限制性which从句可以修饰整个句子吗

The dinosaur is about 95 million years old; it lived during the Cretaceous period and ate only plants which means that it was a herbivore.

请问老师：

which means…是限制性定语从句修饰句子“it ate only plants”吗？非限制性which从句是可以修饰句子，但是限制性的用法不清楚

倾向于把此句解释为并列分句，而第二分句承前省略了主语it，即:

it lived during the Cretaceous period and (it) ate only plants which means that it was a herbivore.

语意上，觉得which从句和其前分句it ate only plants的关系更为密切，可以解释为第二分句的非限定性关系从句，关系代词which指代第二分句的具体内容，关系从句对其具有补充说明的作用。

个人理解，仅供参考。

which means…是非限制性定语从句，修饰The dinosaur is about 95 million years old; it lived during the Cretaceous period and ate only plants。非限制性定语从句前面通常用逗号，但是有时也可以不用逗号，主要应该根据句意来判断。
