What did dinosaurs like T-Rex originally eat? Well, most people wouldn’t hesitate to say “meat”! After all, look at their teeth! But what do big, sharp teeth actually tell us?

Well, all big teeth tell us is that the creature had …well … big teeth. It doesn’t necessarily mean it ate meat. See many creatures today, such as pandas or fruit bats, have scary-looking teeth. But they only eat plants and fruit.

According to Genesis one, originally, everything was vegetarian. And, yes, that includes dinosaurs. Which means T-rex used those massive teeth to shred vegetation. It wasn’t until after sin creatures ate one another.
