How dangerous were herbivorous dinosaurs?
Herbivorous dinosaurs were large and widespread animals that dominated the Mesozoic Era. Despite their size and strength, they were not as dangerous as the carnivorous dinosaurs. Although herbivorous dinosaurs could defend themselves with their horns, claws, and teeth, they were not usually predators and usually avoided confrontations. They used their sharp teeth to bite off plants and their claws to dig for food. While some species were able to eat large quantities of food quickly, they were mostly gentle giants who posed little risk to humans.
