Its high shoulders created an outline different from other long-necked dinosaurs. Like other brachiosaurids, it had a high front end and a long neck. The forelegs raised the front of the body, while its small head was adapted to gather vegetation.

Beyond the game

The real Vouivria

The bones were found in Damparis, France. For years they were linked to other sauropod names, until a detailed reassessment allowed Vouivria to be described as its own genus.

Brachiosaurids are famous for their large African and North American members, but this branch also lived in Europe. A European discovery helps reconstruct both the group’s evolution and its spread across the Jurassic world.
