Q: What is a Brachiosaurus and how can you recognize it?
The Brachiosaurus (Brachiosaurus altithorax) was a giant sauropod from the Late Jurassic, living about 154-150 million years ago. It is recognizable by its very characteristic vertical silhouette: unlike other sauropods whose front and back legs are of similar lengths, the Brachiosaurus had longer front legs than the back ones — hence its name, "arm lizard." This gave its body a natural forward tilt and allowed its long neck to rise almost vertically to reach the foliage of tall trees. It was a giant and peaceful herbivore, among the largest animals to have ever walked the Earth.
Q: Can this sculpture stay in an outdoor garden all year round?
Yes, without restriction — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and the UV treatment protects the green-brown tones. Its wide quadruped base (80x24cm) ensures excellent stability despite its height (H75cm). In case of exceptionally strong winds, a slightly sheltered location is preferable due to the wind resistance posed by the long neck.
Q: What is the difference between the Brachiosaurus and the two other dinosaurs in the catalog?
Three species, three silhouettes, three very different profiles. The Brachiosaurus (H75cm, vertical long-necked sauropod) is the tallest and most vertical piece. The Parasaurolophus (H65cm, tubular-crested herbivore) is the most slender piece with its distinctive crest. The Stegosaurus (H43cm, plated herbivore) is the lowest and most "child-friendly" piece. Together, the three cover three different prehistoric eras and create the most complete dinosaur composition in the catalog.
Q: Is the Brachiosaurus stable with its long neck at H75cm?
Yes — its wide quadrupedal base (80x24cm) and its weight (4.2kg) ensure sufficient stability. The high-density polyresin is robust enough to withstand normal weather conditions. In strong wind conditions, prefer a slightly sheltered location or orient the sculpture to reduce the wind catch of the neck (head facing into the prevailing wind).
Q: Is this a good gift for a prehistoric enthusiast or a child who loves dinosaurs?
The most impressive dinosaur piece in the catalog for this profile — precisely because the Brachiosaurus is one of the largest and most well-known dinosaurs, and its sculpture at H75cm does justice to the majesty of the real animal. For a child, the head at adult height creates a unique sense of wonder. For a paleontology enthusiast, the anatomical accuracy (front legs longer than the hind legs, curvature of the neck) reflects a real care for fidelity to the species.
