The Apatosaurus It is one of the best known dinosaurs of all, but usually by its more popular name «Brontosaurus«.
His 6 meter long neck it held a fairly small head and its brain was the size of a large apple.
Two low ridges ran the length of its spine, from the base of its skull to almost the tip of its tail. These spines served to support the ligaments that supported the neck and tail.
The tail, resembling a whip over 30 feet long from the Apatosaurus, was probably his only means of self-defense.
This dinosaur lived in the western North America, where most of the specimens have been recovered.

After studying History at the University and after many previous tests, Red Historia was born, a project that emerged as a means of dissemination where you can find the most important news of archeology, history and humanities, as well as articles of interest, curiosities and much more. In short, a meeting point for everyone where they can share information and continue learning.
