Brachiosaurus dinosaur skeleton
Brachiosaurus dinosaur skeleton. Model of a Brachiosaurus skeleton. This was the tallest dinosaur, standing up to 16 metres tall. It could weigh up to 70 tons. Unusually for a dinosaur, its front legs were longer than its hind legs. It is thought that it fed on the high leaves of trees, as giraffes do today. Fossils of Brachiosaurus have been found in North America and Africa. It lived in the late Jurassic period, between 155 and 145 million years ago. It is thought that Brachiosaurus lived in herds, although a fully-grown adult would have had little to fear from predators. In the background, some pterosaurs, flying relatives of the dinosaurs, are seen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Brachiosaurus dinosaur skeleton, a true marvel of prehistoric life. Towering at an astonishing height of up to 16 meters, this herbivorous giant weighed a staggering 70 tons. What sets the Brachiosaurus apart from its fellow dinosaurs is its unusually long front legs, surpassing even its hind legs in length. Believed to have roamed North America and Africa during the late Jurassic period, approximately 155 to 145 million years ago, Brachiosaurus was undoubtedly a sight to behold. It is thought that these gentle giants formed herds as they grazed on high tree leaves, much like modern-day giraffes. In this remarkable image, we not only witness the skeletal remains of this awe-inspiring creature but also catch glimpses of pterosaurs soaring through the ancient skies. These flying relatives of dinosaurs add an extra layer of intrigue and wonder to our understanding of prehistoric ecosystems. The fossilized bones depicted here are testament to the incredible work carried out by paleontologists and researchers in unraveling Earth's history. This print serves as a reminder of our planet's rich past and offers us a glimpse into a time when colossal reptiles ruled supreme. Captivatingly captured by Science Photo Library, this stunning piece invites us to reflect on the grandeur and diversity that once thrived in our world millions of years ago.
