Herbivorous

Millions and millions of years ago, dinosaurs roamed the earth. Some of them ate meat, some of them plants, and others ate both. Herbivores were the ones that only ate plants. The term herbivorous can apply to creatures other than just dinosaurs. Any creature can be considered an herbivore. Dinosaurs such as stegosaurs could be considered herbivores because they only eat plants. They are not a direct threat to other dinosaurs and they do not hunt or stalk their food. They are usually peaceful and harmless.

Carnivorous

The dinosaurs roamed the earth many, many millions of years ago. Some dinosaurs, such as the Velociraptor or the T-Rex, were carnivorous. This means that these dinosaurs only ate meat. They would have to hunt down their prey by stalking them or chasing them down and attacking them. The carnivorous dinosaurs were generally more dangerous and threatening to other creatures and were usually more aggressive as well. Different carnivores had different tactics to catching their food. Some would stalk. Some would chase. Some would even swim up from under their unsuspecting prey and drag them underwater and devour them.
