Apatosaurus

Apatosauruses are a genus of dinosaurs from the Cretaceous period. Like all other dinosaurs, they are treated as a singular species. They used to be called Brontosaurus. They are also similar to Diplodicus, as they are close relatives. Their skulls are quite similar. For a long time Camarasaurus skulls were put on Brontosaurus skeletons until it was revealed that they had Diplodicus-like skulls, and then this was corrected. And they had to learn the difference between a Diplodicus and Apatosaurus skull. They are very famous, being featured in a multitude of media. 
The Land Before Time features a Camarasaurus-headed Brontosaurus named Little Foot. Many children's books have apatosaurus as their protagonists or other characters, but rarely as villains. They are known for their large size, long necks, and often have a gentle, sometimes goofy attitude, but they can also be more normaly.
