Brontosaurus was a huge plant-eating dinosaur that lived during the late Jurassic Period, about 150 million years ago. These five-toed, long-necked dinosaurs were the largest animals ever to live on land. The baby brontos grew rapidly, reaching maturity within about ten years. The enormous size of adult animals suggests that they grazed in an environment with abundant vegetation.
