Brachiosaurus was one of the tallest dinosaurs, standing about 12 to 15 metres (39 to 49 feet) tall at the shoulder. It measured 18 to 22 metres (59 to 72 feet) in length and weighed between 28 and 47 tonnes.

Brachiosaurus lived during the late Jurassic period, around 154 to 150 million years ago. It roamed what is now North America, particularly in areas like Colorado and Wyoming, within the Morrison Formation.

The first Brachiosaurus was discovered in 1900 by Elmer S. Riggs in Colorado, USA. It was named Brachiosaurus altithorax, with 'altithorax' meaning 'deep chest' due to its robust build.

Famous for its long neck, up to 9 metres (30 feet) in length, Brachiosaurus used it to reach high vegetation. Unlike most sauropods, its forelimbs were longer than its hind limbs, creating a giraffe-like slope.

As a herbivore, Brachiosaurus ate plants like ferns, conifers, and cycads. Its height allowed it to browse treetops, possibly including early flowering plants, without competition from shorter dinosaurs.

Brachiosaurus had a small skull with nostrils on top of its head. Recent studies suggest its nostrils were not for snorkelling but for smell and breathing, much like modern animals.

It belongs to the Brachiosauridae family. A close relative is Giraffatitan from Tanzania, often mistaken for Brachiosaurus in popular media like Jurassic Park.

Though massive, Brachiosaurus could likely move at speeds up to 10-15 km/h (6-9 mph). It may have lived in herds for protection, and its tail was shorter than many sauropods.

Brachiosaurus went extinct at the end of the Jurassic due to environmental changes. Today, it's a symbol of prehistoric giants, inspiring museums and films worldwide.
