What weapons did dinosaurs have?
The meat-eating dinosaurs had sharp teeth and clawed feet with which to kill their prey. Many of the plant-eating dinosaurs also had weapons, which were needed to fight off the meat eaters. Some had clubs or spikes on the ends of their tails. Some, like Triceratops, had horns on their heads. They may have used these to fight each other as well, in the way that stags clash antlers today.
