Introduce young dinosaur fans to the towering Brachiosaurus, one of the most recognizable and awe-inspiring herbivores of the Jurassic period. Its name means “arm lizard,” a reference to its unusually long front legs—longer than its back legs—which gave it a naturally upright posture.
This unique build allowed Brachiosaurus to lift its long neck high into the treetops, grazing on tall plants with ease while other dinosaurs fed closer to the ground. Calm, massive, and majestic, it remains a favorite among dinosaur lovers of all ages. The Schleich® Brachiosaurus figurine beautifully captures this gentle giant with lifelike proportions, careful sculpting, and a peaceful pose perfect for imaginative play and display.
