Giraffatitan

Giraffatitan brancai, long displayed as Brachiosaurus brancai, under the glass roof of the dinosaur hall at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin. At 13.27 meters, about 43.5 feet, it is the tallest mounted dinosaur skeleton in the world, a record confirmed by Guinness World Records. The bones were dug up at Tendaguru, in present-day Tanzania, during the German expedition of 1909 to 1913, and the mount combines real fossil material with modeled parts. Stand at the front legs and look straight up the neck: the long forelimbs are what lifted that head so high.
