Physical Appearance
I will tell you about the physical appearance of the
Apatosaurus. The Apatosaurus is 33-38 tons.33-38
tons is compared to 3 semi-trucks. The Apatosaurus
is 70-90 feet tall. It would take 17 of me to be a
Apatosaurus. The Apatosaurus is 3-4 mph fast. It is
much slower compared to a Velociraptor which runs
40mph. In conclusion the Apatosaurus is the biggest
land animal in the whole world.

Hunting and Eating habits
I want to tell you about the Apatosaurus hunting and
eating habits. An Apatosaurus is a herbivore. That
means it only eats plants and ferns. It had blunt pencil
like teeth arrayed like a garden rake these were
useful for stripping and gathering foliage. It would be
hard to have blunt like teeth. A Apatosaurus may have
had thick moose like lips. That would help it gather
plant like material. In conclusion the Apatosaurus was
a gentle plant eating dinosaur.

Other interesting facts
There are several other interesting facts about the
Apatosaurus. Fossilied Apatosaurus footprints called
track way have been found in Colorado that were
about a yard wide. That is very large because my foot
is only about 13 inches long. The Apatosaurus nostrils
were located on top of its head. That is really weird
compared to other dinosaurs. The Apatosaurus back
legs are bigger than the front legs. That means the
Apatosaurus back legs are stronger and heather.
Clearly the Apatosaurus was a very unique dinosaur.
