Nature and science facts about Brachiosaurus
Brachiosaurus was a giant about 21–26 m long and weighing 30–56 tons. Its most striking feature was that its front legs were longer than its back legs, so its back rose up high in front like a giraffe's and its neck naturally pointed upward. Its bones were hollow and light with air sacs like a bird's, and each day it stripped and ate about 400 kg of plants with its spoon-shaped teeth.
