Nigersaurus had a skull so light and delicate that scientists used CT scans to study it without breaking it.2

Its mouth was wide and faced straight down, perfect for munching plants near the ground.2

Nigersaurus replaced its teeth very fast, about once every month, which is much quicker than most dinosaurs.2

This dinosaur had a short neck for a sauropod, with only 13 neck bones.2

Nigersaurus lived in a floodplain environment with rivers, about 110 million years ago.2

Its brain was small, with tiny smell bulbs, but scientists got a good look at it from a fossil endocast.2
