It was closely related to Brachiosaurus.
Like Brachiosaurus,
Giraffatitan was very large and heavy. It grew to perhaps 75 feet (22.9 meters) long, and weighed around 89 tons.

allowed it to browse the foliage at the tops of tall trees.
Giraffatitan was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived from 154 to 142 million years ago
