It certainly wouldn't go like this would it? I mean, the small mammal increasing in size and whatnot makes some amount of sense, but for what means of survival would an animal, not only go from a carnivore to a herbivore, but lose all of it's defensive means as well?

Chickens are omnivores and the reason the dinosaurs died out or evolved into smaller species is because the bigger you are = the more food you need. When the meteor struck Animals died out in astonishing rates, so less fauna for large carnivores to prey or scavenge upon

maybe it´s prey wandered off/became extinct so it had to find a new source of food(->plants)

Also if there´s a lack of food, being huge isn´t helping you(more weight->needs more food)so it became smaller.

And if there´s nothing to hunt them, they don´t need defensive means->they lose them

Yeah that's one thing that confuses me. Why would a massive animal that can kill whatever it wants turn into a pussy that can't do shit?

Maybe when the meteor struck, or whatever killed off the dinosaurs happened, being a smaller creature who can eat plants and live on less food in general became "useful survival skill" instead of "prey for the bigger things"

Too adapt to environment maybe? I'm actually not too sure.
