Description
(2013 remake) Apatosaurus is more popular of the dinosaurs found in the USA, thanks to the invalid name "Brontosaurus", which have been used a lot of times even after that name was abandoned in scientific use. Around 23m long and weighing at least 16 metric tons, Apatosaurus was one of the largest animals that have existed in the Jurassic period. Although Apatosaurus is more related to Diplodocus and both looked similar, there are differences that helped scientists identify Apatosaurus easily. The neck vertebrae were less elongated and more heavily constructed than those of Diplodocus and the bones of the leg were much stockier (despite being longer), implying a more robust animal. The tail is held above the ground during normal locomotion, and is whip-like to deter enemies like Allosaurus. Like most sauropods, Apatosaurus had only a single large claw on each forelimb, with the first three toes on the hind limb possessing claws. Like Diplodocus however, Apatosaurus is probably a ground-height non-fussy browser, due to the square snout it has (unless if they want to browse tall trees, they could stand on their hind legs with their necks probing the vegetation).

New Apatosaurus! I could thank ZeWqt for the leg designs since they're more accurate than the actual feet. Apatosaurus from When Dinosaurs Roamed America.
