Brachiosaurus (Brachiosaurus altithorax) moved in herds in much of North America about 150 million years ago. What archaeologists found about this terrestrial animal is that it was an herbivore, feeding on high foliage and extremely mobile. Evidence also shows it resembled a giraffe but was extremely large. The neck and tail were long and muscular. The trunk was large and columnar limbs were slender. However, the forelimbs were longer than the hind limbs. Other unique features were the small skull, wide muzzle, and thick jawbone, making it disproportionate. This warm-blooded dinosaur laid eggs to procreate.
The Brachiosaurus had an overall length between 59’-72.2’ (18-22 m), overall standing height of 41’-49.2’ (12.5-15 m), body width of 10.2’-12.5’ (3.1-3.8 m), and weight from 62,400-103,400 lb (28,300-46,900 kg). The typical lifespan of the Brachiosaurus was between 80-100 years.
