Did you know that there are over 700 known species of dinosaurs? And those are only the ones we are aware of! Given their size and weight, it’s no wonder that these massive creatures needed to eat a lot to survive. But what exactly are they eating? In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at the diets of different types of dinosaurs ranging from the dinosaur with the hard head to the dinosaurs that ruled the sky.

As the number of carnivores in a population rises, they consume more herbivores, which lowers the number of herbivores. It becomes increasingly difficult for predators to find herbivores to eat, and their numbers decline. In this manner, the predators and herbivores maintain a stable balance, restricting each other’s growth. Both plants and plant-eaters are in an equilibrium.
