Brachiosaurus (brak-ee-oh-sore-us) meaning “Arm Lizard,” lived during the Late Jurassic period, approximately 163 to 143 million years ago. The Brachiosaurus name is derived from its giraffe-like stance, with its front legs being longer than its back legs. One of the largest land animals, this sauropod was over 40 feet tall, 85 feet long and could weigh up to 80 tons. With its long neck and long front legs, Brachiosaurus was able to eat from the tops of the tallest trees, consuming massive amounts of vegetation. Found in Tanzania near the East Coast of Africa, and North America.
