Elephants are herbivores too. And you definitely do not fuck with elephants in the wild.
I’ve seen videos of horses and deer eating small animals. I don’t remember which was which but one just picked like a pigeon up off the ground and started chewing.
Anyways, the point is that the herbivores we know today will often eat meat if it’s an easy meal. There’s no reason to think that a brachiosaurus would be any different.
I distinctly remember a horse eating a baby chicken.
Who started the assumption that herbivores were all sweet harmless cuddle bugs anyhow? Because they had obviously never interacted with a large herbivore before.
People are gored by bison at Yellowstone every year. When I visited a few years ago, the rangers were actively having to tell people to avoid an elk who, with his harem, had decided to hang out in Fort Yellowstone for a couple days. People are dumb, or don’t think “wow that’s a 600+ lb animal the size of a minivan”.
Both of them attack. It’s just that carnivores treat it as you owe them money.
And herbivores treat it as they owe you money.
I was there.
65000000 years ago.
Edvard Munch inspired parts of this cartoon, and I like it.
Herbivores will wreck your life if you mess with them. Remember that twit hunter who approached a deer and paid for it? Or all those other twits who need to be reminded bison in Yellowstone are NOT friendly just because they’re fluffy?

They might have been dolphins of the time.
This made me think of the episode Plague of Madness from Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal.
