DINO-A-DAY #45: Brachiosaurus

Welcome to Dino-a-Day, where we'll be highlighting one prehistoric beast per day until the release of our graphic novel Evolution: The Story of Life on Earth on January 4, 2011.

Each of the ninety-six creatures we'll be featuring on this blog are taken from a huge 2-page spread in the middle of Evolution. So while you can see each individual creature here, you'll need to grab the book to see them all together!

NAME: Brachiosaurus
PRONUNCIATION: BRACK-ee-uh-SAWR-us
ORDER: Saurischia
EXISTED DURING: Late Jurassic
DISCOVERED: Colorado, 1903
FUN FACT: Once again, Jurassic Park had it wrong: Brachiosaurus could not, in fact, rear up on its hind legs to nibble on tree leaves.
