I'm waiting for the brontosaurus video. I was saddened when scientists decided it wasn't a real creature, then happy when they brought it back. Yeah, I'm old enough to remember that.
Even though they’re now separate genuses again, I usually mix up Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus when I see them. Sometimes I can’t tell which is Apato or Bronto.
The Apatosaurus keep their necks horizontal, where their food source was. They could not raise their necks up. As you noted they could rise up on their back legs to browse on the tops of trees. I still prefer the name Brontosaurus.
Tetrapods in general are holding their heads in an upright position. Because of that it was suggested by studies that ALL sauropods could and probably did held their head and neck in an upward position too.
I love the more horizontal sauropods esp when they have spines
Great video
My favorite dinosaur

One detail that could be added is at what level each type of sauropod could graze at, due to neck structure.

I’m surprised you made the older individual apatosaurs 30 meters long! I would have been satisfied with 27 meters.
Brachiosaurus is my favorite
cool
I would like a video on denversaurus, magnapaulia, velafrons, mandschurosaurus, mansourasaurus, and/or siamosaurus.
I'll put them down on my list of species to make an episode on.
Ah yes, Littlefoot.
