I was a dinosaur freak avant la lettre. My grandfather bought me a children’s science book about dinosaurs. Since then I was hooked . I was 8 years old and we were still living in the 70s😃. Then the Brontosaurus still was a plump lizard that had to sit around in swamps because he couldn’t bear his own weight. The mighty T-Rex was some kind of not to smart predator because he just had to catch these water bound dino’s. They looked totally different too. Off course I knew all their names and the translation (my grandfather knew a bit Greek and Latin) by heart. So, I am a live witness of how the finding of more fossils changed the understanding of these incredible beasts and thus changed the names, the way they look and their behaviour. This was a fine episode that made me a bit nostalgic, thanks.

So glad to hear a mention of “Bully for Brontosaurus” in this video. The moment I clicked on it, I thought, “there has to be at least a small portion dedicated to it.”

Man, the record scratch in my brain that happened when you said that the dinosaur in the natural history museum, which popularized 'Brontosaurus' is an unknown species.

I went to The field museum a couple years ago and just the sight of the “unknown dinosaur “ towering over as you first walk in is breath taking! I wish I had a time machine, the first place I’d go is 100 million years in the past if even for a second!

Thanks for an informative video. Back in the late 1950's and early '60's, the U. S. had a dinosaur craze. Cereal manufacturers even put small rubber dinos in cereal boxes. That is how I got my first dino, and it was a brontosaurus. I loved it, and was hooked on dinos - as was every other kid in school. By the way, the cryptid creature named Mokele-mbembe, supposedly in central Africa, has been described as a bronto-like creature, though a miniaturized version thereof. I guess with the change in the volume of oxygen in the air since brontosaur's time, any surviving dinosaur would have to be smaller than the original.

Thank you for this! I was very confused when I saw people start referring to brontosaurus as real again, since I remembered it being "fake" during my childhood. This clears the matter up nicely!

I like to use "brontosaurus" as just a colloquial name for any long-necked dinosaur. Like, "bear", or "cat", or "frog".

Honestly, Brontosaurus is such an iconic and great sounding name that i think it should be adopted as a name for a species of Apatosaurus. Maybe not as it's own creature, although if it is discovered that it is an entirely separate species than that is also worth looking into, but if a operate species of Apatosaurus gets discovered, i wouldn't mind if they named that specific species of Apatosaurus as a nod to the now memorable and iconic name. I don't see any real reason why bronto can't be welcomed in with the Apatosaurus lineage, if it isn't separate from them all together.

So glad y'all put this out there. I lost track if Brontosaurus was real or not.

Being a child of the fifties and sixties, Brontosaurus was one of the first dinosaurs I ever learned about as a kid, and sadly for posterity not the only one to no longer to be considered a "real" dinosaur. We had far fewer names to latch onto then, but firmly ingrained in my psyche were Tyrannosaurus Rex, Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus, Trachodon, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, Dimetrodon (not actually a dinosaur, I know), Plesiosaurus* and Pteranodon* (*also not dinosaurs, but kids don't make such distinctions).

I’ve always wondered if paleontologist mix matched bones together to JUMP to a conclusion and “Diplodocisaurid’s” fascinatingly are the answer. That whole bit about if the full skeletons of Apatosaurus/Brontosaurus are varying individuals within a species or signs of sexual dysmorphism WAS REALLY INTERESTING and made me think about possible mishaps in Hadrosaur and Tyrannosaurid families

I've been following this for years, thanks for the update. I learned as a kid that they called it Brontosaurus because it thundered as it walked. This I regard as implausible. It seems to me that they would have walked more like elephants who walk quietly as cats. This is a personal observation from my time as a zookeeper taking care of elephants.

Just hearing "Brontosaurus" makes me want to re-watch Dino-Riders, that's where I first learned the word when I was just 2 or 3. Those final two episodes focusing around the two factions fighting over it were fantastic.

I grew up in Pittsburgh and have been going to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History since at least 1958. I was actually there this past July 15, 2023. So I have seen both the original mount of their Brontosaurus with the Camarasaurus skull (which they still have displayed on a stand) and the current Apatosaurus mount. It is great to see my museum featured in one of your videos. I count myself extremely fortunate to still live in Pittsburgh. If you're ever here, I invite you to enjoy one of my favorite views of these dinosaurs from the second and third floor windows of the library which overlook them.

I grew up with it being called brontosaurus, and I now understand they're called Apatosaurus. Like a lot of things in science and archaeology/paleontology, our understanding and discoveries will change what we used to know. We have to accept the changes as truth and keep on discovering in order to know more. Great video!

Still my fave dino after all these years. ❤

Parents in 2015: I WAS RIGHT!!! BRONTOSAURUS IS A REAL DINOSAUR!!! Kids: The head is still wrong. Paleontologists: Well, it's complicated...

That was an incredibly informative and entertaining video. My (completely unofficial) opinion of the whole matter when I was informed that brontosaurus was in fact apatosaurus was that if in modern English we call the beast scientifically known as panthera leo a lion, then we can call the beast scientifically known as apatosaurus escelsis a brontosaurus. Keep up the good work.

For those interested in the Bone Wars, I recommend the book Dragon Teeth.

Someone linked this to me in a discord chat, glad I did! Going to be checking out your other works (I think I watched a bit of your accuracy of walking with dinosaurs vid) , and subscribed!! .. I never knew bronto was called thunder lizard, now that's a badass dinosaur name, paints a picture! 👌

I grew up with the Brontosaurus in Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh. I am glad the Brontosaurus (Thunder Lizard) name is back in science! Other things that changed: When I was young, Tyrannosaurus Rex stood upright, tail dragging on the ground. Famous painting in Carnegie Museum showing this. These days, he's depicted as standing bird-like with his tail off the ground. Carnegie Museum also has a Triceratops & Stegosaurus. These were the dinosaurs that fascinated my youth!

I mean those fields are literally based on conjecture until it can be proven out... yet anytime something new comes up with the possibility of the past assumptions being wrong... look out it's going down, and any way to disprove each other is on the table.

I feel like a lot of this century-long headache could of been avoided if paleantologists just renamed apatosaurus back to brontosaurus and called it a day.

Brontosaurus isn’t “back.” It never left. It was very imprudent and unscientific of Elmer Riggs to try and synonymize them with inadequate information.

You got to admit, Brontosaurus is a cooler sounding name than Apatosaurus.

1. The word “data” is plural. 2. A fossil cannot represent an unknown species, but could represent an un-described species. 3. Excellent video, thanks.

Yay brontosaurus!!! Welcome back

You hear stories of some species of dinosaur being discovered and being given names of their own even though the specimen found was of an already known species but was either a juvenile, close to reaching sexual maturity or an infirm elder on its last legs of life. It would be relatively funny if 10% of such newly discovered species are scratched out of existence and relabelled as [Specimen of an already known species]. Its rather difficult to tell whether a species of dinosaur is truly a new species or is just a dinosaur that died at a specific stage of its life cycle. Not sure if every possible stage of a specific dinosaur's life has been recorded, not sure about how long each particular species of dinosaur is capable of living for.

I haven't seen a Sinclair gasoline station here in Florida for decades, probably since the 1970s. They were once a common sight. Poking the internet confirms, Florida is one of 19 states without a Sinclair presence. How odd. They apparently packed their bags and left long ago, but are still found in the other 31 states. Although, half of those states claim 25 or less stations.

You should do a video on Torvosaurus
