Description Qiaowanlong kangxii, the first definitive brachiosaurid from Asia according to the authors of the paper. But is it really a brachiosaurid?
The image is just based on a regular Brachiosaurus with the now freshly refavored erect neck pose (not much is actually known of the animal). More info here:

Serious neck vein! XD I thought brachios always had upright necks? But my dino knowledge has disappeared into the far recesses and is quite old

Well you missed a decade a paleo peregrination after a study indicated that sauropods could not have lifted their neck (Here an extreme view for Brachi for instance: [link] ) but you haven't noticed it as most of the artists did not catch it up. A new recent study showed that the lifting of the neck was not only possible but probable, so looks like people were right in the first place

Yes, it looks like a young T rex except that it is from the Early Cretaceous of China... or could it have been smuggled from somewhere else?
