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. The long neck and front legs look like the body of a giraffe, and it is concei

Apatosaurus

 Apatosaurus moved constantly feeding day and night when they walked, because each adult weighed as much as five adult elephants.

the idea of a thundering walker gave Brontosaurus its name, which means "thunderlizard." the name Apatosaurus was used first for this dinosaur, so it 

is the correct name," But the literal meaning of its name, "deceitful reptile," is difficult to apply to this giant. with as shoulder height of 12 feet, 

a length of about 70 feet, and a weight of 30 tone, this peaceful herbivore could neither hide nor disappear into the background.



like its close relatives Diplodocus, Barosaurus, and Supersaurus, this sauropod had a small bead; a long slender neck; and a deep, heavy midsection. it 

also had legs built like pillars and a long heavy tail that ended in a slender whip Apatosaurus possessed elephant like "toes "at the bottom of hefty, thick pillar-shaped

limbs. A long, whipping tail held together with 82 bones extended from the dinosaur's 24.6-ton body. At the front was a long, musculer neck capped off by a tiny head, not

unlike that of a modern horse, but full of pegged teeth. The small jaws and head of Apatosaurus have puzzled scientists for decades, since it would seem biologically

impossible size and weight to feed itself properly through such a small orifice. paleontologists suspect the dinosaur must have eaten all day.

After hours of feasting on tree leaves, ferns, shrubs, cycads, conifers, ginkgo's and other plants that were prevalent during the Late Jurassic, Apatosaurus probably 

waded in water to cool off and to kill parasites before taking brief, then likely standing naps. the eating phase then likely started all over again.


For a large carnivorous dinosaur like Allosaurus or Tyrannosaurus, one Apatosaurus must have made quite a feast. Apatosaurus, with its massive body, couldn't have run fast,

so it likely stayed with others to from a protective herd. the huge herbivore was also not entirely defenseless. It could crack its long tail a whip, causing serious

damage to would-be attackers, perhaps sending them airborne. Apatosaurus also possessed claws "thumb" did its. It's possible that this enormous dinosaur

reared up on its back legs and then crashed down on its enemies, jabbing claws into them upon impact.

On account of its little size, a hunter with sharp, concentrated teeth would be more Like velociraptor, Troodon moved around on its rear legs just, utilizing its forelegs to hold ask.  Troodon was about the size of a man.

Discovering dinosaur

Dinosaur were a group of reptiles that lived on Earth for over 160 million years. Analysts believe it was extinct 65 million years ago Everything that we know about dinosaurs has been learned from fossils. If scientists discover a new kind of dinosaur. they study its bones to work out the shape of its body and how it walked and ran. and what other kinds of dinosaur it is related to The discovery of some dinosaur fossils during the ongoing research suggests that certain types of dinosaurs lived in flocks and other fossils, such as leaves and insects or shells that Tell us about the climate at that time and the plants that lived in that environment.  Dinosaur teeth often survive, and can tell us whether the animal ate flesh or plant food. A few dinosaurs eggs have been found, and these suggest that some kinds of dinosaurs, like most reptiles alive today, did not look after their young. All these things help us to understand the dinosaurs, but there are many things that we do not yet know
