1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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