= = =To return to the sauropod page, click here.= =Brachiosaur= == The first toe on its front foot and the first three toes on its hind feet were clawed. Its skull had a number of holes, probably helping weight-reduction. Its teeth were like chiseles, which are good for its herbivorous diet. If the Brachiosaurus was warm-blooded, it would have taken an about ten years to reach full size, if it were instead cold-blooded, then it would have required over 100 years to reach full size. As a warm-blooded animal, the daily energy demands of Brachiosaurus would have been enormous. It would probably have needed to eat more than 182 kg (400 lb) of food per **__//DAY//__**. If //Brachiosaurus// was fully cold-blooded, it would have needed far less food to meet its daily energy needs.
