Brachiosaurus - ( Arm Reptile )
Brachiosaurus is the tallest dinosaur known from complete skeletons. It gets it's name 'Arm Reptile' from it's very long front legs, it also had an extremely long neck which helped it to eat from trees and vegetation that other dinosaurs could never reach. Brachiosaurus grew to around 23 metres long, so as you can imagine they moved around quite slowly. They lived at a time known as the Jurassic Period, this dated from around 208 million years ago and lasted up to the start of the Cretaceous Period 144 million years ago.
