(at around 1h 22 mins) When Grant and the children settle in the tree for the night, Tim points to the Brachiosauruses and, at first, incorrectly identified them as Brontosauruses. There was actually no such creature. The animal that most closely resembles a Brachiosaur is the Apatosaur. The Brontosaurus was named when someone incorrectly matched a Brachiosaur skull with an Apatosaurus body. To casual dinosaur fans, the Apatosaurus is often misidentified as Brontosaurus. Someone who has read as many books as Tim has, however, should know better. However, in 2015 scientists restored Brontosaurus as the separate genus from Apatosaurus.
