What Is The Largest Mounted Dinosaur In The World?

Giraffatitan brancai, is the largest mounted Dinosaur skeleton in the world. For many decades, Brachiosaurus was the largest known Dinosaur. It was later surpassed by many giant titanosaurids. But still it is the largest dinosaur known from a relatively complete skeleton and the largest re-creation of a prehistoric Dinosaur around the whole world.

The mounted skeleton of the Brachiosaurus brancai (or Giraffatitan) displayed in the Humboldt Museum in Berlin is as tall as a four-storey building, reaching to about 39 feet into the air, and is 74 feet long. When it was alive, this long tailed, long necked animal must have weighed about 55 tons. The bones of this tallest mounted skeleton mainly come from a gigantic dinosaurus and several other specimens. The tail bones belong to another giant animal of the same species. The fossilized bones were recovered by a German Paleontologist Werner Janensch from Tanzania in the period between 1909 and 1913.
