Dinosaur Hall - Diatryma
Diatryma lived 55 million years ago in the
Cenozoic Era, after the extinction of dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous
Period about 65 million years ago. Scientists have debated whether
Diatryma, who could not fly, was a carnivore (meat-eater) or herbivore
(plant-eater). Modern large flightless birds, like ostriches, are all
herbivores, adding weight to the view that Diatryma was a
plant-eater.
