I never thought Troodon would eat plants in any capacity, but this new study suggesting they were omnivores is fascinating. I suppose it makes sense, they're often considered the smartest of the dinosaurs and a mixed diet is fueled the brains our ancestors to develop to where they are now.

And so the dinosaurs previously named for their "hurting teeth" and previously thought to be flesh-eating pachycephalosaurs/hypsilophodonts ... became plant-eating bird ancestors. 😅 Troodon has a wilder history than Spinosaurus by this point!

While we cannot know for sure I would dare to suggest that diet of troodontids would largely depend on the environment and species hence why we get omnivory edging closer to plant eating as a result. We have to remember that this isn't one species but whole group and that as a rule herbivores are more abundant. If we have group with wide distribution of food specialization and fairly short time for speciation omnivory is the natural conclusion

But then again troodontids as a lineage have been very diverse and there were countless species of them, so surely there will be a range in diets from herbivore, omnivore to maybe a carnivore At the very least even if many of the members are largely herbivorous there still must’ve been omnivorous species like corvids

Considering how wildly diet can vary in our living omnivores from age, time, season, place or even invidudual preferences, omnivorous dinosaurs were most likely the same.

it may be that these troodontids in these paleological sites, like The maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus), fed on certain plants for purposes other than food (Fruit, as can be seen from the molars particularly suited to the purpose, constitutes an important component of the diet, in particular the wild tomato plant (Solanum lycocarpum, also called wolf fruit or "lobeira") without which the animal would suffer from kidney stones through its excrements dispersing the seeds of the plant. We can therefore speak of a real and own biocoenosis. =from Wikipedia, it is only a possible scientific justification, perhaps not the right one but realistic)

@Ozraptor4 I thought latenivenatrix WAS the Alaskan troodon given a name, but either way, I meant more carnivores as in more carnivores than not at all. Like most troodontids, it was still omnivorous. The study only said the troodontids were SLIGHTLY more herbivorous but are still omnivorous, and only troodontids from the formation they studied. What about other formations? Troodontids are not a species. They're a clade and very likely had a different kind of diet depending on the environment they lived in. They didn't say troodontids were definitely herbivorous. That assumption doesn't even make sense, considering many troodontids were obviously built to be more than just small herbivores. Many still had pointy teeth, which were good for catching small prey, along with flattened molar-like teeth for eating plants.

I legit thought this video was about to confirm them as herbivorous and not just omnivores as always speculated

Troodontidae has always been a valid clade. The namesake genus: _Troodon_ isn't Similarly, Ceratopsidae and Hadrosauridae are both valid clades but _Ceratops_ and _Hadrosaurus_ themselves are dubious at best

Wait troodontids we’re mostly herbivorous? I remember them being considered omnivores but not nearly herbivores!

The paper doesn't construct any strong proof of Troodontids being exclusive herbivores; there's no fossil evidence--that's what we need! Above all else, Pachycephalosaurs are absent from the study which could solidify their theory in my opinion and shouldn't count as definitive proof (5:19). Look, we all came to the consensus these theropods established a diverse dietary behavior thus far. But the specifics of which species in the group specialize in carnivory or herbivory or both still remains unclear. So until we find more evidence, let's not jump to conclusions to where this paper is cited as a leading source.

You do such a great job in most respects, do us all a favour and get some elocution coaching to fix those sibilant 's' s (Latin derived words ending in -a, become -ae plural - do practise that pronunciation too, you mangled it)

You can bet your bottom dollar they ate anything that they could catch. And in a pinch other stuff. Our grizzlies eat many things but would rather take a caribou
