Tyrannosaurus rex

[Spalea]

Now, the T.-rex is a very smart dinosaur ! That is the great tendancy nowaday.
Here, you are a few videos illustrating this:

At first, the video I posted in an other thread (Dinosaur news):

It's explaned the new principe: rather than dividing the brain weight by the body weight (EQ), a scientist Suzana Herculano Houzel prefers to consider the neuron density in the "pallium", the brain region that forms the cortex and the area that predicts the innovativ ability in birds which are the closest relatives of the theropods. By this method, the results are very amazing: T-rex with 3,3 billion neurons for a 343 grams-brain. That is more than in the baboon's brain. In fact the t-rex. are only exceeded by chimps and humans.

So here are other few other videos about these performing t-rex's brains:

Non exhaustiv list...

To tell you the truth, I didn't watch them all... But we can consider that the t-rex's intelligence is the new subject that shakes the internauts community interested by the paleontology. What do I think about that ? Even if we, humans, are very good at going from one extreme to the other, it's a very good news. Because reality is much more fascinating than preconceived ideas (dinosaurs were all stupid animals, humans are the only one intelligent ones and so on). That makes us think about it... Reply
