Brachiosaurus dinosaur
Brachiosaurus dinosaur, artwork. Brachiosaurus was the tallest dinosaur, standing up to 16 metres tall. It could weigh up to 70 tons. Unusually for a dinosaur, its front legs were longer than its hind legs. It is thought that it fed on the high leaves of trees, as giraffes do today. Fossils of Brachiosaurus have been found in North America and Africa. It lived in the late Jurassic period, between 155 and 145 million years ago. It is thought that Brachiosaurus lived in herds, although a fully- grown adult would have had little to fear from predators. In the background, some pterosaurs, flying relatives of the dinosaurs, are seen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Brachiosaurus, a true giant of the prehistoric world. Towering up to an astonishing 16 meters in height and weighing a staggering 70 tons, this herbivorous dinosaur was truly unparalleled in size. What sets it apart from its fellow dinosaurs is its unique anatomy - with front legs longer than its hind legs, it possessed an unmistakable silhouette. Believed to have roamed North America and Africa during the late Jurassic period, between 155 and 145 million years ago, Brachiosaurus was likely a social creature that thrived in herds. Despite its immense size, fully-grown adults had little reason to fear predators due to their formidable stature. In this vivid illustration by Science Photo Library, we see the Brachiosaurus delicately reaching for high leaves on trees reminiscent of modern-day giraffes' feeding habits. The attention to detail is remarkable as pterosaurs gracefully soar through the sky in the background - reminding us of their close kinship with these magnificent creatures. This artwork serves as a testament to our fascination with Earth's ancient past and highlights how scientific discoveries continue to shape our understanding of these awe-inspiring giants. A must-have addition for any paleontology enthusiast or lover of natural history alike!
