It’s like a giraffe!
Brachiosaurus
had longer forelimbs than
hind limbs so its back sloped down to
its hindquarters – rather like a giraffe.
But
Brachiosaurus
could reach two or
three times higher than a giraffe.

Up high
Brachiosaurus
nibbled
leaves at the tops of
trees. Its long neck may
have developed so
Brachiosaurus
could feed
where other plant-eaters
could not reach.
Sauropods had long
tails that helped to
balance their bodies.
