I've seen videos of horses and deer eating small animals. I don't remember which was which but one just picked like a pigeon up off the ground and started chewing.

Anyways, the point is that the herbivores we know today will often eat meat if it's an easy meal. There's no reason to think that a brachiosaurus would be any different.

I distinctly remember a horse eating a baby chicken.
