Grant:He can’t see you if you don’t move
T.Rex:Are you sure about that?
This literally happened to a different character in Crichton's "the Lost World novel".
T.Rex: "Am I a joke to you?"

Personally, I think that Tyrannosaurus Rex was as intelligent as a grizzly bear. It's a generalist carnivore that had patience,it knew to observe and when to back off. While I don't think they're as intelligent as baboons(mainly because the study Clayton is talking about has questionable results) I don't buy into the idea that these animals were stupid,most animals are more conscious than we give them credit for.
I would say a crow(crows are very smart if you did not know)
@@jwdominionpyroraptor4775 i know that they're smart.
Consciousness is not the same as intellectual capacity. An animal can have a substantial intellectual prowess and yet be totally unaware of itself.
I think it's weird to compare dinosaurus to mammals, especially the bird-like theropods. I mean, they're bird-like. Why not compare their intelligence to some of the smarty pants birds?
@JWdominion Pyroraptor
A local murder of crows has been engaging in an ongoing harassment campaign against my dog for several years.
They fly over and rilre him up, then bombard him with tiny sticks.
It's amazing to watch.
It makes perfect sense that Trex was above average intelligence especially because of its speed and arm limitations; it would need a higher intelligence to scavenge, intimidate other dinosaurs and use ambush tactics. Spinosaurus probably lived similarly to crocodiles and alligators which largely involves waiting for fish and easy caught prey species to come to them.
T. Rex was not a scavenger you buffoon
Except there where no such thing as "speed limitations", at least not in the way we previously thought, the Rex wasn not able to run, like many other big theropods, but they could do a "fast walk", said walk is estimated now to be about 28KMH, wich was more than enough to give persuit and catch must of its´prey. BUT, there is more, like with many other animals 28KMH would be the top speed of the animal on a prolongued run but the animal accelaration moment when it starts giving chase would be much faster, about 40 KMH (maybe push 50) and is in the aceleration moment when must animals catch their prey. BUT there is more to it, new discoverys point to the Rex having also exceptional dribbling and turning skills for an animal its´size, due to some very srtong and mobile ankles the Rex had. Point it Rexe did fine when going after prey.
And about the arm limitation, well... No, there is a reason why Tyranossauridae family shorten those limbs, like abelisaurids, and even Charcharodontosauridaes like Meraxes Gigas, you see, the theropods arms where not as usfull as people think in the mainstream, they could not slice and dice, they could not box like bears, they could barely grapple and still was the jaws of the theropod doing must of the work, if not all of it, exception might be spinosaurids, specially the big aegypticus who could excert a 10,000 newtons (about a ton) blow with a swing of its arms and totally shater its´own bones if he hitted something lol, but apparently where better for catching prey. Again, point is, all those theropod families started shortening its´limbs cause the jaw did the work, and T Rex definetly didn´t need it, you know, the big jaws on that thing, 35,000 to 50,000 + newtons of jaw bite and that
@@antoniocenteno1483 a person educated on palaeontology in a JP channels comment section? Impossible, we are few in number
That's not supported by the fossil evidence: scavangers do not bite living game, and a corpse does not heal any more than it already has; and we *know*, from fossils, that Tyrannosaurus was a predator: due to the reality that its game escaped long enough to have healed: from bite marks *in the bones* that have healed, proven to have been done by Tyrannosaurus Rex teeth.
That study as far as intelligence
If T-Rex was a mammal it would be a bit more accurate not entirely however it's not mammalian and bird brains are different
And most animals will scavenge given the opportunity even COWS
Spinosaurus in 2042: Recent theories suggest that he was actually walking on his arms, raising his floppy legs into the air, using his sail as a device to contact Eldritch Gods. He also meowed.
Ha! I wouldn't doubt it. The Spinosaurus is the cretaceous version of a platypus.
Don't forget they fart rainbows and eat trees 😂
i swear, if i went into a cave for 500 years and re-emerged and asked the nearest human "hey, what do scientists think about the spinosaurus?" i would not be surprised if they responded saying that it was actually a sauropod that had wings and could teleport
Stuff like this makes me realize that there is always something new to discover when it comes to dinosaurs, and that's pleasing to hear as an amateur paleontologist myself.
A T-Rex with a big brain and good eyesight is about as terrifying an apex predator as I can imagine.
I mean you don't get the title of apex predator for being a chump.
Especially given the potential for social development.
Only thing worse than being hunted by a big brained, giant predator with good eyesight is when they're not alone and working together.....
@@mrb6088 And with a great sense of smell, so even if they can't see you, they know you are there. Next we should study its hearing.
I always thought the Tyrannosaurs were intelligent animals. But then again, there's no way to prove it.
I do remember some documentaries from the 90s and early 2000s saying that tyrannosaurus and it's relatives had fairly large brains. That to me when I was younger made me think that they were smarter than most dinosaurs.
Isn’t it a thing that on average predators/carnivores are smarter than their prey/herbivores?
Erm they're brain cavities say otherwise
They are using science to prove it now.
@desperate need of scotch
Wouldn't really work. The oxygen levels in their time was different from what is it is now.
Very nice to see you expanding into general paleontology instead of just the movies
Im concerned how are you everywhere i try to ignore you
I always figured Tyrannosaurs were along the lines of lions or hyenas. Some pack hunting & pack mentality, but not quite to the extent of wolves with how precise they are. Watching a pack of wolves hunt prey is really something to behold. I figured the smaller raptors had to evolve to that level of intelligence in order to not only survive, but compete. While raptors probably didn't battle t-rex, they were competing for similar food in similar locations. That's some of my theories. Thanks for the video.
I wonder if the Prehistoric Planet team considered this information when developing for Season 2 (with its first trailer already out)?
Especially since 5:44 is the main paleo-consultant of that series.
From what i've heard, one of the main problems of the T. rex intelligence study is the fact that it didn't take the brain-to-body ratio into account and relied only on brain size and neuron count. So yeah, quite a few paleontologists and other people in the paleo community share you're skepticism
Brain to body ratio works ONLY for mammals. Birds are very intelligent even when they have way smaller brains than mammals. And is especially useless with cefalopods.
Its brain to body ratio is large too tho not as smart as a baboon but more like a crow(which are very smart)
@@jwdominionpyroraptor4775 I wouldn’t say that baboons are smarter than crows.
Brain to body ratio means basically nothing. By that raw ratio, ants are smarter than people, and elephants are stupid. It doesn't work for birds or non-mammals at all. While generally larger brains equates to higher capacity for intellect, a huge cerebellum or motor cortex will not make you smarter. Non-mammalian brains do not work the same and cannot be judged the same. Birds and cephalopods are great examples: both use tools and solve problems; neither has a high ratio. Dinosaurs being closer to birds, I would expect those smaller brains to pack a ton more punch.
0:31 it’s also fascinating because rex had a similar niche to humans (minus the fire and the throwing capabilities of course) the biggest difference is how we kill prey but humans and Rex both walked at a moderate pace at thing over a long distance until thing collapsed from exhaustion or slowed down to a point where we could kill it.
Humans have a lot of adaptations for distance walking and throwing it’s really cool!
For all we know parenting Dinosaurs were probably not entirely empathetic, but mabye could've been such as in JP the lost world and if not like Lions and bears care for their cubs/kits
All I'm saying is that they probably took care of their young until they were old and big enough to leave on their own and parents most likely put their lives on their lines to defend their young from either predators or rival predatory alphas of the own species
It’s cool for them to make an article about T.Rex and Spinosaurus together without them fighting each other lol
But just about the research.
Hey Klayton how are you? I know I asked this question a while ago but are you going to play Dino Crisis again? It was fun watching & listening to your commentary
I wouldn't underestimate dinosaur intelligence, certainly an apex predator like t-Rex.
Crocodiles are shockingly smart for what they are. Whether the rex was actually as smart as a baboon or not, I can't say, but I'd easily buy it being as smart as a crocodile at the very least, and that alone is scary to me given all my years with crocs.
Nice Video analyzing the dinosaur brains especially with the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Spinosaurus and I pretty much agree with you on this especially of smart Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus are.
Great work Klayton and always, Take It Easy.
Hmm this was very interesting, I used to to think dinosaurs were just big dumb lizards but hearing studies about t-Rex’s possibly having more complex social life and solving problems makes me think what we’ll find out in the future!
The Spinosaurs' information is very interesting. Thank you for sharing it. I always thought The Tyrannosaurus Rex was a very smart dinosaur 🦕
I managed to read a little of the paper in question, and discuss it with some of my paleo contacts too. The general consensus of the author's claims is "skeptical" to say the least. lol
But could T. rex and other dinosaurs hve had the brain power to learn and remember from their lived experiences and form their own survival strategies from them? That's a very probably, yes. And you don't need baboon level intelligence for complex behaviors or even some rudimentary intelligence. Like what strategies would work for locating and tackling certain prey animals? Or even recognizing other individuals of their own species or perhaps others too? Maybe remembering experiences from previous injuries and what did/didn't work from those experiences? How/where to evade certain natural disasters they may have faced? Etc.
There are examples of several crocodilains and even varanid lizards, plus several species of bird that demonstrate the ability to actually count, which seems to be up to '7' for most of these examples. So if T. rex and other certain dinosaurs could count, would they have demonstrated a similar level of congnition? IF Troodontids had managed to evolve into sentient beings, could they have demonstrated 7-base style of mathematics?
And speaking of Troodontids, IF there were any dinosaurs from the Cretaceous that could have evolved a primitive tool crafting culture, I'd be looking at the Troodontids. And IF they had a tool making culture of some kind, I'd speculate that it could have been comparable to what we see in New Caledonian Crows, and other corvids. Or even something as simple as an Egyptian Vulture using found stones to break open ostrich eggs.
But, if their hypothetical tool culture was on par with New Caledonian Crows, how would you even be able to test for that? Any such hypothetical tool would be subject to decomposition and might not even be recognizable as a moddified stick or leaf even IF you were to stumble upon such a fossil. And you'd also need to ask/investigate what in their environment would have also applied the necessary selective pressures on them to even evolve a hypothetical tool making culture in the first place?
The study was still very intriguing, but may have jumped the shark on certain aspects. But it does raise some serious questions that maybe we should investigate for other species that could be better candidates for some of the othe claims the author makes in her paper.
Tool use can be like, picking up a stick with its mouth and using that to dislodge something that's stuck to access something underneath. However It is hilarious to imagine a t rex typing with its four fingies.
This is honestly the first time i have ever heard t-rex and intelligence in the same sentence. Im significantly older than you and i have no problem with intelligent t-rexes, just Never heard anyone ever suggest it. Troodon, dromaesaurs, other bird-like dinos sure but never rex. Just floored me when you said that. I think this is great news for rexy.
I think I heard about the study that put T. rex as intelligent as baboons and here’s what I think. I think that it was on the right track in terms of trying to find a new way to measure the intelligence of dinosaurs, but did a whole lot of wrong and exaggerated a lot, greatly skewing the resulting data. I wouldn’t take it too seriously.
The article is dead wrong: *not* all spinosaurs' skulls are specalized for fishing: Acrocanthosaurus is a North American Spinosaur, and that one has a skull designed to dining on Sauropods- but the rest of its anatomy is *specifically* spinosaurid, as the name of the species actually clearly expresses that it is a Spinosaur at that- written by the discoverer of the very same animal when he wrote up the paperwork on it.
Spinos had a non-specialized brain because it hunted on land and water equally effective. It was a much more capable survivalist than T-Rex which many still believe was mostly a scavenger. Top heavy with short arms, but high smell and visual acuity indicates it scented carrion far off. T-Rex's short femur bone indicates it was not built for speed, but for endurance that allowed it to follow the smell of dead animals for great distances.
Interesting video regarding the intelligence of dinosaurs like the spinosaurus and t-rex my opinion is as the decades to come we might discover more information regarding their intelligence.
This looks interesting.
I know that T.Rex was an intelligent dinosaur, as well as Velociraptor.
Velociraptor was not intelligent, or 6 feet tall
"How smart was T-rex?"
T-rex was smart enough to remain the only true king for 65+ million years, and even after his death;)
@@desperateneedofscotch remove that and you are just a hairless ape with above average stamina to run .
Hey Klayton, I want to recommend a particular podcast to you. The podcast is called I Know Dino: The Big Dinosaur Podcast. It’s a dinosaur/paleontology centered podcast and they actually talk about this very topic! The episode is called Was T. rex as smart as a baboon? They really get into the nitty gritty about the scientific approach that was used on this topic and what it actually means. I highly recommend you check it, especially since you made a video on the topic.
I'm from the Isle of Wight, and live in Southampton! Great to hear them getting a mention 😊
Spinosaurus When New Research About It Is Published: “Sigh. What Now?”
This made me think about a possible plot for JW4. What if after the whole world is filled with dinosaurs, that they are seen by governments as endangered species or everyday nuisances instead of something to simply wipeout. The entire theme of JW3 was that coexistence could be possible or at least worthy enough to strive for. Then experiments to mind-control (canon in JW3 from biosyn) or make dinosaurs smarter (like Planet of the Apes vibe) might cause a true dinosaur takeover. A well intentioned man-made virus or relocation programs might cause new violent territorial behaviors from dinosaur species that became accustomed to their new habitat. Scientific hubris would once again cause chaos.
Just a thought.
Anyway, social characteristics were something used in the Lost World novel, but not used in the movies to the extent that changes in group dynamics could cause cataclysmic ecological change.
I would love to see a Jurassic park film with these scientific research implemented. A 70% bigger t-Rex, the brain intelligence of it and spino being a dummy, it’ll be interesting too see.
Jurassic park is never going to be accurate. They have small things of accuracy but majority is inaccurate
@@tvvistedv3nom26 I know but one can dream.
@@RaptorRedeh it’s sci fi I’d rather a good documentary like prehistoric plant or a different series instead of trying to change what we already have in the Jurassic franchise they messed that up with dominion since the 100% “accurate” giga is not accurate and lived in North America with trex. They did have the chance but that’s definitely gone now too much to retcon.
@@tvvistedv3nom26 i guess. I just Hope next film is at least entertaining than the last one.
Spino is not a dummy Its average
And those are theorys
If you are gonna call any dino a dummy you could say stegosaurs and giganotosaurus because they are not that smart
I hope a Paleontologist such as Matthew Mossbucker who is the the Head of the Morrison Natural History Museum in Morrison Colorado,will do a CT Scan on Stegosaurus in the future to show these Herbivores weren't as Aloof as Science once had them pegged out.
Yes and study a Dilophosaurus CT scan on the Material from the 2020 Papper writen by Paleontologist Adam Marsh who is head Paleontologist at the petrified Forest National park in Arizona.😮
Okay, something to understand here. If tyrannosaurs had the same number of neurons as baboons that does not make them as smart as baboons. It simply means it takes more neurons to run a far larger body. By the way, no one knows how many neurons tyrannosaurs had. You cannot tell just by looking at the volume the brain occupied.
I mean, birds have tiny brains, and they can be crazy smart.
Have you seen the new trailer for Prehistoric Planet 2 that just got dropped about 15min ago?
And when can we get a video of you reacting to it and the first season of the show.
The fact that Baryonyx and other spinosaurs did not have specialised brains for aquatic lifestyles is fascinating as it could add to the idea they hunted on both land and in water. Though like with all interesting ideas of paleontology we will have to wait to see if more evidence can add to this.
The reason why t-rex keeps needing help or just losing is the Worf effect. In order to make their new dino feel like a threat, they pit it against t-rex and beat the t-rex.
New sub here! I enjoy these new videos and the wealth of videos on your channel to binge watch 🥰🦖🦕
I love paleontology because we are always getting new info that we can debate and speculate about
Guys, remember when T. Rex had a brain the size of a walnut?
Still Stegosaurus lol
A raven's brain is the size of a walnut. I know some people that aren't as smart as those birds. ^.^
i think it was a stegosaurus not a trex
@@FTN_Ale I heard for both. Eh.
@@FirithPandaThe size of the brain doesn’t necessarily relate to intelligence
It's all really fascinating! Some publications tend to over exaggerated some aspects to make it more appealing to the general public. So it's hard to say how much of it is like legit legit or just exaggerated. It is interesting that they compare the intelligence of a tyrannosaurus to that of a baboon. When they mentioned about advanced social aspects like culture and such, I believe it to be more akin to what we see with elephants, gathering and mourning deceased group members and stuff like that. Anyway keep up the great work Klayton and thanks for sharing this info with us and giving us your thoughts. I love the OG intro music too!! 🦖
We should also note that if there was say a dinousar as smart as us it doesn't matter if it can't form words or do maybe it has no arms or small arms limiting what they could do but not dampening their intelligence. Maybe because they were older specimens their brains also hadn't evolved yet. Plus they still lived on land and I'm sure they fought land predators maybe sea ones making them not really need change.
Interesting video
We don’t even know sometimes if we are self aware and there was a study in which chimpanzess outcompeted humans when it comes to fast learning and reaction to certain stimuly so I wouldn’t say that some animal are smarter than others but rather that some animals are better in some areas of cognition and some are worse. Also the thing with tool use, you all would be suprised how many animals use these even crocodiles, when it comes to culture when we consider only the complexity of social structures we could say that bees and ants also have one too. That is the problem when we refer to terms like language, culture, self-awerness, inteligence couse it could mean everything. For example in my opinion we put some species too much on a pedestal when we consider some of their capabilities in some aspects while ignoring other animals.
I don't know if you have done it or not but you should do videos reading the JP books. You have a good narrator voice.
i kinda love the idea of trex being smarter than spino? maybe just as someone who grew up terrified of the spinosaurus and convinced rexy was one of “the good guys”. outside of that, however, i think it makes total sense that one of the only dinosaurs to be considered smarter than trex would be troodon, maybe that would explain the behavior in the telltale game?
The Tyrannosaur talk given by Dr. David Hone at the Royal Institution might be of particular interest to any who watch this great channel, if you haven't seen it already.
All that information on tyrannosaurus Rex and spinosaurus is fantastic and interesting. In fact I love dinosaurs having intelligence similar to humans and non-human animals.
Spinosaurs were *not* specifically fish-catching animals, they were more generalist predators than most other kinds of predatory dinosaurs: they went after whatever seemed in season to go after... a grizzly bear is a pretty solid modern analogue for Spinosaurs no matter the whereabouts of the animal, regarding its home continent- which was pretty much all over the globe back in the Early Cretaceous period: some seasons, such as the wet season, they'd dine on more aquatic foods, including crocodilians and the like, in dryer times of the year, they'd eat things like sauropods and iguanadonts and the like- pretty much any source of protein it could process and bring down it would.
It's so weird to me how much of a staple troodon has been in paleontology-based media for so long after it was basically concluded to be an invalid species, to the point that even after it was already being called into question by 1991, books from the 90s and 2000s were supposedly calling it one of the smartest dinosaurs in the world. Even more wild is the fact that it was included in Jurassic Park The Game and Jurassic World Evolution.
Dinosaurs using tools and forming society? Thats East of Eden Novel! Damn!
Epic video, just so amazing and incredible
It makes sense that apex or dominant animals would be intelligent because natural selection always benefits species that put skills in intelligence because it makes it easier to over come adversity.
I just imagine a t Rex throwing a Rick at a trike to distract it while another goes for the bite
T. rex was definitely one if not the smartest of large theropods but that isn’t really saying much. Highly doubt they were anywhere near primate intelligence, had developed cultures, or could use tools but they didn’t need to anyway. It is interesting though that Spinosaurids didn’t have any unique cognitive adaptations compared to other theropods. Makes me wonder how else they were similar
Hey klayton, I was wondering, did biosyn have a base on isla nublar after jurassic Park novel
The long and short of this, #Justice4Rexie
I feel like the T-rex was, maybe not like TOOL usage smart, but definitely able to pull out some brainwaves for problem solving, more intelligent than todays apex predator's, which is a terrifying thought when you pair its power and size with a brain that smart. Maybe baboon level intelligence is an over estimate, but even if its close to that, that's terrifying to think about.
Like that Tiger that hunted that guy back to his house or something
While I don't think T.rex was modern primate smart, I do think it was significantly more intelligent than what we typically believe. We already have possible indications of complex social behavior in tyrannosaurs. There's a bonebed of *26* Albertosaurus composed of six little kids between 2 and 11 years old, seven teenagers between 12 and 16, eight fully grown adults between 17 and 23, and one much adult. Considering that we already know tyrannosaurs could be *very* antagonistic towards each other, likely to the point of cannibalism, it seems pretty unlikely that you'd have that many smaller tyrannosaurs in such close proximity to much larger ones if there wasn't some sort of familial connection. As far I know, we haven't found associations of other tyrannosaur genera in groups that large, we have found them including in T.rex itself. I find the idea of Tyrannosaurus rex potentially rolling in groups a dozen or more deep to awesome, majestic, and a little terrifying.
Interesting information and findings. I think it's really cool. 🙂👍🧠🦕🦖
Makes sense - we all saw the ‘Barney the Dinosaur’ documentaries as kids.
Grant at a press conference: Raptors may have been smarter than Dolphins...and even Primates!
Thesaurus Rex with a snooty voice: I beg to differ! A Raptor can unlock a door...but I could build one!
T-Rex high society be like riding around on iguanodons like horses, while herding triceratops onto ranches, so them Raptor gangs don't steal their cattle!
T. Rex just keeps getting buff after buff. No wonder a meteor was needed to end it 😂
Klayton, on the subject of the now cancelled Jurassic Park fan game, Jimmy X Chaos has suggested the Universal Studios did it because they already have an unannounced JP survival game and didn't want to compete, what do you think?
They do say that birds are descended from dinosaurs and some of them are ridiculously smart, so wouldn't really surprise me if the majority of them were problem solving smart
Did you also know Ankylosaurs were found out to have sounded like birds?
I'm just saying. A Dinosaur horror movie/novel/game where the T-Rex was as smart as the Jurassic Park raptors would be interesting and cool to see.
Trex smart as Baboon
Me: Imagining Trex use their tiny hands to drum their chest just like gorilla
Iirc, the study was comparing their brain size to birds rather than crocodile and mammals and came back with data that lines up with corvids. And corvids 100% have culture and use tools, even if those traits don't look like they do in primates.
Articles on paleontological topics appear far too rarely.
Season 2 of Prehistoric Planet hits Apple TV next month. It's worth getting interested because the first season simply outclassed JWD. In this documentary, even the cgi was at a much higher level
If you ever work with reptiles or birds you quickly learn that mammal intelligence is very different than birds and reptiles. Many species aren’t stupid, but they are… impulse driven. Especially reptiles. Our snake, for example, is super chill unless its hungry. Then it gets demanding. It will follow any movement, strike at the terrarium, etc. its only bitten the wife and i once each, and it was because it missed the meal dangling in front of it. After eating it is vulnerable, becomes defensive, and hides for the next day or two, then its chill again. It isn’t bother by the cat, the dog, the kid, etc.
Birds are weird. They’re impulse driven, but closer to humans in behaviors. Curiosity, play, social interaction, etc. but they HAVE to sing. When the planets align, they HAVE to lay eggs. Then they are driven to roost.
One of our parakeets, despite being one of a pair of females, nested, laid eggs, and treated them like they were definitely going to hatch. And then, after the typical gestation period she kicked them out of the nest because they didn’t hatch, and she went back to normal behaviors as if nothing happened.
If dinosaurs are birds (or, should i say birds are dinosaurs ) we’d expect the same ranges of intelligence and impulsivity. Many birds are idiots, but you also have you parrots and corvids, forming languages, dialects, cultures, tool use, remembering and passing on information between generations. But still driven by impulses like “nest” “egg” “sing”.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the more intelligent dinosaurs used tools on the same way corvids and other birds do: dropping rocks to crack things open, sticks to dig, poke, prod, trading one thing for another.
I’m not sure we actually have enough to work with to say how smart they were. We don’t understand a lot. Going by our current understanding of brain anatomy squamates should be pretty dumb but I see some pretty high intelligence from my monitors. As for tool use, why not? Alligators balance sticks on their snouts to lure in birds. The bird tries to take the stick for its nest and the alligator snatches the bird. That’s tool use. I think some birds have also been observed using tools.
Looks like, for once, modern research improves the JP films. Given how smart Rexes are theorized to be now, makes sense the pair from The Lost World came back to destroy the trailer and attempted to crush malcolm with the gas station ball.
I don’t think buck tried to crush him with the ball he just accidentally knocked it over
Hey Klayton my man, You are a little late on this topic but the paper didn't take into account the brain format and only relied on the neron count/ brain mass so it isn't as accurate as you might think, however knowing jurassic world this misimformation does look very tempting, so kkep an eye our for this in the next Jurassic project
So Awesome! 🦖
As for the spinosaurs being less developed, those were early fossils so its entirely possible they were better developed further down the line.
it would be more easy to study them if they somehow brought them back to life but then again if they can
look at tegu, monitor and crocodilians, we routinely train these animals and they show extreme intelligence
I think jurassic park should go the evolution route where each generation of new dinosaur thats born resembles its old form from their original extinct counterpart. It would be very cool.
I heard from Discovery Channel's *"When Dinosaurs Roamed America"* (the equivalent of the BBC classic documentary: *"Walking With Dinosaurs"),* a T. rex's brain is the size of a Gorilla's.
Aren't there papers that suggest that T-Rex hunted in packs. Also I want to point out that a group of T-Rex is a terror.
Klayton how did you download the lost world Jurassic park game on PC?
I personally believe that the T-Rex was an ambush predator. It would hunt live animals but would also engage in scavenging as well (hey, its a free meal). But I seriously doubt that the T-Rex would chase prey much but would instead lay in wait to ambush prey. This would make sense if the T-Rex was smarter than thought, as it takes some level of intelligence to ambush prey, though doesn't require genius levels either. Alligators & crocodiles are now considered a lot smarter than previously thought, and they are ambush predators as well. And I believe that the T-Rex was colored to blend in with the environment (browns & greens). The evidence supports this and I'm surprised that experts haven't considered this. According to the "experts", the T-Rex was either a hunter or a scavenger and being an ambush predator is never considered. The T-Rex has the eye-sight like an eagle and a super keen sense of smell. You DON'T need eagle eye sight if you're a scavenger & DON'T need a keen sense of smell if you rely on sight. The T-Rex was more like an alligator or crocodile in the sense that it was built for ambush but would also scavenge dead carcasses.
I have felt that many dinosaurs were somewhat intelligent to live for millions of years as species, while other species, not as long (based on current fossil records). Also pretty sure that each species had their smarter individuals and some that really didn't develop intelligence, while most of each species was sufficient enough to survive and defend or flee when needed.
0:39 Wait how do they know that. Neurons don’t fossilize…do they?
Glad each new discovery about the T-Rex buff him meanwhile the Liopleurodon with each new discovery is getting destroyed 25 years ago it was 25 meter monster, know is only 6.7 meters long
I would not be suprised if there was a dinosaur at leas at the ingeligence level of a higliy evolved primate.
It's neat to learn all the complexity of God's creation
Let's see if this plays into the second season of Prehistoric Planet!
I guess the movie land of the lost had a more realistic Tyrannosaurus then we thought 😂😂
Hey klayton what are your opinions about toast
T.rex was smart and fully capable of using tools and machines. It could even pilot an F-15. Just check out Calvin and Hobbes
If Watterson made a comic series based on just that I would gladly read it.
F-14, if I remember correctly.
Everyone thought animals were so much less intelligent than humans, but bow we've got talking dogs that questions reality and snakes that can open doors. Animals will become as smart as they need to be.
I always loved Tyrannosaurus Rex, because T-Rexes are cool.
Potentially 15,500 lb dino having supposedly have 1 kg brain my question is it in the same proportion as a babboon from body to brain size or does babboon have higher brain to body ratio?
Now imagine in the franchise, a smart, revengeful, terrifying male Rex...
It's already been done in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, with the Buck T. Rex on the loose in San Diego looking for it's infant.
@@classicgalactica5879 Now imagine that (maybe even the same Buck) as the antagonist of the entire movie, having more presence like the Spino in JP3 or the Indominus in JW
@@victorribeiro6772 That would be cool.
Btw it is a well known fact now that because of how smart T-Rex is w enow know it could solve problems so yeah it could solve problem during a hunt
Interesting.
