What preyed on Lambeosaurus?
« Thread Started on Feb 2, 2012, 3:45am »
Hey guys,

I need some help. I can't seem to get any clear info as to what predators preyed on Lambeosaurus. Can someone tell me?

Thanks

Lambeosaurus was a very wide ranging genus, but their primary predators were probably tyrannosaurs like Albertasaurus & Labocania and deinonychisaurs like Dromaeosaurus & Saurornitholestes

Hope this helps! :)

Deinosuchus is a good candidate too. Quetzalcoatlus like Azdarchids were probably after hatchlings and juveniles quite often.

And ...well, some ceratopsians may have fed on dead lambeos....

It's possible that ceratopsians may have been omnivorous. I think Mark Witton or someone drew an omnivorous Styracosaurus a while back, with an explanation as to the evidence for omnivory. Can't exactly remember what he said though.

He basically compared them to pigs behavior wise saying the beak would have been a strong tool for breaking bones and whatever. Parrots have strong beaks very similar to those yet they don't eat any meat though. In otherwords its just an idea with no actual evidence to back it up as of now.

Tyrannosaurs, basically. Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus for the species found in the Dinosaur Park Formation. Young juveniles might also have been attacked by the likes of Dromaeosaurus, Saurornitholestes and Troodon.

Well...the teeth on ceratopsids appear to be those of a plant eater. So sure yeah I guess its possible (seemingly herbivorous animals can surprise us was it a deer in scotland that was eating birds or something?...) My point is its not like they found bone fragments in a ceratopsid stomach or anything.

Hey thanks, guys. I was initially planning to create a diorama with a T-Rex and Lambeosaurs then I realized they didn't quite live in the same time period...sigh...Unfortunately, my T-Rex cannot pass for a Daspletosaurus

If you have modeling skills you still might be able to make them pass for Tarbosaurus and Olorotitan. :)

As others have said, Lambeosaurus lambei lived alongsie both Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus. L. magnicristatus lived alongside Daspletosaurus only.

Not really that disturbing, no more so than us humans eating other mammals. I suppose if he actually asked for chicken like that then yes that would be disturbing.
I guess I should add that most of the chickens I've kept also like eating chicken. :P

Hippos will scarvenge other artiodactyls, deer eat birds... Meat is nutritious, and "herbivores" won't let an opportunity to get some. Ceratopsians have the most generalist mouths of all derived herbivore dinosaurs.
