, 1 September 2021Actually the dinosaurs is an Apatosaurus. The term "Brontosaurus" is only used because this was made in the 1970s, when it was believed Brontosaurus is a synonym for Apatosaurus, four decades before the 2015 discovery that they are in fact seperate species. The terms are used interchangeably in this story but Apatosaurus is noted to be the "correct" one. Outdated of course, but if we fixed outdated information we'd be a very different wiki.
