Dinosaur Profile: Apatosaurus

Apatosaurus
Apatosaurus was a massive dinosaur. It lived in the Jurassic in Colorado. It's name means "Deceptive Lizard". The dinosaur used to be called Brontosaurus but, the name got changed.

Here is a video on Apatosaurus:

Apatosaurus was featured a lot in pop culture. It is used for shirt designs and it is in various movies and video games. But, are those depictions scientifically accurate? Some people say yes and some say no but, I think the depictions are inaccurate. For example, the Apatosaurus in King Kong is so inaccurate. It doesn't even look real. I think people should portray them like animals not beasts.

The most massive land animals ever to have lived, sauropods roamed widely across the continents through most of the "Age of Dinosaurs" from about 220 to 65 million years ago. They reached incredible sizes, giving rise to the question: Why were they so big? Early guesses suggested that they gained protection from predators
