It housed a variety of different sauropods like Apatosaurus, Brontosaurus, Camarasaurus, and Diplodocus. Brachiosaurus is also related to Camarasaurus, which was also found in North America and was a much more common sauropod.īrachiosaurus is known only from the Morrison Formation which had a semiarid environment with distinct wet and dry seasons. Other members of the brachiosauridae family include several that lived into the Early Cretaceous such as Sonorasaurus and the small Europasaurus, which displayed insular dwarfism. Much of the reconstruction has been based on Giraffatitan from the Tendaguru Formation, which at one point was considered an African species of Brachiosaurus. A fully grown Brachiosaurus probably didn't have much to fear from carnivores, but juveniles may have fallen prey to Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus.įossil evidence of Brachiosaurus has been quite rare, with the most complete skeleton being a sub-adult. This allowed Brachiosaurus to reach high into the tree-tops and avoid competition with ground-dwelling herbivores. Brachiosaurus and its family have two notable features that distinguish them from other sauropods their front legs are proportionally longer than their rear legs and their neck is held upright. One of the world's most popular dinosaurs, Brachiosaurus once roamed North America during the Late Jurassic and is one of the rarer sauropods from this area. Though their massive size protects them from predators, they are vulnerable to attacks by Tyrannosaurus, and can bleed out and die if not tended to by a medical team. Like other sauropods, Brachiosaurus eat directly from trees and plants placed in their exhibit, and show a preference for tall seed plants like cycads. They tolerate a large group of other dinosaurs in their enclosure, and while they occasionally square off with one another in territorial contests, they are generally an undemanding species. In Evolution 2, Brachiosaurus is a peaceful animal, and can live a solitary existence, as well as a modest group of other Brachiosaurus. Like other sauropods, Brachiosaurus eat exclusively from Tall Herbivore Feeders, but with the Claire's Sanctuary expansion pack, they can also eat from Tall Paleofeeders, showing a primary preference for Tree ferns and a secondary preference for Conifers and Ginkgo.Ģ001 E 1993 B: Isla Nublar (1993) Challenge Mode Any Difficulty Unlock They also mix well with almost every other dinosaur type, with the exception of the Indominus rex. They require a very large enclosure with plenty of trees. It has a grey-brown color, like many other dinosaurs, and has a lighter brown underbelly.īrachiosaurus is comfortable alone or in small groups of up to 5 other individuals. Characteristicsīrachiosaurus is a massive sauropod dinosaur, among the largest that existed, distinguished by its long, vertical neck and a comparatively short tail. One individual is briefly seen lifting the already destroyed Chrysler Town & Country van, wreaking it more and nearly killing Eli Mills in the process.įour years after the incident at Lockwood Manor, some Brachiosaurus were captured and taken to a sanctuary created by BioSyn. After the destruction of Isla Nublar, at least three adult Brachiosaurus were successfully transported back to the mainland. Although Brachiosaurus were not known to be exhibited at Jurassic World, a population existed on Isla Nublar and several were encountered during the eruption of Mount Sibo after the abandonment of Jurassic World.
Īfter Isla Sorna was abandoned in the wake of Hurricane Clarissa, InGen's report on the number of Brachiosaurus on the island had become outdated, as several individuals had changed sex from female to male, and began breeding. In an InGen report in 1996, it was reported that one Brachiosaurus died on Isla Nublar of malnutrition and that the original herd did not stray far from their enclosure, despite failed efforts by the island's Tyrannosaurus to hunt them. By the time of the Isla Nublar Incident in 1993, InGen had a herd of six Brachiosaurus in Jurassic Park, and ten on Isla Sorna. Originating in the Jurassic period, Brachiosaurus was the first species of sauropod bred by InGen for the original Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar.
