Dinosaur had mouth like a vacuum cleaner
By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID, AP Science Writer Thu Nov 15, 12:40 PM ET


WASHINGTON - Perhaps it was one of those eureka moments, when the scientists realized they had discovered a new dinosaur with mouth parts designed to vacuum up food.

The 110 million-year-old plant eater, discovered in the Sahara Desert, was to be unveiled Thursday by the National Geographic Society.
Discoverer Paul Sereno named the elephant-sized animal Nigersaurus taqueti, an acknowledgment of the African country Niger and a French paleontologist, Philippe Taquet.
Sereno, a National Geographic explorer-in-residence and paleontologist at the University of Chicago, said the first evidence of Nigersaurus was found in the 1990s and now researchers have been able to reconstruct its skull and skeleton.
While Nigersaurus' mouth is shaped like the wide intake slot of a vacuum, it has something lacking in most cleaners — hundreds of tiny, sharp teeth to grind up its food.
The 30-foot-long Nigersaurus had a feather-light skull held close to the ground to graze like an ancient cow. Sereno described it as a younger cousin of the North American dinosaur Diplodicus.
Its broad muzzle contained more than 50 columns of teeth lined up tightly along the front edge of tis jaw. Behind each tooth more were lined up as replacements when one broke off.

Nigersaurus huh? I wonder how big them lips were. I wonder if he ever got accussed of niger lipping the plants by the other dinosaurs.

[Myhairygrundle]

I didn't know that they served fried chicken and watermelon on Pangaea.

[Fr. Dougal]

I wonder how many baby dinosaurs the female Nigersauruses had from how many different male Nigersauruses.

How do you stop a Nigersaurus from jumping in the jungle ?

Put Velcro on the canopy.

And how do you get him down?



Tell a spicasaurus that he;s a pinata

Not to mention the nostrils . . .

[CM Mark]

No, you are thinking of the Jewasaur. Air was free back then too

[Arc Lite]

Joking aside, it's actually pretty cool if your into dinosaurs and shit. Nation Geographic has some good stuff on it.

Archeologist Dr. Ramon Frunchess pointed out that the Nigersaurus' droppings were extremely saturated with nutrients, which causes the soil around any Nigersaurus remains to become unusually rich.

"Now we have a new way to discover where more Nigersuari might be buried," said Dr. Frunchess; "we simply have to keep testing until we find soil that's not just rich... but Niger rich."

/long way to go
/for not much

I wonder how many baby dinosaurs the female Nigersauruses had from how many different male Nigersauruses.

Do you think caveman Maury had a show featuring the female Nigersauruses asking the male Nigersauruses 'are you my baby daddy?'



[car crash sound] it sounded better in my head [/car crash sound]

Who wants to search all the stories relating to this dinosaur to find the one I'm sure is out there where they accidentally drop the extra G in there.

COMEDY PYRAMID!!


How long does it take a Nigersaurus to take a shit?

What does a young Nigersaurus get for Christmas?

What do you say to a Nigersaurus in a suit?

[tysonpunchinguterus]

The Nigersauraus became extinct when a large meteor wiped out all the welfare checks.

[Xyn]

The nigersaurus is a better eater to begin with because he has been bred to be that way. This goes all the way back to the Cretaceous Period when the dinosaur owner would breed his big nigersaurus to his big woman nigersaurus so that he could have a big nigersaurus kid. See?

Ding ding..

[Fr. Dougal]

Why are the palms and soles of the Nigersauruses white?

[wes mantooth]

What goes niger niger niger, chink chink chink?

[Stormrider666]

Do you think the caveman would complain about the value of their caves going down, when the nigersaurus would start roaming around their caves.

[Butter Nuggets]

Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said Dead Nigersaurus Storage?

No. I didn't.

You know WHY you didn't see that sign?

Why?

'Cause it ain't there, 'cause storing dead Nigersaurus' ain't my fucking business, that's why!

[wes mantooth]

The teradactyl said "Africa, they're everywhere!"

[BIV]

How much you want to bet that the Nigersaurus doesn't prosper in semi-aquatic regions.

"Look at that little monkeysaurus run!"

[LiddyRules]

There was a banned episode of Dinosaurs featuring the Nigersaurus.
"Ain't the Daddy! Ain't the Daddy!"

[BIV]

Think they drink papaya flavored Kool-Aid while eating fried pterodactyl?

Lock the thread. It's over.

Lock the thread. It's over.

Actually, I think I can top that line. I just don't want to

[Fr. Dougal]

"Are you a field Nigersaurus... or a house Nigersaurus?"

[Stormrider666]

You think Mr. Slate was required to have a certain amount of nigersauruses on the payroll.

[Zona992006]

Ok, that was good. Finally some originality.

(at parties, don't you love balloon's?)

[Fr. Dougal]

I wonder if there was a Nigersauruses Only watering hole...

[CM Mark]

The nest next door to me's been sold to Nigersauruses!

[wes mantooth]

Nigersauruses were known to wear chandeliers around their necks for bling.

[Zona992006]

The nest next door to me's been sold to Nigersauruses!

Nest door....lol You wouldn't want some ignant Nigersauruses's living next door. :icon_cool

What do you call an African Dinosaur with AIDS

Nigersaurus (Niger-sore-ass) get it ? No ? oh well.
