Herbivores (plant-eaters):
* Young sauropods (like Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus) likely started with soft, leafy plants and ferns.
* Small ornithopods (like Iguanodon and Hadrosaurus) would have nibbled on low-lying plants, seeds, and fruits.
* Ankylosaurs and Stegosaurus probably started with tender vegetation before developing their adult diets.
Carnivores (meat-eaters):
* Baby theropods (like Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptor) would have been fed meat by their parents. They likely ate insects, small reptiles, and mammals.
Omnivores (both plants and animals):
* Some dinosaurs, like Ornithomimids (bird-like dinosaurs), may have been omnivorous, eating a mix of plants and small animals.
Important Note:
* We can't be 100% sure what every baby dinosaur ate. Scientists study fossils, footprints, and the environment of the time to learn about their diets.
* Baby dinosaurs would have grown and changed their diets as they got older, just like baby animals today.
It's amazing to think about the incredible diversity of these creatures and how they evolved to thrive in their prehistoric world!
