<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="conflicto-antarcticus"></dinofyi-dinosaur>An extinct herbivorous bird from Antarctica, Conflicto antarcticus is among the rare avian fossil taxa known from the Antarctic continent. Its herbivorous diet and Antarctic provenance make it a significant record of Paleogene or Eocene avifaunas from high southern latitudes, when Antarctica was warmer and forested before the formation of permanent ice sheets.
Diet & Feeding
Conflicto antarcticus was a plant-eating dinosaur. Herbivores typically fed on ferns, cycads, conifers, and other vegetation available during their era. Many herbivorous dinosaurs developed specialized teeth and digestive systems for processing tough plant material.
