Schleich Brachiosaurus

If you are as bright as you look, you have to get this amazing Brachiosaurus Schleich Dinosaur Toy.

Brachiosaurus was a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived in North America during the late Jurassic. If you aren’t aware, the Jurassic is one of the great geological time periods, sandwiched between the Triassic and the Cretaceous. All three make up what is known as the Mesozoic, which lasted from 252 million years to 66 million years ago. The Jurassic itself stretched from the 201 million years to 145 million years ago.

Brachiosaurus is only known from the Morrison Formation of western North America. Its bones have been recovered from rocks that have been interpreted as having been laid down in a semi-arid environment characterised by flat flood plains and distinct wet and dry seasons.

Brachiosaurs had four legs, a small skull in relation to its body size, a long neck, short muscular tail and slender columnar limbs. Large air sacs, connected to the lung system, were located in the neck and body, which reduced the overall density of the animal. The neck was long even by sauropod standards, based on evidence from the closely-related Giraffatitan. It had an immensely deep rib-cage compared to other sauropods.

The skull has been estimated by some palaeontologists to be 81 cm long, which makes it the largest sauropod skull of the Morrison Formation. And there were plenty of other species of sauropods during Morrison Formation times, so the competition was stiff. However other workers have estimated the head to be slightly shorter at 70 cm. It had 14 to 15 teeth either side of its jaw, used for chopping up vast quantities of vegetation – but more on that later.

So, a Schleich Brachiosaur is an excellent addition to your child's toy collection. Its meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail make it visually stunning and realistic.
