It was so big that it probably spent much of its life semi-submerged in water, like a hippo, to reduce the stresses caused by its size.
Quoting: MonadnockThat's what I was taught about the big sauropods (Brontosaurus, Brachiosaurus). It was believed that they were too heavy to support their own weight. Now they realize that they browsed in upland dry conifer forests. They used those long necks and tails to balance on their hind legs and nibble off the tender shoots from treetops. Apparently they were the dinosaur equivalent of giraffes.
