it was just a herbivore 300 millions years ago but imagine if it had be carnivore it would probably even eat utah raptors but it looks too slow moving to be a predator but i doubt any carnivores messed with it and if they did they probably got seriously hurt trying to do anything to this monstrosity
It was a herbivore, and existed long, long, long before any dinosaurs did.

Apperantly some think it's a omnivore. That being said that's one tough little Animal, I've got tiny 5 centimeters long milipeds and even they bite preety hard. That one was probably a monster.

True, but it would have been horrible inflexible and ill suited to actually fighting anything.

I'm sure it was. Though I doubt it could kill a utahraptor.

Yeah a Utahraptor would crush it fairly easily.

this is a very interesting post and that's a fact ignored by all
many less sophisticated living beings with size advantage or some higher skill eat much more sophisticated beings as vertebrates, it is something very interesting

If something is clamped on inside their mouth, what is a frog going to do? Not like they have teeth and can just chew it up.
