Will dinosaurs eat their own kind? Why are there so many types of dinosaurs?

Only Majunsaurus and Coecosaurus will eat.

The high variability of dinosaurs is high, so there are many species. Dinosaurs are a successful biomorphoplasma, and mammals.

Derived from a rodent morphomorphic protoplasma. There are two reasons why this protoplasm can accelerate differentiation and reproduction, and occupy ecosystems. One is more adaptable to the new environment, the other is high mutation ability, mutation speed is an inherent attribute of biological genes, the high variability of dinosaurs determines that it is a successful species, such as dinosaur descendants birds are also one of the most abundant creatures today.

Introduction to DinosaursDinosaur (English name: dinosaur) refers to the triceratops.

Modern birds and diplodocus.

The most recent common ancestor and all his descendants.

To facilitate research, dinosaurs can be divided into avian and non-avian dinosaurs. Among them, non-avian dinosaurs lived only in the Mesozoic era (Triassic, Jurassic.

and Cretaceous), all of which became extinct 65 million years ago. This entry mainly introduces non-avian dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs are divided into two categories: carnivorous dinosaurs and vegetarian dinosaurs. There are also some dinosaurs who were originally meat eaters, but later evolved into omnivores, eating both meat and vegetarians. Like living animals, the number of dinosaurs that ate meat was small, and the number of dinosaurs that ate plants was large, accounting for the vast majority.

The most famous of the carnivorous dinosaurs is the Tyrannosaurus rex, but there are also Leaping Dragons, Dinosaurus and Yongchuan Dragons. The main predators of large carnivorous dinosaurs were large herbivorous dinosaurs, such as Diplodocus, Brontosaurus, Mamenxisaurus and Hadosaurus.

Small carnivorous dinosaurs ate small animals such as small reptiles, insects and mammals, a small, lightweight, carnivorous dinosaur that lived by stealing eggs from other dinosaurs. Its fossils have been found in Mongolia, in the nest of a dinosaur egg.

Some dinosaurs may have fed exclusively on ants, like anteaters in modern animals. Carnivorous dinosaurs usually had short forelimbs, but the giant hand dinosaurs found in Mongolia had forelimbs as long as 3 meters and huge front claws. Some believe that giant-handed dinosaurs may have fed on termites, and that their huge forelimbs and claws were tools for digging termite nests.

Dinosaurs that eat plants have a hearty food to enjoy, and plants such as pine, ginkgo, cycads, and ferns can satisfy the different tastes of different dinosaurs. Herbivorous dinosaurs had slightly different diets in different periods.

During the Triassic, the land was still relatively inhospitable, volcanoes, ** were frequent, forests coexisted with large arid deserts, and the dinosaurs fed mainly ferns, cedar leaf algae, and some tall conifers and small patches of cypress, ginkgo and iron trees.

During the Jurassic period, vast swaths of desert were replaced by lush greenery. They no longer have to worry about finding food. But the Jurassic dinosaurs didn't have the opportunity to eat fresh grass and flowering plants.

Tall dinosaurs, such as Brachiosaurus, ate coniferous branches and ginkgo biloba, while dwarf dinosaurs ate ferns and algae.

The Cretaceous period was the heyday of herbivorous dinosaurs. The forest is home to a variety of new plants, including tall oak and hickory trees, ginkgo biloba, and conifers that became food for the tall dinosaurs. The dwarf herbivorous dinosaurs had more abundant food, grass grew from the ground, and flowering plants appeared.

Primitive roses, magnolias, and water lilies became their new food.

More than 100 million years ago, in the mid-to-late Jurassic, what did herbivorous dinosaurs eat?

Dinosaurs are divided into herbivorous and carnivorous, herbivorous dinosaurs eat plants, and carnivorous eat meat.

Dinosaurs are mainly divided into two categories, one is carnivorous dinosaurs, the other is vegetarian dinosaurs, and some of them were originally meat-eating, but later became omnivorous dinosaurs and ate almost everything.

Dinosaurs are also divided into two types: herbivorous and carnivorous. The main herbivorous food** is grass leaves and leaves, while carnivorous foods have a wider range of foods, and most of them are cannibalism.

Most vegetarian dinosaurs probably ate some leaves or some plants or some plant fruits, etc. Most carnivorous dinosaurs may eat dinosaurs that are smaller than their stature or vegetarian dinosaurs, or they may be other animals.

Dinosaurs are divided into carnivorous dinosaurs and herbivorous dinosaursCarnivorous dinosaurs eat some small, lightweight dinosaurs that live by stealing eggs from other dinosaurs. Herbivorous dinosaurs generally ate plants such as pines and cypresses, ginkgo biloba, etc.

When the dinosaurs first evolved, they were all carnivorous animals, and they lived by eating foreign reptiles. At first they were a "minority", and later they became the dominant animals on land.

Due to the extinction of a large number of foreign reptiles that ate plants, there is a large surplus of plant food on the earth, so that some of the dinosaurs that eat meat have changed from eating meat to vegetarian. As a result, dinosaurs have a distinction between meat and plant food.

Meat-eating dinosaurs mainly lived on plant-eating dinosaurs, the former being a minority and the latter being the vast majority.

Extended information: Dinosaurs, which survived in the Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Triassic geological ages, can be roughly divided into three categories: herbivorous dinosaurs, carnivorous dinosaurs, and omnivorous dinosaurs

Type 1 Herbivorous dinosaurs: Most of them lived in forests near water sources, and their purpose was to facilitate access to water and food. Among the herbivorous dinosaurs, the more representative ones are Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, Brontosaurus, etc.

The second type of omnivorous dinosaurs: Ornithischians, Archaeopteryx, and Oviraptosaurus are more representative, and they rarely live in groups, and most of them are scattered everywhere. There are exceptions only when migrating or traveling far.

The third type of carnivorous dinosaurs: Carnivorous dinosaurs mostly lived in a fixed place, in the case of the well-known tyrannosaurus rex (Tyrannosaurus rex), they sometimes lived in caves in the mountains and forests, sometimes in dense jungles, and they hunted for food by raid.

Tyrannosaurus rex eats meat, Tyrannosaurus rex is located at the top of the food chain in the late Cretaceous period, and all kinds of dinosaurs in North America can basically become its hunting objects, and Tyrannosaurus rex will choose to look for carrion for food when it is injured and weak.

The Tyrannosaurus rex was large and had an amazing appetite. Some estimate that it eats an average of more than 90 kilograms of meat per day to survive. From this point of view, if the Tyrannosaurus rex eats fresh meat all at once, I am afraid that this supply will be difficult to guarantee, and Ku Wang Nian often spends effort to hunt down the prey, and there is no guarantee that he will be able to go to Chengling every time.

Carnivorous dinosaurs preyed on herbivorous dinosaurs, while herbivorous dinosaurs mainly ate plants, mainly ferns.
