Prompt used to create the image
Scientifically accurate paleoart of Brachiosaurus, a herbivore Brachiosauridae dinosaur from the Late Jurassic (about 155–145 million years ago). Front legs longer than the hind legs so the back slopes down from high shoulders to the hips, like a giraffe. A very long neck held raised upward at a steep angle. Reference: Brachiosaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Jurassic, about 155.6 to 145.5 million years ago. It was first described by American paleontologist Elmer S. Riggs in 1903 from fossils found in the Colorado River valley in western Colorado, United States. Riggs named the dinosaur Brachiosaurus altithorax; the generic name is Greek for "arm lizard", in reference to its proportionately long arms, and the specific name means "deep chest". Brachiosaurus is estimated to have been between 18 and 22 meters long; body mass estimates of the subadult holotype specimen range from 28.3 to 46.9 metric tons. Anatomy: a small head with a bony arch over the nose in front of the eyes; pillar-like legs; front feet are columns with a single thumb claw; a relatively short tail held off the ground. Full body in side view, whole animal visible, standing in a semi-arid Late Jurassic floodplain like the Morrison Formation of western North America, with conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, tree ferns and ferns along a river, no grass and no flowering plants. Natural history museum illustration style, realistic textures and natural daylight, muted natural colors. No text, no labels, no humans, no modern objects.

Brachiosaurus
Name meaning: Means "arm lizard", because its front legs were longer than its back legs.
📏 Up to 12–13 m tall, like a four-storey building; its neck alone was longer than a whole giraffe.

Pin Brachiosaurus on the globe
Brachiosaurus was a long-necked plant-eater whose front legs were longer than its hind legs, so its body sloped upward like a giraffe's and it could reach leaves high in the trees.
Fun facts
- Brachiosaurus had a tall bony arch over its nose. People once thought its nostrils sat on top of its head, but they were most likely near the tip of the snout.
- Its neck alone was long enough to peek into a third-floor window.
Who lived alongside it
Dinosaurs found in the same rock formation as Brachiosaurus (Morrison), so they lived in the same region at roughly the same time.
