Here's a critter we haven't covered before: Brachiosaurus. From the generic Greek term meaning "arm lizard' for its extremely long 'arms' this herbivore roamed the earth during the Late Jurrasic around 154-152mil years ago. Originally thought to be cold-blooded - or ectothermic - it is now being considered as possibly warm-blooded and is estimated to have been around 18 and 21 meters (59 and 69 ft) long.
This Safari Ltd version from 1998 is a pretty big sucker at 9" (22.86cm) L 8 1/2" (21.59cm) H - certainly much bigger than any of its vintage Marx and MPC cousins. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
