what kind of dinosaur is littlefoot from the land before time?
apatosaurus
littlefoot, a young apatosaurus living in the verdant great valley, is eagerly awaiting the arrival of his father bron, who returns to the valley with his herd once a year. however, he soon learns from a "nothronychus" member of his dad's troupe named wild arms that his father became stranded in the wilderness when the "fire mountain" erupted, leaving the rest of the herd to go on without him. they ask wild arms for help, but he belligerently says no. the other grownups agree. after worrying about his father, littlefoot sets out alone. however, the others soon catch up with him. they do fine at first, but run into the "earth divide". it is suggested that they follow the "long valley" instead, but littlefoot says that that will take too long, and that they must cross there. luckily, they are able to knock down a tree, and get across.
the land before time xiv: journey of the brave
during the age of the dinosaurs, a massive famine forces several herds of dinosaurs to seek an oasis known as the great valley. among these, a mother in a diminished "longneck" herd gives birth to a single baby, named littlefoot. years later, littlefoot plays with cera, a "three-horn", until her father intervenes, whereupon littlefoot's mother describes the different kinds of dinosaurs: "three-horns", "spike-tails", "swimmers", and "flyers". that night, as littlefoot follows a "hopper", he encounters cera again, and they play together briefly until a large "sharptooth" attacks them. littlefoot's mother comes to their rescue, but receives fatal injuries in the process. an earthquake swallows up the sharptooth and divides littlefoot and cera and other dinosaurs from their herds while some die in the process. littlefoot receives advice from his dying mother to find the great valley before dies that night. confused and in grief, littlefoot meets an old "clubtail" named rooter, who consoles him. he is then guided by his mother's voice telling him to follow the sun to the great valley and pass several landmarks, such as a rock formation that resembles a longneck and the "mountains that burn" (volcanoes).
