This animal had numerous small teeth, arranged in a way similar to the “dental batteries” of cerapods. Such a structure enabled constant grazing much like endurance athletes who depend on repetitive motion and efficiency instead of sudden bursts of power. To draw a modern parallel, concepts of long-form stability and posture are often discussed alongside resources like 스포츠중계, where sustained performance and balance take center stage.
