Brachiosaurus

Brachiosaurus, whose name signifies "arm reptile," was the giraffe dinosaur of the Jurassic. With its long neck (very nearly 30 feet in length) and tall front legs, this goliath sauropod could nip new shoots from the highest points of trees in excess of 40 feet over the ground.  in case Brachiosaurus were alive today, it could look into fourth story windows. This is the biggest sauropod known from almost complete skeletons. For some scientistss, this is the boss for size. Gauging 50 tons, probably as much as seven elephants, Brachiosaurus was a gigantic dinosaur that needed to take care of continually. The front legs were taller than the back legs, and the tail was generally short.  Brachiosaurus was weighty toward the front and light in the back. the rib confine was gigantic, but since the legs were so tall, the stomach was so distant the  ground that a stegosaurus could stroll under it.

But Hollywood took many liberties with its interpretation of this dinosaur, heavily leveraging the dinosaur's Latin name Velux (swift) and raptor (predator, plunderer)on-screen. The tale begins with a 1922 expedition to the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, when A team of scientists discovered a complete oscilloscope skull and a claw at the American Museum of Natural History. The story continues 50 years later with another discovery.



 A Mongolian Polish team "discovered a well - preserved fossil of a velociraptor fighting another dinosaur in Mongolia in 1971. This specimen showed the claws of a raptor embedded in the head and abdomen." of a Protoceratids. It was a turning point for scientists, in addition to the first significant discoveries of these creatures, and how (and if so) how dinosaurs lived. dinosaurs coexisted during the Late Cretaceous period. Despite its its larger than life persona in the movies, an upright standing Velociraptor was actually about the height of a modern day basketball player approximately 6 feet. It was developed in other areas but lacked its size. 


Most importantly, Velociraptor were intelligent compared to many of their peers. And some secret weapons These were on a quick, two-legged hunt too. First, "it is a retractable claw that can retreat 3.5 inches from an opponent as well as it can injure quickly if lifted 3 foot gash. “Second, there were 80 sharp teeth a few inches length. " A small meat-eating machine, this dinosaur (Velociraptor) ate what it wanted. " Fossil researchers have speculated that the Velociraptor fossils are often found so close to each other that they may have been hunted in packs. " This hunting tactic could lead a small group of raptors to pray on one larger predator with speed and ferocity.
