SPECIES Apatosaurus is a member of the diplodocid family, differing from Diplodocus proper in primarily robustness in the cervical vertebrae and the leg bones. The cervical vertebrae of Apatosaurus are less elongated and more heavily constructed than those of Diplodocus and the bones of the leg are much stockier despite being longer, implying that Apatosaurus was a more robust animal.
