Brachiosaurus: One Of The LARGEST Animals to Ever Exist | Dinosaur Documentary

Alongside Giraffatitan and Sauroposeidon, Brachiosaurus is my favorite dinosaur species.

"That's a dinosaur"

Love this channel

Great vid. I always look forward to these videos :)

Love this

When I was a kid, I called Brachiosaurus, "A dino-swan." Many thanks, Dinosaur Discovery. This video is superb.

I still think they hung out in the water.

"It's a Brachiosaurus" 🦕

Small story:
Why did the Brachiosaurus start a career in espionage? Because it thought it would be the perfect undercover agent, given its ability to blend in with skyscrapers. On its first mission, it was tasked with a simple surveillance job. However, it stuck out like a sore thumb, or more accurately, like a giant dinosaur in the middle of the city! It tried to disguise itself as a modern art installation, standing perfectly still with a pigeon on its head and tourists taking selfies. The mission was a bust, but it did accidentally uncover a spy ring: a group of squirrels using acorn messages. The Brachiosaurus returned to the agency as a hero, not for its subtlety, but for being the most noticeable "incognito" agent in history. Its career in espionage was short-lived, but it always remembered the thrill of being mistaken for a peculiar piece of art.

Finally.. my favorite Sauropod got some love

A mostly intact brachiosaur was destroyed in the Berlin museum during the war

What a monster. That is meant as a compliment. Thank you for featuring one of my favorite dinosaurs.

I would like to see information on the environmental carrying capacity of animals like this. How much land did it take to support them? How might trees have coped with such heavy pruning?

That was a battle, kookaburra!!

Dinosaurs are not reptiles

Brachiosaurus was the second or thrid largest in "jurassic" period in "north america"...

Depictions of sauropods standing in neck deep water are ridiculous. These animals are so large that the pressure on their chests would be on the order of 1 atmosphere, making breathing impossible (which is why people cannot functionally use snorkels more than a foot in length). This has been known for decades, and to show such depictions significantly detracts from the believability of the information being presented.

Famous Legend Dinosaur Brachiosaurus😊🦕💙💜

Very difficult for an animal that large to hold it's head up high. Puts alot of pressure on it's heart to pump blood to the brain

I have to go look it up I have no idea how long 26 meters is

at "how was brachiosaurus discovered" do you think it might have been like a liger or prizzly bear? the liger comes to mind as a cat basically the size of a bear and both of it's parents together, as if had a chromosonal condition of magnificient sort

Why was there a human leaning over the fallen dinosaur near the end???

I find all sauropods same... pillar like legs.. big cylindrical body.. long neck and tapering thick tail....

My favorite sauropod ❤🤘🏻

You mean Brontosaurs, correct?!

I breathed under 7 almost 8 feet of water in our swimming pool. This animal, I think, would benefit from the displaced gravity. A Mouse feeds completely under water, I have seen footage of it actually doing just that, on lake bottom vegetation in Canada and Alaska.

Elephants are great swimmers, why couldn't these. I find this all believable. I don't think we are likely to ever know for sure the ways these animals actually lived

Q😅o😅

Growing up in the 80s, it was taught and believed that these beauties lived in swamps and lakes. Lurking around submerged with only the tips of their "noses" breaking the surface like a crocodilian. Even as a 5 year old, I saw no reason for an herbivore of such immense proportions to develop such an adaptation unless it was omnivorous. Several years ago, studying hadrosaurs, it clicked in my mind that the crest was used for communication. Long neck, tiny head and no real evidence of vocal elongation, it would have sounded like a weird fart and seems its dome was used to control pitch. There's not much bone there for substantial resonation but it would seem they could control pitch somewhat.

Wrong, referring to the neck posture.... following the Brachiosaurus' backline, his neck was more likeliy held in an angle of around- 40-60° to the horizontal.
Just google Brachiosaurus, there is a more recent drawing of the animal.
