Question

What type of food did the Zhenyuanlong eat?

Answer 1

Zhenyuanlong suni was a dromaeosaurid theropod, so it was carnivorous. No stomach contents are known, but its teeth, claws (including the sickle claw on the foot), and close relationship to other "raptor" dinosaurs indicate it ate meat — likely small vertebrates (small dinosaurs, lizards, mammals, possibly birds or fish), and probably scavenged opportunistically.
