The hero is a whatosaurus?

Arlo is an Apatosaurus. That's the correct scientific term for the Brontosaurus – a long-necked genus of sauropods. These were medium-sized (by dinosaur standards) herbivores, or 'veggiesauruses' as Tim in Jurassic Park would put it, who weren't especially fussy eaters and wolfed down just about any vegetation they could find. Following recent discoveries, some scientists now argue that the brontosaurus name should be reinstated.
