The giant predatory dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex may have had “flexible cognition” that would place it in the realms of modern day tool-using and culture-building birds and primates, according to a new study.
The research, published recently in the Journal of Comparative Neurology, found that T rex may have had “baboon-like numbers of brain neurons” that would have made them not only giant predators but also brainy creatures.
