Question: What dinosaur has 500 teeth?
Show answer
Nigersaurus.
The dinosaur known for having around 500 teeth is the Nigersaurus. Nigersaurus was a herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the middle Cretaceous period, about 115 to 105 million years ago. It had a wide, flat mouth, somewhat like the mouth of a vacuum cleaner, lined with rows upon rows of small, sharp teeth. Scientists believe it used its mouth and teeth to strip leaves and plants from trees. Its name, “Nigersaurus,” refers to the country where its fossils were first discovered, Niger, not the quantity of teeth it had.
