Brachiosaurus, with its shorter arms and lower shoulders, was not as well-adapted to high-browsing as Giraffatitan. [93] It has been suggested that Brachiosaurus could rear on its hind legs to feed, using its tail for extra ground support. [47]
Brachiosaurus humerus bone. In 1903, Elmer Samuel Riggs described and named Brachiosaurus. In 1904, he created a new sauropod family, the Brachiosauridae. [9] [1] He published a complete description of the phenotype after examining the humerus, femur, coracoid, and sacrum of the Brachiosaurus holotype that had been prepared at the Field ...
Their hind legs were thick, straight, and powerful, ending in club-like feet with five toes, though only the inner three (or in some cases four) bore claws.

Paleontologists have conducted a study scrutinizing bite marks left by meat-eating dinosaurs on the bones of sauropods - the familiar plant-eating dinosaurs with long necks, long tails and four ...
Macropods can stand erect on their hind legs, supported by their tail as the third leg of the tripod. [5] Macropods also engage in "pentapedal locomotion," an energy-inefficient gait used at slow speed, [6] in which "the tail is used, with the forelimbs, as the third leg of a tripod to support the animal while the large hind limbs are moved ...
Single-Leg Stand: Stand on one leg while keeping your other leg lifted slightly off the ground. Hold this position for 20 to 30 seconds, then switch legs. Hold this position for 20 to 30 seconds ...
