What is a Apatosaurus?

Apatosaurus was a giant sauropod dinosaur and one of the largest land animals to have ever lived on Earth. It lived between 154 and 145 million years ago during the Late Jurassic period. The name 'Apatosaurus' means 'deceptive lizard' in Greek.

Apatosaurus measured around 21m long from head to tail. It was a herbivore and is believed to have eaten a diet consisting of low-lying plants. However, its long neck may have allowed it to reach leaves on taller trees. It is thought that Apatosaurus had to eat up to 400kg of food every day to survive.

Apatosaurus fossils have been discovered in North America and Europe.
