Whatever happened to the Brontosaurus?
Remember the cartoon character Fred Flintstone and how he used to drive a Brontosaurus at work every day? There sure must have been a lot of Brontosaurs living during the age of dinosaurs, right?
Not a single one!
The Brontosaurus never actually existed, and was in fact an incorrectly identified dinosaur created by putting the body of an Apatosaurus together with the head of a Camarasaurus.
