Brachosaurus

by Devin

The Brachosaurus was one of the tallest and largest dinosaurs yet found. It had a long neck, small head, and a short thick tail. It walked on four legs. It was about 85 feet long and weighed 50 to 80 tons. Its nostrils were on the top of its head. It liked to eat plants. The Brachosaurus traveled in herds and its best defense was size and its long tail because it could whip away most attackers. They also spent most of their time in the water, letting the water support their weighty bodies. The Brachosaurus' intelligence was among the lowest of the dinosaurs. Its life span was about 100 years. The Brachosaurus was born from eggs that were laid in the grass as the female walked.
