Brachiosaurus Brancai
Height: 54 feet
Weight: 82 metric tons
Length: 92 feet
==================
Coloration:
Male: Pale green and gray mottling with pale yellow striping covering all of their bodies. Head has a small crest which is usually dull red, but during the breeding season, the crest becomes vibrant male with small blackish red striping. Underbelly is yellowish white and the eye's are colored green or brown.
Young Male: Grayish green and gray mottling with beigish yellow striping covering all of their bodies. Eye's are green or brown.
===============
Female: Dark brown mottling with darker brown striping. Underbelly is brownish white and the eye's are often dark brown or yellow.
Young Female: Light brown mottling with small brown striping. Underbelly is beigish white and the eye's are light yellow or brown with round, black pupils.
Preferred Habitat:
Diet: Brachiosaurus are not picky eaters, eating a variety of vegitation at different areas, from low to the ground to high up in the trees. It's ability to chew allows it to chew even tree branches as well as the leaves that grow on them.
Family: Brachiosauride
Social Structure: Females are more social than males, as females usually live in groups with up to 11 individuals. Like the Compsognathus, the group has no real alpha, but one may appear dominant. Males, on the other hand, tend to live in smaller groups with up to 8 individuals, led by an alpha male.
Description: Large, quadrupedal sauropod; one of the largest cloned by inGen. Brachiosaurus has a very long neck, which can be up to 32 feet long. The neck is designed to reach even the highest of treetop vegitation, where other herbivores cant get to. The front legs are longer than the hind legs, making the animal much larger than a regular sauropod. Brachiosaurus has a short tail, much shorter than any other sauropod. Small head which has a small crest on top of the head. It is here where the nostrils are located.
Behavior's: Brachiosaurus is one of the largest sauropods on Isla Sorna, and it is generally peaceful animal, which enjoys the company of other herbivores like Parasaurolophus and Apatosaurus. It is common to find groups of Brachiosaurus alongside Parasaurolophus herds, and vice versa. Their large size is enough to keep away most predators; even an adult Tyrannosaurus tend to aviod them, with only the fierce, pack-hunting Allosaurus being the biggest threat to an adult Brachiosaurus. During the breeding season, male Brachiosaurs are generally aggressive towards other males, often bellowing and barking at each other. During breeding fights, male Brachiosaurs will push and shove each other, often breaking bones, and shaking the ground in the process. After breeding, female Brachiosaurs lay the eggs in a small clutch in the Forest. After burying them, she abandons the eggs, as she is too large to stay with the eggs, as there is the possibility of crushing the eggs. Some females will stay enar the eggs for a short period of time to fend off attackers, but soon she will have to leave. Often only one out of 10 hatchlings will make it to adulthood, as they are usually picked off by egg-stealers and predators like Gallimimus, Velociraptor Europensis and sometimes Compsognathus. Soon after they hatch, the young Brachiosaurus flee deeper into the Redwood Forest to find shelter and protection. Soon when they become big enough, they venture out into the grasslands in search of other Brachiosaurus herds for protection. Although they are still at risk of an attack, they are much safer with an adult herd than being alone.
