Brachiosaurus

"This giant is the largest member of the Sauropod family in Jurassic Park, and weighs more than 12 elephants upon release from the hatchery! It has a huge appetite; so huge that they developed nostrils on top of their heads so that could breathe without having to stop eating."

Pleasing Tourists

"A five-star, 50-foot-high dinosaur can be seen and recognized by every mainstream tourist in the park. Add Camarasaurus to the brachiosaurus pen and you please dino nerds looking for historic authenticity and fun lovers who want to see friendly dinosaurs playing together. Other dinosaurs from Brachiosaurus's time period include the Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus. Throw a Brachiosaurus into a pen with these carnivores and you'll have violent confrontations the thrill seekers will eat up."

Sexual Dimorphism

Although never making it into the game, the Game's Intro clip shows brownish Brachiosaurus living by a lake. Around the 2000s, the community still used to believe the Jurassic Park III's green and red Brachios were male versions of the Isla Nublar brown females, that theory kept itself alive for nearly 20 years, only in the recent years, Sexual Dimorphism was spotted on the Jurassic Park III's Brachios, breaking that theory.

With that being said, it's safe to assume that the version we see in the final game is intended to represent the Males, with the females being entirely cut out of the game.
