Aegyptosaurus
Aegyptosaurus was a huge, long-necked plant-eater that lived in what is now Africa about 95 million years ago. It stomped through mangrove forests and tidal flats, munching on leaves and ferns. This giant sauropod was one of the few big plant-eaters in its neighborhood, which was full of fierce meat-eaters like Spinosaurus.2
