Apatosaurus was one of the largest land
animals that ever existed. The dinosaur Brontosaurus is now called
Apatosaurus. This enormous plant-eater measured about 70-90 feet
(21-27 m) long and about 15 feet (4.6 m) tall at the hips. It weighed
roughly 33-38 tons (30-35 tonnes). Its head was less than 2 feet long;
it had a long skull and a very tiny brain. This plant-eater had a long
neck (with 15 vertebrae), a long whip-like tail (about 50 ft = 15 m
long), a hollow backbone, peg-like teeth in the front of the jaws, and
four massive, column-like legs. Its hind legs were larger than the
front legs. Fossilized Apatosaurus footprints (called trackways) have
been found (in Colorado, USA) that were about a yard wide.
