The biggest animals ever to have walked on Earth were the long-necked, long-tailed dinosaurs known as sauropods, and the most famous of these giants was likely Brontosaurus, the “thunder lizard.” For more than a century, scientists stopped using the genus name Brontosaurus, but in 2015, researchers suggested it was time to “resurrect” it. So why was Brontosaurus brought back from the dead, so to speak?

    Same with me in the 90s. I think I remember one of my science classes in school mentioning the other name, but that could be a false memory.
