A little more perspective
Museum für Naturkunde gives its mounted skeleton a height of 13.27 meters and explains that the former Brachiosaurus brancai name is now Giraffatitan brancai. This is an exhibit-height reference, not a measured living animal or a value for the separate North American species Brachiosaurus altithorax.
The skeletal illustration follows the mount’s elevated-neck arrangement. Articulated joints, missing-bone restoration and posture influence the highest point; the drawing does not reproduce every mounted bone or the support hardware. Its height is calibrated from the foot-contact plane to the skull crown, while lateral geometry remains interpretive.
