      Good question! Some big dinosaurs like the T-Rex are carnivores so eat meat. Other big dinosaurs like the Sauropods are herbivores so only eat plants 🙂

      The biggest dinosaur in our exhibit is Masiakasaurus, which ate meat!

      You can learn a lot about what dinosaurs ate by looking at fossilised teeth! If they are flat (like our molars at the back of our mouth) they probably ate plants. If they are sharp and pointy (like our canines) they probably ate meat. Dinosaurs with teeth that a cone/ peg shaped probably ate slippery fish!
