DINOSAUR — Brachiosaurus

Brachiosaurus lived in what is North America today during the late jurassic era. This dinosaur, along with many other Sauropods, is known to be one of the largest animals that ever walked the earth.

Characteristic of Brachiosaurus is of course its long neck which accounts for more than half its body length. An astonishing fact is that the cervical vertebrae of this dinosaur were not larger than those of other sauropods, but three times as long as the dorsal vertebrae. In comparison with its long neck, the head of Brachiosaurus was almost tiny.
