Meet one of the most bizarre dinosaurs ever discovered! With 1,000 teeth and a head permanently rotated toward the ground, Nigersaurus (“reptile from Niger”) vacuumed up plants 110 million years ago on Africa’s isolated island continent. Fending off predators of various kinds, this bizarre dinosaur lived to become one of the most commonherbivores of its day. Learn about this extreme fern mower of a dinosaur, and how it was reconstructed for a new National Geographic Museum exhibition, from its discoverer, the acclaimed paleontologist and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence PAUL SERENO. Visit the National Geographic Museum exhibition “Extreme Dinosaur: Africa’s Long-Necked Fern Mower,” Nov 15, 2007-Feb 18, 2008, 1600 M Street.
