Brachiosaurus altithorax
Description:
Brachiosaurus was a massive, long-necked herbivore that lived during the late Jurassic period, around 154 to 153 million years ago. Distinguished by its unusually long front legs and towering neck, Brachiosaurus could reach vegetation that other herbivores couldn’t, feeding from tall trees like conifers. Weighing up to 60 tons and reaching lengths of over 85 feet, it was one of the largest land animals to ever walk the Earth. Brachiosaurus's impressive height allowed it to browse treetops while standing upright, unlike many other sauropods that had to lower their heads to feed.
