Don't make this giant mad!
Brachiosaurus was one of the largest of the dinosaurs, over 80 feet long and weighing in at 80 tons. This model looks just as cool as the real thing, but weighs a lot less! Unique, rounded building pieces give a realistic shape to the tail, neck and body. Use the same parts to build a Diplodocus, Plesiosaurus, or a Plateosaurus.

Brachiosaurus
"arm lizard"
BRAK-ee-oh-SAWR-us
One of the largest animals ever to walk the planet, Brachiosaurus stretched 85 feet long and more than 50 feet tall, with long forelimbs, a relatively short tail and a sloping back. Its large nostrils sat on a high arch of bone above its eyes, and its tall neck helped Brachiosaurus to feed from the highest branches.

Diplodocus
"double beam"
dip-LOD-oh-kuss
At 88 feet from snout to tail-tip, this was one of the longest land animals of all time. A relatively slender giant dinosaur, Diplodocus held its long neck out in front of it for greater reach in feeding on leaves. Its tail became incredibly thin toward the end and may have helped to fend off predators.

Plateosaurus
"flat lizard"
PLAT-ee-oh-SAWR-us
An early large dinosaur, Plateosaurus was a shorter and lighter relative of the long-necked giants. It probably walked on all four legs, rearing up onto two to feed or defend itself with its large hand-claws. Many fossils of Plateosaurus were found together, indicating that this plant-eater may have lived in herds.

Plesiosaurus
"near lizard"
PLEE-see-oh-SAWR-us
Plesiosaurus was a long-necked, short-tailed marine reptile, not a dinosaur. It used its long flippers to guide it through the water in pursuit of fish and other small sealife, which it would snap up with its sharp, needle-like teeth. Like all aquatic reptiles, Plesiosaurus needed to come to the surface to breathe.


Notes[]

  • It is also possible to create a sand green version of Iguanodon from the 6721 Mosasaurus set using the parts from this set.
