Brontosauruses are enormous, long-necked dinosaurs of the sauropod family, which includes diplodocuses and brachiosauruses.

Appearance

A brontosaurus has a bulky body, four stout legs, and a long neck topped with a small head. Its neck is counterbalanced by an equally long, sinuous tail. Brontosauruses can reach 70 feet in length and weigh over 30 tons.

Ecology

Brontosauruses are herbivorous, and use the reach provided by their long necks to graze from treetops. Their immense size protects them from predation, as only the largest predators can attack them. They are normally passive and docile creatures, but when angered can defend themselves with powerful sweeps of their tails and by attempting to crush targets with their feet.
