The Brachiosaurus was the first dinosaur encountered by the endorsement team hired by InGen to make sure Jurassic Park was safe for visitors.
They lived in the Brachiosaurus Enclosure, coexisting with the hadrosaur Parasaurolophus. When the Brachiosaurs reached a certain age, they would be transported to the nearby island Isla Nublar to serve as an attraction for InGen's Jurassic Park. It is suggested that the ones with turquoise are males and the plain brown ones are females. The Brachiosaurs on Isla Nublar came in two different colors, one being gray-brown and the other being gray-brown with a creamy underbelly and turquoise tinge on their crests. They would communicate by using whale-like hoots. Another odd characteristic was the nostrils, located on the forehead rather than near the snout region. The clones have elephant-like feet instead of one large claw on the first toe of each front foot and claws on the first three toes of their back feet. Also, unlike the original dinosaur, the cloned Brachiosaurus had hind legs strong enough to allow them to get into a tripod stance while feeding. These clones chewed their food, unlike the original Brachiosaurus and other sauropods, which could mean the Brachiosaur clones probably didn't require gastroliths to aid in digestion. It may have carried the neck more at a 45 - 60 degree angle.ġ0 Brachiosaurus' were recreated by InGen in their compound on Isla Sorna where the workers on the island served as their caretakers. New studies by computer specialists suggest that Brachiosaurus may not have carried its neck angle up as high as was thought once. However, the African species of Brachiosaurus is now thought to be a different genus called Giraffatitan. Scientists believed that Africa and North America were connected during the Jurassic. Brachiosaurus was once thought to have lived in both the United States and Africa (Tanzania) in the Jurassic. Originally discovered in 1900 in Colorado, Brachiosaurus was named in 1903 by Elmer Riggs of the Field Museum in Chicago. Since then, other dinosaurs have been discovered to have been taller. For almost a century, Brachiosaurus was considered the tallest of all dinosaurs, being over 13 metres tall. It gets its name from the great height of its humerus, or upper arm bone - which is longer than most humans are tall. Brachiosaurus is a member of the sauropod family and one of the most well-known of all dinosaurs.
