Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus)

Apatosaurus was a brilliant dinosaur from the Jrassic, 150 milliion years ago. It was discovered by the famous paleontologist Othneil Charles Marsh and its name means deceptive lizard. It was herbivorous and 70-90 feet long. It is thought that it consumed gastroliths, or stomach stones, to help it digest the tough plant matter it consumed. One of the most remarkable theories in my opinion is the presence of a claw on its front limbs. It seems to me it wouldn't be able to use the claw very well though, seeing as it moved on four legs.

Brontosaurus is an invalid name for Apatosaurus excelsus. Apatosaurus is only known from fossilized bones, which don't preserve an animal's color. However, the colors of a few small feathered dinosaurs have been discovered by examining the fossil feathers with a microscope. Three dinosaurs whose colors are known are Anchiornis, Sinosauropteryx, and Confuciusornis.

There was no dinosaur named Brontosaurus.

The name Brontosaurus was given when fossils from 2 different Sauropod dinosaurs, bones from an Apatosaurus and the skull of Camarasaurus were mixed up.

The Apatosaurus is estimated to be up to 26 meters in length (23 average).

The Camarasaurus is estimated to be up to 23 meters in length.

dinosaurs which were herbivorous only ate plants 'cos that's all their body could handle. eg; Stegosaurous, Tricerotops, Argentinasaurous ext...

There are over 135 known genera of pterosaurs, and each genus has at least one species. Depending on the species, pterosaurs would have eaten any of the following: fish, insects, lizards, amphibians, small mammals, and even possibly carrion.

A massive meteore hit the earth to cause the extinction of all the dinosaurs including tyrannosaurus rex. No one has proven anything, but the meterite theory has pretty much been cancelled out of the plausibly theories. It is more likely that they evolved and formed birds or that the weather change caused them to die. Since someone redirected the question "How much does a Tyrannosaurus weigh" to this question, I will answer it here: Up to 6.8 metric tons (7.5 short tons).

Brontosaurus is an invalid name for Apatosaurus excelsus. Because paleontologists don't know how high Apatosaurus held its head, they don't know what plants it would have most likely eaten. Plants that coexisted with Apatosaurus include conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, ferns, and horsetails.

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.

A huge animal but vegetarian.It lived in herds,browsing the trees for food.It is believed to have eaten as much as 1/2 ton of vegetation daily.

Apatosaurus excelsus existed from about 154 to 151 million years ago. This was during the Kimmeridgian and Tithonian stage of the Jurassic period.

Diplodocus was a herbivore or plant eater. See the related link for more information.

they havent gone extinct they have just evolved into humans

Barosaurus was an 86 foot long, long necked, herbivorous (plant eating) dinosaur.

It isn't known whether Apatosaurus lived in herds or by itself. However, unlike most sauropods, they may have been solitary.

Brontosaurus is an invalid name for Apatosaurus excelsus. Apatosaurus was a sauropod, and like all sauropods, it walked on four legs. However, very young Apatosaurus could run on two legs like a basilisk lizard to escape danger.

your a turd^-^

Apatosaurus: 85 feet long, 20 feet tall. Super long tail, short arms. Brachiosaurus: 85 feet long, 40 feet tall. Short thick tail, very long arms.

Brontosaurus is a species of a large giant-sized reptile, an extinct reptilian herbivore (plant-eating) animal from the Jurassic period. Bronto comes from the Greek word meaning thunder and saurus meaning lizard.

Ankylosaurus had no evolutionary descendants. The only living descendants of dinosaurs are the birds. Birds evolved from small, feathered, meat eating or insectivorous dinosaurs that lived in trees.

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.

Apatosaurus walked on four sturdy legs, had a bulky body, and a very long, narrow tail. It also had a long but thick neck and a small head. They were herbivores. They were also huge at 75 feet in length and weighing in at 18 to 25 tons.

Apatosaurus fossils come from the Morrison Formation of western North America and date to between 154 and 150 million years ago. At that time, the area was a semi-arid subtropical plain with distinct wet and dry seasons. Near rivers, there were forests of conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, ferns, and horsetails. Further from the rivers there were open areas covered in ferns with scattered trees.

the most of dinosaur lived in hot climate and they were herbivores

Brontosaurus is an invalid name for Apatosaurus excelsus. Apatosaurus didn't live in swamps; they lived in semi-arid plains. The reason that they are frequently associated with swamps is because when they were first discovered, it was believed that sauropods would be unable to support themselves on dry land, and that they must have spent their lives at least partially submerged in the water of swamps. This is now known to be completely false.

Yes, brontosaurus was a real dinosaur. Technically, the commonly accepted current name for the Brontosaurus is Apatosaurus.
