EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Apatosaurus dinosaur, a remarkable creature that roamed the Earth approximately 150-140 million years ago. Belonging to the sauropod group of dinosaurs, this long-necked herbivore inhabited what is now southern North America. With an impressive length of about 20 meters and weighing around 30 tonnes, it was truly a colossal presence in prehistoric times. Despite its immense size, the Apatosaurus possessed a minuscule brain, which adds to its intriguing nature. Living in herds and predominantly consuming coniferous plants, this gentle giant peacefully coexisted with other species during the Jurassic period. Interestingly, this magnificent dinosaur is often misidentified by its previous name Brontosaurus or Thunder Lizard due to historical inaccuracies. However, through meticulous paleontological research and advancements in our understanding of these ancient creatures, we now recognize it as Apatosaurus. The vibrant artwork captured in this print beautifully portrays the essence of this awe-inspiring creature from millions of years ago. It serves as a reminder of our planet's rich history and allows us to marvel at the wonders that once walked upon it.
