The brachiosaurus was a tall dinosaur that lived in the late Jurassic period between 143 and 155 million years ago. They are one of the most recognizable dinosaurs thanks to their imposing size and appearance in media such as the Jurassic Park series. There is a reason why they are so fascinating, as it’s hard to imagine encountering such a gigantic creature. This collection will focus on brachiosauruses drawn in different styles and scenarios, and there will even be a few other dinosaur appearances such as a pterodactyl. I will also share some interesting facts about the Brachiosaurus and what we know about them as you have fun coloring the pages.
