Mamenchisaurus is a very great gentle giant,
while he has his neck longer than his tail
he is still Special just like one of my Favorite Dinosaurs.

I believe this is the one from The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

In the film it was Mamenchisaurus, in the novel it was Apatasaurus. Don't know why they changed it though; especially considering that Apatasaurus was a much more recognizable dinosaur, ESPECIALLY in the 90's when people still believed the mislabeling of it as a Brontosaurus (recently a new genus of dinosaur was discovered which was named Brontosaurus). Seems weird to me especially considering how utterly insane marketing was at that time.

Didn't know that. Interesting. I still find it strange Apatosaurus didn't make a JP movie until World.

It is weird they would go for the more obscure Sauropod in the Lost World; but if I had to guess it would be because aside from Brachiosaurus, most people would prefer seeing dinosaurs other than a generic Sauropod

i think you're right, the sauropod in lost world was mamenchisaurus

A lot of people probably wouldn't catch it. At first I assumed it was brachiosaurus but this dinosaur's neck doesn't stay vertical and missing the nasal features.

very true, yeah
plus the neck was too long and thin to be brachiosaur
