nigerasaurus
There are lots more animals, but check out these dinosaur bones! The zoo has three complete dinosaur skeletons--amazing really, any museum in the world would be envious. The bones were all collected in northern Niger and I predict in the future this will be one hot spot for dino-tourism. They have a treasure-trove of undiscovered bones up there. These don't even have labels, sit out in the weather all year, and people can touch them. Don't know how long these treasures will last.
You framed this shot very well! It looks as though the dinosaur has a mouthful of tourists!

I've been beaten to the punch, but nicely framed nonetheless.
It looks like you were able to get very close to the exhibits here. Great fun.

I can't get past those sharp teeth! Wow! But I've never heard of a Nigerasaurus before. That must be a local specimen. -:)

This is a truly remarkable post for the picture and for the information about the dinosaur bones in the area.

Fun shot, beautifully done!
And your comment is just flabbergasting. Indeed Niger should be the number one dino tourism destination!

Great shot and cute title! Nigerasaurus certainly has a mouthful of fresh young kids.

Well worked picture. I need a lot of practise to be able to compose a shot like that. Thanks for bringing the dino to life!
