Aegyptosaurus was a massive vegetarian Sauropod that lived around 100 to 95 million years ago during the middle Cretaceous period. It had a very long neck and equally long tail and stood on four large long legs.

The only fossil specimens of Aegyptosaurus were discovered in Egypt, Niger and the Sahara desert before 1939. Unfortunately they were destroyed during an air raid on Munich in World War Two and so little is known of it.
