With his long neck, he kindof does look like Brachiosaurus. But still, people today even use the word, "Brontosaurus" when referring to "Apatosaurus". In the 20th century, "Brontosaurus" meant just about the same thing as "Long Neck" does now. Then, paleontologists decided that Brontosaurus actually wasn't real, and it was just a mistaken Apatosaurus. (I beleive Apatosaurus means "Deceptive Lizard"). However, a 2015 study showed that Brontosaurus actually was different than Apatosaurus, and Brontosaurus actually is a different species.

Still, even today beople call "Apatosaurus" "Brontosaurus". And others still believe that Brontosaurus wasn't its own species.
