Spore Apatosaurus

Wiki Quote - Apatosaurus, formerly known as Brontosaurus, is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived about 150 million years ago, during the Jurassic Period (Kimmeridgian and Tithonian ages). It was one of the largest land animals that ever existed, with an average length of 23 meters (75 ft) and a mass of at least 23 metric tons (25 short tons). The name Apatosaurus means 'deceptive lizard', so-given because the chevron bones were similar to those of a prehistoric marine lizard, Mosasaurus. The name Apatosaurus comes from the Greek ἀπατέλος or ἀπατέλιος meaning 'deceptive' and σαῦρος meaning 'lizard'.

The cervical 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 was held above the ground during normal locomotion. Like most sauropods, Apatosaurus had only a single large claw on each forelimb, with the first three toes on the hind limb possessing claws.

Fossils of this animal have been found in Nine Mile Quarry and Bone Cabin Quarry in Wyoming and at sites in Colorado, Oklahoma and Utah, USA.

Just a fun fact, I am a fossil collector and have an apatosaurus caudal vertebrae I dug up in Wyoming sitting in my living room. Massive piece.

Cool video game dinosaur. Does the game allow you to make species and watch them interact?

[Cainori]

yes it does - but the game is more of a tribute to evolution than a reality based earth evolution game. Its called spore.

@JacolMSnAkE brachio has long front legs than its behind legs making it able to rise it's neck even longer than other sauropods.

@sp4wners

I know right.

@MinecraftOutlaw my guess is the tail is a limb with the land or foot took off then stretched.

[MinecraftOutlaw]

how do you make the body so long? my game wont let me make creature that tall

[sp4wners]

It looks more like Mamenchisaurus. Apatosaurus used to have shorter neck and bigger body.
