No, they are different creatures:
- The Brontosaurus is the big, long-necked swamp dweller that I learned about in grade school, which holds its head high, drags its tail on the ground (or on the bottom of the lake), and spends a lot of time mucking about in the water.
- The Apatosaurus is a similarly big, long-necked creature, but it is a land-based grazer which can swing its tail as a deadly bullwhip.
