Brachiosaurus

The name Brachiosaurus comes from the Greek words “arm” and “lizard,” referring to the fact that this dinosaur’s front legs were longer than its back ones. A contemporary of Stegosaurus in the late Jurassic period, this towering sauropod could reach up to 65 feet long, weigh over 60 tons, and could reach the high branches of 30-foot-tall trees. ***Errata:*** **Body (2nd set of increases, the 2 & 3 are switched)** Row 7:Ch 1, (sc 3, sc 2 in next st) 3 times, **(sc 2 in next st, sc 3)** 3 times.
