All carnivorous dinosaurs belonged to the suborder Theropoda, meaning 'beast-footed'. This includes dromaeosaurs like Velociraptor, Carnosaurs such as Allosaurus and Tyrannosaurus, and abeliosaurs like Carnotaurus and Majungasaurus. Yes, all of these walked on two feet, but not all two-legged dinosaurs were carnivores. Ornithomimids and Therizinosaurs had teeth designed more for stripping the plant material off of leaves than for active hunting, more likely being herbivores or omnivores.

Why are there different dinosaurs?

There are different kinds of dinosaurs for the same reasons that their are different kinds of birds and mammals. Dinosaurs, like modern animals, evolved to match their environment and survive to reproduce. Some dinosaurs evolved long necks to eat branches off tall trees, and some dinosaurs evolved sharp teeth to eat other dinosaurs. Some dinosaurs evolved horns and thick skin to defend themselves against predators, and others developed thin frames and long legs to run away from predators. The basic principles of evolution worked the same way for dinosaurs as they do for modern organisms. Dinosaurs evolved into such diverse specihowes because they were the dominant vertebrates for over 160 million years.

Are dinosaurs enemies with each other?

The natural enemies of herbivorous dinosaurs were carnivorous dinosaurs, which hunted them. Carnivorous dinosaurs probably hunted smaller carnivorous species for food, and fought with those of their own or other species that were evenly matched over food. However, herbivorous dinosaurs probably only fought with predators or with others of their own species over mates.


Did herbivore dinosaurs ever attack?

Herbivorous dinosaurs, excluding ankylosaurs and stegosaurs, probably fled from predators whenever possible, but would have fought when cornered. Ankylosaurs and stegosaurs were very slow, so they would have stood their ground, using their spiked or clubbed tails as weapons against predators. Some herbivorous dinosaurs, including ceratopsians and pachycephalosaurs, may have fought others of their species over mates.
