Apatosaurus with Hills in the Background
The dinosaur faces left while its exceptionally long neck rises high on the right side of its body. Four sturdy legs support its massive torso, and a long tail extends behind it. Rolling hills, a distant horizon, clouds, and several grass tufts establish the open prehistoric setting.
A Long Neck for Broad Feeding
Apatosaurus was a sauropod, one of the giant, long-necked plant-eating dinosaurs. Its neck could sweep through a wide feeding area, allowing the animal to reach vegetation without moving its heavy body after every bite. Like other sauropods, it swallowed plant food without chewing it as thoroughly as many modern herbivores do.
