    Meh, nobody cares about the Bronto anymore. Dreadnoughtus shrani is the new big thing these days.
    Yes, that really is it's name. Look it up.

    No. I mean Brontosaurus, the super-awesome name that we can finally use in a professional setting again!

    Yeah, Dreadnoughtus is cool, not as big as some of the other South American dinosaurs like Argentinosaurus, but damn is it a cool name!

    YES!

    Man my inner 8-year-old is jumping and screaming with joy around the house right now.
    "You basically had an explosion of these things in what could be harsh environments, which raises the question of how they could have found enough food to have supported them all."

    Different atmosphere in the Jurassic compared to today. The Jurassic era had 5 times as much CO2 as we have today - the stuff that plants breathe (for a certain value of "breathing"). So the plants could probably grow much larger and quicker.

    Agreed!
    I was just thinking about it the other day, I used to have a Brontosaurus model in my room, I'm sure my folks have it in mothballs somewhere.

    My 2 year old has just entered a 'dinosaurs are awesome' stage, and it's pretty awesome. Of course, his T-rex spends most of the time trying to eat Thomas the train, but it's a start. :)

    Heh, I got a Magic Sand set for my son and there is a mold of the Apotosaurus. My wife asked about that and I told her it used to be the Brontosaurus. Looks like I have some 'splainin' to do ;)

    *twitches with Paleontologist Rage at the mention of Jurassic World and its complete disconnection from reality and science*
