What type of environment did Nigersaurus live in?
Although the fossils of Nigersaurus were found in the desert, the environment that Nigersaurus lived in 110 million years ago was nothing like the harsh conditions of the Sahara today. When Nigersaurus lived, the land was a freshwater river environment, with river systems big enough to be home to the 40-foot crocodilian, Sarcosuchus “SuperCroc”—which might occasionally have snacked on Nigersaurus for lunch.
