Very Large (20+ Meters) Dinosaurs (16 Results)
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.

Euhelopus zdanskyi
Description:
Euhelopus zdanskyi was a large, long-necked herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period, around 130 to 112 million years ago. It is one of the few sauropods discovered in Asia, specifically in China. Euhelopus had a graceful, elongated neck, and its forelimbs were longer than its hindlimbs, giving it a distinctive posture compared to other sauropods. It likely fed on tall vegetation, similar to Brachiosaurus, and could reach leaves high in the trees. This dinosaur represents an important link in the evolution of sauropods in Asia.

Tyrannosaurus Rex
Description:
Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the most famous dinosaurs, was a massive predator that roamed North America during the late Cretaceous period, about 68 to 66 million years ago. Standing up to 40 feet long and 12 feet tall at the hips, this carnivorous dinosaur had an enormous skull with powerful jaws lined with sharp teeth. Despite its relatively small arms, its strong legs allowed it to be a formidable hunter, capable of taking down large prey. The T. rex was likely both a predator and a scavenger, playing a key role in its ecosystem.
Period: Cretaceous
Diet: Carnivore

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus
Description:
Spinosaurus was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs, surpassing even Tyrannosaurus rex in size, and lived during the Cretaceous period about 112 to 93 million years ago. Characterized by the large sail-like structure on its back, made from elongated vertebrae, Spinosaurus was unique among theropods due to its semi-aquatic lifestyle. It likely hunted both on land and in water, preying on fish and small dinosaurs. Its long, narrow snout and conical teeth were perfect for catching slippery prey, while its sail may have been used for thermoregulation or display.

Giganotosaurus carolinii
Description:
Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the most famous dinosaurs, was a massive predator that roamed North America during the late Cretaceous period, about 68 to 66 million years ago. Standing up to 40 feet long and 12 feet tall at the hips, this carnivorous dinosaur had an enormous skull with powerful jaws lined with sharp teeth. Despite its relatively small arms, its strong legs allowed it to be a formidable hunter, capable of taking down large prey. The T. rex was likely both a predator and a scavenger, playing a key role in its ecosystem.
