About this deal

While not the largest Sauropod, Apatosaurus was still one of the biggest dinosaurs of its time. Apatosaurus Size Apatosaurus Facts For Kids: Size Chart Why some clearly have digital reference provided and others don’t beats me, but as someone who works in this arena, I can say you’ll be surprised how much stuff just gets lost. Anyway I digress…

Giant of the Jurassic: The Safari Ltd. Apatosaurus toy brings to life one of the largest terrestrial animals to have ever existed, measuring at least 70 feet in length and weighing about 20 tons. For much of the time Apatosaurus may have had to keep its head in line with its body to allow its heart to supply its brain with blood.

Apatosaurus Physiological Adaptations

The company who produce several lines of dinosaur figures including the Carnegie Collection and the Wild Safari Line In 1903, the Brontosaurus species that had been discovered, Brontosaurus excelsus, was renamed Apatosaurus excelsus; Brontosaurus had officially become Apatosaurus! Subsequent studies found that Brontosaurus was actually the same genus. Because Apatosaurus was named first, scientific convention calls for Brontosaurus to be renamed Apatosaurus.

However, the story doesn’t end there. Studies in 2015 have found that there is enough difference between Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus for them to be considered different genera (i.e. different types of animal). Not all scientists agree with this finding, but it could be that Brontosaurus is once again Brontosaurus! Dinosaurs - With the dinosaurs, tread the Jurassic earth, meet the legendary T-Rex, walk through vast plains with the velociraptor or fly with a Pteranodon. They could have been even bigger: some estimates suggest Apatosaurus could have weighed around 73 metric tonnes (80 short tons / 160,000 lb)!
