Nigersaurus is a sauropod dinosaur known for having over 500 teeth, all of which were situated at the front of its strangely shaped snout. These teeth, which were replaced approximately every two weeks, were used to browse on low-growing vegetation. Nigersaurus was a relatively small sauropod, growing to about 9 m in total body length.
