You Were Not Defenseless
There is an old saying that "the pen is mightier than the sword," but what about dinosaurs? The fact is that while many dinosaurs were herbivores, they were also equipped with a variety of weapons for protection. These included horns, claws, and spikes, as well as the ability to run fast or kick hard. And while carnivores like Tyrannosaurus Rex were fearsome, their prey had some clever tricks up their sleeves, too.
