Summary
| Description |
English: Brachiosaurus is a sauropod from the Late Jurassic of North America. Unlike most sauropods, it had longer forelimbs than hindlimbs, giving it its name. This resulted in a steeply inclined posture, and a proportionally shorter tail. The nasal openings were large and located on the top of the skull, which originally caused paleontologists to assume their nostrils were likewise on top of the head. More recent research suggests the fleshy nostrils would have been in a more forward position, toward the front of the snout. Brachiosaurus is estimated to have been about 20 m long, weighing up to 50 t. It was likely a high browser, consuming vegetation as high as 9 m off the ground. |
