# Apatosaurus louisae

*Apatosaurus* was a massive, long-necked sauropod from the **Late Jurassic** period.
Known for its enormous size and whip-like tail, it roamed in herds and fed on low- to mid-level vegetation.
Fossils of Apatosaurus have been discovered in **North America**, making it one of the most iconic sauropods of its time.

---

## Appearance
- Large sauropod with a long, low-held neck, a broad barrel-shaped body, and a very long whip-like tail
- Thick, pillar-like legs supporting its immense frame
- Overall coloration is very dark, with adults appearing near-black with subtle mottling:
- **Males** have a very dark charcoal-black base with a faint dark olive-green tint to the mottling on the back and flanks
- **Females** are similar but with slightly warmer dark brown mottling rather than the olive tint
- **Babies** are compact and shorter-necked, sharing the dark charcoal-black base with subtle dark olive-brown mottling and no distinct striping
- In-game size: **29 blocks long** and **7 blocks tall**

---

## Behavior
- **Neutral**: Will not attack unless provoked
- If threatened, retaliates with powerful tail strikes
- Slow-moving but extremely strong

---

## Obtaining
Apatosaurus does not spawn naturally. To obtain one, you must:
1. Find ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/v1/extinct/apatosaurus/apatosaurus_fossil_remains) [**Apatosaurus Remains**](@jurassic-saga:fossil) or fossils
2. Use the fossil revival process to create an Apatosaurus
3. Hatch from an **Ostrich Egg** type egg

---

## Diet
- **Herbivore**: feeds primarily on <img src="https://i.imgur.com/INKBvsq.gif" width={32} height={32} style={{imageRendering: "pixelated"}}/> [**Leaves**](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Leaves)
- Will graze on low-lying plants and foliage

---

## Drops
When defeated, Apatosaurus may drop:
- ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/v1/extinct/apatosaurus/apatosaurus_raw) [**Apatosaurus Raw Meat**](@jurassic-saga:meats)

- Apatosaurus was the first dinosaur discovered from the Carnegie Quarry, when Paleontologist Earl Douglass found eight articulated tail vertebrae of it!
- Apatosaurus lived in what is now the Morrison Formation of North America, alongside animals like Stegosaurus, Allosaurus and its cousin Diplodocus!
- For over a century, Brontosaurus was thought to have been synonymous with Apatosaurus, however, recent studies have concluded that they were separate genera!
- The Apatosaurus Ocean cosmetic skin is based on the Brontosaurus seen in King Kong (2005).<sup>[[1]](https://kingkong.fandom.com/wiki/Brontosaurus)</sup>
- While Apatosaurus is technically a Jurassic World era animal, it is included in Update 1 due to its appearance in some versions of the Jurassic Park novel.<sup>[[2]](https://jurassicpark.fandom.com/wiki/Apatosaurus/Novels)</sup>
