One of the largest known species of sauropod ??the long-necked, long-tailed variety ??its forelimbs were longer than its rear ones. Brachiosaurus measured around 25 metres long and was a high grazer, probably able to feed off trees at heights of up to 13 metres. Only one species in known, B. alithorax. The male is distinguished from the female in this illustration by a colourful wattle.
