An apatosaurus is a large sauropod dinosaur of the genus Apatosaurus, belonging to the late Jurassic period.
There are four accepted species of Apatosaurus. They are Apatosaurus ajax, Apatosaurus excelsus, Apatosaurus louisae, and Apatosaurus parvus.
Brontosaurus is an invalid name for Apatosaurus excelsus. Because they were so large, the only predator of adult Apatosaurus would be Allosaurus, if they had any predators. Young Apatosaurus had many predators, however, including Ornitholestes and Ceratosaurus.
The Apatosaurus was a quadruped, which means that it walked on four legs. Like other large sauropods, Apatosaurus could not travel quickly. In order to reach vegetation very high in trees, Apatosaurus may have reared onto its hind legs and used its tail to form a "tripod." Apatosaurus were migratory, traveling between feeding grounds with other Apatosaurus in herds.
Apatosaurus, like all dinosaurs, reproduced by laying eggs. However, we don't have any specific information about Apatosaurus eggs. If they were like other sauropods, they laid a multitude of very large eggs.
Adult Apatosaurus were 75 feet long and weighed 18 to 25 tons. Because they were so large, the only predator of adults would be Allosaurus, if they had any predators. Young Apatosaurus had many predators, including Ornitholestes and Ceratosaurus.
