Fun Facts About Apatosaurus
Apatosaurus lived in the late Jurassic period, about 152 to 151 million years ago, in western North America. It grew over 70 feet long and was a heavy, sturdy plant-eater. Its name means “deceptive lizard.” Long-necked dinosaurs laid eggs that were surprisingly small compared to the giant moms. The babies then grew very fast. Whether long-necked moms cared for their young for long isn’t known for sure – but there’s plenty of love on our page!
