Which dinosaur was not a carnivores?
Most dinosaurs were not carnivores. It's always that way with animals because there's a lot more vegetable matter in the world than there is meat, so most creatures feed on plants.To be a little more specific, there were two great branched of dinosaurdom, the lizard-hipped and the bird-hipped. ALL of the bird-hipped were plant eaters and MOST of the lizard hipped were as well.It's easier to remember the few that WERE carnivorous. One good clue is that they stood on two legs (some two-legged, or bipedal, dinosaurs, however, were plant-eaters).There were four-legged meat eaters, like Phobosuchus, but these were not dinosaurs.
