What dinosaur has 500 teeth?

So, there was a dinosaur with 500 teeth… and it’s called Nigersaurus!

Yeah, you read that right 500 teeth. This sauropod lived around 115 to 105 million years ago during the middle Cretaceous period. Its mouth was like a freakin’ toothbrush made of 500 needle-like teeth. It wasn’t about chomping down on meat—nope, this guy was all about grazing on plants.

The coolest part? The teeth were perfectly designed to strip plants off the ground. Nigersaurus had a super wide and low mouth, which made it perfect for snacking on low-growing vegetation. And here’s the kicker: Its teeth were constantly replaced, like some kind of prehistoric shark or modern crocodile. Talk about staying fresh!

So yeah, if you thought 32 teeth were a lot, imagine having 500, and they never stop coming!
