Brachiosaur was a member of a genus (group) of dinosaurs called Brachiosourus. He lived 163 to 144 million years ago in Africa America and Europe. Brachiosaurs had very long necks and a fully grown adult could easily be 25-30 meters (75-100ft) in length, from nose to tail. He could stand up to 15 metres high and weigh 80-100 tonnes (80-100,000kg)
Scientists used to believe that Brachiosaur spent a lot of time in water, but this is actually impossible because the pressure of deep water would probably have killed these dinosaurs. It is generally accepted nowadays, that they wandered around eating leaves from tall trees, a lot like girrffes do today.They were pleasant looking creatures and would almost certainly not attack a human, if they were here today (though they might eat all the trees). Even though Brachiosaur is so huge, he is not the largest dinosaur...... by quite some way.
