The Long-Necked Brachiosaurus
The dinosaur’s massive body stands beneath a tall, curved arch that rises from its back and bends over the torso. Its head and long neck face left, while the surrounding background contains no landscape or other objects. The composition centers on the unusual silhouette of this giant sauropod.
How a Giant Sauropod Lived
Brachiosaurus had longer front limbs than hind limbs, giving its shoulders a raised position compared with many other sauropods. Its high-reaching body probably allowed it to feed on vegetation at heights unavailable to smaller herbivores. Like other sauropods, it replaced worn teeth throughout its life rather than chewing with a permanent set.
Possible Colors of Brachiosaurus
- Skin: the true color is unknown; muted brown, gray, olive, or sandy tan are scientifically cautious possibilities
- Back: it may be shown in a darker natural shade than the underside, as in many large living animals
- Underside: pale tan, warm gray, or subdued cream would create a plausible countershaded pattern
- Feet and claws: keratin coverings in living animals are often dark gray, brown, or nearly black
- Eyes: their color was not preserved; dark brown or black is a reasonable natural choice
