Still Waters Posted October 5, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Giant plant-eating dinosaurs may have been champion chewers up there with the likes of mammals such as horses, bison or elephants, researchers say. The finding could help explain why these behemoths dominated the plains of Europe, Asia and North America during the last part of the age of dinosaurs, scientists added. Duck-billed herbivores called hadrosaurids thundered across the world during the Late Cretaceous period, dating about 65 million to 100 million years ago. They grazed on horsetails, ferns and primitive flowering plantson the ground, and browsed on Earth's conifers. http://www.livescien...plex-teeth.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted October 5, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2012 If they are big they would have to be good at chewing in order to consume enough food for their size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
