Extremely long neck; tiny head; massive body Besides its enormous, elephant-dwarfing girth, the most noticeable feature of Brachiosaurus is its extremely long (about 30 feet for an adult) neck. Most paleontologists think this indicates that Brachiosaurus led a giraffe-like lifestyle, nibbling the tops of tall trees, but there's some disagreement about whether this dinosaur's heart would have been powerful enough to pump blood to that height. It was once thought that the nostrils of Brachiosaurus were located on top of its head, but now it appears that they punctuated the end of its snout, just like other land creatures.

The most noticeable feature of the Stegosaurus ("plated reptile") are the large plates and spines on its neck, back and tail. Many dinosaur experts believe these plates were used by the Stegosaurus to adjust its body heat. The spikes on its tail were used to defend itself againt enemies. In spite of their size these dinosaurs had very small teeth. They fed on plants, probably by browsing on the ground or removing leaves from trees.
