Brontosaurus has a long, thin neck and a small head adapted for a herbivorous lifestyle; a bulky, heavy torso; and a long, whip-like tail. Adult individuals of Brontosaurus weigh up to 15 tonnes and measured up to 22 metres (72 ft) long.
As the archetypal sauropod, Brontosaurus is one of the best-known dinosaurs and has been featured in film, advertising, and postage stamps, as well as many other types of media.
