Outside of mammals herbivores are almost unheard of, they are less common than you might assume I don't see why hadrosaurs couldn't have scavenged, predatory behavior feels unlikely, but omnivorous seems reasonable |

Isn't muttaburrasaurus a rhabdodontid? |

Seeing their teeth, I guess they are kind of like Ceratopsians'. So yeah, probably they ate small animals while they are eating vegetation. IMO, they are comparable to Prosauropods, that probably ate small animals too, that is on the plant it is eating. But I doubt it killed anything the size of Parkosaurus, or ground carcasses. |

Hadrosaur teeth are adapted to grinding tough plant material. Hadrosaur beaks are adapted to gathering plant material. The flattened beak would be useless for stripping meat from carcasses. At most, the hadrosaur could scavenge animals no bigger than a mouthful. Edited by Similis, Jun 6 2014, 08:24 AM.

even with great difficulty eating meat, I can't imagine they would pass up a carcass but whose to say |

Most modern mammalian herbivores today eat carcasses when desperate. There's even the Tetrapod Zoology annecdote of an elephant eating a man. |

I think most dinosaurs would've eaten some meat occasionally with hadrosaurs being no exception, I just find it unlikely that they would've eaten enough meat to be considered omnivores in the manner of ceratopsians. Their anatomy just looks wrong for a pig-like omnivore IMO. |

Not a dinosaur, but this Dimorphodon is pretty cool.

Well to be honest it just looks like a vampire puffin. I'm not a big fan of reconstructions that just copy modern animals

to me the fossils of dimorphodon skulls just look like vampire puffins, so I like it not saying I think such extremes of convergent evolution are likely, but it makes for a cool homage |

As expected Julio Larceda made an amazing piece of art. |
