DAILY DINOSAUR

brachiosaurus

The Brachiosaurus weighed nearly 80 tons and was one of the largest animals to ever walk the Earth. They had nostrils on the tops of their heads which made it possible for them to eat and breathe at the same time.

For many decades, Brachiosaurus was the largest dinosaur known. It has since been discovered that a number of giant titanosaurians (Argentinosaurus, for example) surpassed Brachiosaurus in terms of sheer mass.

Brachiosaurus attained sizes of about 25 meters(82 feet) in length and was probably able to raise its head about 13 meters (42 ft) above ground level.
