Mya). Built for browsing for foliage high above the ground surface, Brachiosaurus is characterized by its long neck and body, small head, and larger forelimbs than hind limbs.

Brachiosaurus is characterized by its long neck and body resulting in a height of 31’-43’ (9.4-13 m), body length of 59’-69’ (18-21 m), and width of 8’-11’ (2.4-3.4 m). A typically Brachiosaurus weighed between 77,000-123,000 lb (35-56 metric tons).

What do reptiles eat?

Reptiles are typically carnivores and feed on eating other animals like insects, mollusks, birds, frogs, mammals, fishes, or sometimes other reptiles. Some reptile species like land tortoises are vegetarians and eat leaves, grass, or cactus while the marine iguana dives into the sea to obtain seaweed for consumption.

Why do reptiles shed?

Reptiles shed their skin so that they can continue to grow. When they shed, reptiles grow a new layer of skin underneath their old skin and then shed their old one. When they shed their skin reptiles also get rid of any parasites during the process. The process of shedding is referred to as sloughing.

When did reptiles first appear?

What causes animals to go extinct?

The factors that cause animals to go extinct are mainly the loss and degradation of habitat which is mainly due to deforestation. Other causes for animals going extinct are exploitation through hunting and overfishing, invasive species, and climate change. Plastic pollution and emerging diseases are also factors that play a role in the extinction of animals.

Can extinct animals be brought back?

Extinct animals have not successfully been brought back as of today. Scientists need to sequence its genome and then edit the DNA of a close living relative to match it. Afterwards, they would need to make embryos with the revised genome and have a surrogate mother carry them.

Which animals have gone extinct because of climate change?

Animals that have gone extinct because of climate change include the golden toad and the north Atlantic cod is threatened. The staghorn coral and orange-spotted filefish have also had their population numbers affected by the effects of climate change. It is up to humans to make the necessary changes and help endangered animal species.
