Apatosaurus (formerly Brontosaurus) was a herbivore, which means he ate plants of various types, but no meat. He was from the Late Jurassic Period and lived in America and Europe (when the two were joined together). He weighed over 30 tonnes (30,000kg), which makes him one of the largest dinosaurs, or in fact, all creatures ever to have lived on land. The Apatosaurus, From nose to tail could reach 20 metres in length.
His legs were like tree trunks, holding up his large body. His movement would be slow, due to his size. He could go into water, such as a lake to bathe and drink, but mainly lived on land. He roamed around and ate plants, mainly luscious leaves from tall trees, as a giraffe does today. He lived from 163 million yrs ago, right up to 143 million years ago, as far as we know.
