Apatosaurus is a genus containing at least two species of giant plant-eating sauropod dinosaurs. It lived during the late Jurassic Period, from about 156 million to 151 million years ago, and its fossil remains have been found in North America. The genus formally included Brontosaurus beginning in 1903, although later research has continued to debate whether the two should be separate genera.
