Were dinosaurs vegan? Well science is divided on the matter but let us look at the largest dinosaur... the 'T Rex' and how they coexisted with humans

all those thousands of years (yes, thousands...perhaps as long as 6000 years ago). Well, let us look at the name, the 'T Rex. This actually means the 'Tree Rexington' and this dinosaur used its huge teeth to cut down huge trees to make the World habitable. The T Rex also ate the trees it cut down and did not eat meat. But! (I hear you ask), what was the relationship with humans?

Well humans were the first life form on our Earth and we used the T Rex to clear the big trees away and dig canals for the future populations, we had a good relationship but we must not forget that 6000 years ago humans stood over 125 feet tall so the Tree Rex would have been in awe of our ancestors. What do I mean by 'awe', well the dinosaurs would have looked at our ancestors and thought 'awe, look at the size of them...I will not be messing with them.

Thoughts please.

I have a few books on this by fellow experts in the field of Dinosaur research. Sharing the knowledge gleaned, apparently many fossils of tree living chimps - in fact thousands - have been dug up, the fossils very much mangled. The upshot is - and this is only theory mind - that the dinosaurs, as they digested the trees, when such trees were full of chimps, they would spit them out at various stages of mastication. Thus suggesting they were indeed vegan, not wishing to ingest the chimps.

Obviously further studies need to be made. In fact, I shall be making a field trip to Epping Forest next week.

@SW-User I have suspected this, and I agree much mor research is needed. Please update me on your progress.

@AndysAttic Will do. We experts should share our knowledge ( nevertheless, remain humble - we stand on the necks of giants)

@SW-User Have you tried any of the forests that don't Epp?

@Really Not as yet, but this is definitely on my agenda.
