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. |

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. |
