Apatosaurus V8 (SciiFii)

Apatosaurus gallucervictis is a species of large herbivorous sauropod dinosaur that originally lived in North America during the Late Jurassic period, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and, unlike Sciifii's first Apatosaurus species, has been introduced to the open woodlands and grasslands across North America to help boost biodiversity. Apatosaurus gallucervictis can grow to an average length of 22.3–23.8 metres (73.1–78 feet), and an average mass of 16.4–22.4 tons (16.1–22.0 long tons; 18.1–24.7 short tons). However, a few specimens can grow to a maximum length of 10–28% greater than average and a mass of 32.7–72.6 t (32.2–71.5 long tons; 36.0–80.0 short tons). The cervical vertebrae of Apatosaurus gallucervictis are less elongated and more heavily constructed than those of Diplodocus, a diplodocid like Apatosaurus gallucervictis, and the bones of the leg are much stockier despite being longer, making the Apatosaurus gallucervictis a more robust animal than Diplodocus. The tail is held above the ground during normal locomotion. Each forelimb of Apatosaurus gallucervictis have a single claw and three claws are on each hindlimb. The Apatosaurus gallucervictis skull is very similar to other Diplodocids such as Diplodocus. Apatosaurus gallucervictis is a generalized browser that usually keeps its head elevated. To lighten its vertebrae, Apatosaurus gallucervictis has air sacs that make the bones internally full of holes. Like that of other diplodocids, its tail is normally used as a whip to create loud noises. Apatosaurus gallucervictis can be distinguished from other Apatosaurus species by having a more elongated build, a longer neck with a large wattle, and a light tannish-brown color with dark brown spots on its body. The eggs of Apatosaurus gallucervictis are laid around 5-6 months after mating seasons, the eggs hatch around 3-4 months after that, and the young are cared for by their parents until they are halfway between hatchlings and adults in age. The conservation status of Apatosaurus gallucervictis is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the animal's wide range.
