	Apatosaurus - Dinosaur - Enchanted Learning Software
		Apatosaurus held its neck more-or-less horizontally (parallel to the ground).
		Apatosaurus moved very slowly on four legs (as determined from fossilized tracks and its leg length and estimated mass).
		Apatosaurus was a sauropod, whose intelligence (as measured by its relative brain to body weight, or EQ) was the among the lowest of the dinosaurs.

	APATOSAURUS
		The most famous of these was called "Brontosaurus", but it was discovered that brontosaurus fossils were the same as those of a previously named dinosaur: APATOSAURUS.
		Apatosaurus was heavy, with a long muscular neck and elephant-like legs.

		Apatosaurus (), previously known as Brontosaurus, is a genus of sauropod dinosaurs that lived about 140 million years ago, during the Jurassic Period.
		Nathan Myhrvold, a computer scientist from Microsoft, carried out a computer simulation of the tail of Apatosaurus, a very long, tapering tail resembling a whip, and concluded that sauropods were capable of producing a crack of over 200 decibels, comparable to the sound of a cannon.
		Apatosaurus is a member of the Diplodocidae, along with Diplodocus, Barosaurus and Seismosaurus, although it is not as closely related to the others as they are to each other and hence placed in its own subfamily Apatosaurinae.

		Apatosaurus was called Brontosaurus [Gr.,=thunder lizard] until it was discovered that the two animals were, in fact, the same.
		It was herbivorous and dwelled on land, possibly in forests, using its long neck to feed from trees.
		Apatosaurus bones and those of other sauropods have long been excavated in the Morrison formation of the late Jurassic and early Cretaceous strata in Colorado, Wyoming, and other Western states.

	brontosaurus - Information from Reference.com
		The species Brontosaurus excelsus was named by its discoverer Othniel Charles Marsh, in 1879 and the designation persisted as an official term in the general public's literature until at least 1974, though it was recognized as a species of a previously-named genus, Apatosaurus, in 1903.
		Although now recognized by the scientific community as Apatosaurus, the name "Brontosaurus" was used for the stamp because it is more familiar to the general population.
		Stephen Jay Gould supports this position in his essay "Bully for Brontosaurus", echoing Riggs' original argument that "Brontosaurus" is a synonym for "Apatosaurus".

		Like the Tyrannosaurus rex, Apatosaurus (formerly called Brontosaurus) was disassembled in 1992 and remounted to reflect current ideas about how it looked and carried itself.
		Because he believed that this animal was related to more primitive sauropods called camarasaurs, he had the skull made to look like that of a camarasaur.
		To this day, no Apatosaurus has ever been found with its skull directly attached, but one skull has been found lying close to an Apatosaurus skeleton.

	Why is ``Brontosaurus'' now called Apatosaurus? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I said that Riggs established that Apatosaurus and ``Brontosaurus'' were from the same genus.
		But the two Marsh specimens are still considered to represent separate species: the older specimen is Apatosaurus ajax and the newer Apatosaurus (nee ``Brontosaurus'') excelsus.
		Finally: for many years, Apatosaurus was believed to have a head similar to that of Camarasaurus - a mistake that was rectified in the 1970s with the discovery of a specimen with associated cranial remains closely resembling the head of Diplodocus.
