Aegyptosaurus Dinosaur

Aegyptosaurus Dinosaur ("Egyptian Lizard") is a type of dinosaur believed to have lived in Africa about 95 million years ago, during the mid- and late-Cretaceous period.

Aegyptosaurus Dinosaur

This quadrupedal sauropod was an herbivore and its fossils have been found in Egypt, Niger and in several different locations of the Sahara Desert. All known examples were discovered before 1939. Its fossils were stored in Munich but were obliterated when a bombing raid destroyed the museum where they were kept in 1944, during World War II.

Aegyptosaurus Dinosaur weighed roughly 10.5 tons and was over 6 feet tall and 50 feet long. It had a neck of over average length and a small skull. This animal's long tail probably acted as a counterweight to its body mass.

Aegyptosaurus Dinosaur was a close relative of Argentinosaurus, a larger dinosaur found in South America. It was believed that it may have evolved from its South American relative after crossing the ancient land bridge between Africa and South America.
