Apparently, we were overestimating the intelligence capability of 9 ton beasts with walnut-sized brains.

What level of intelligence is required for an eating machine?

T Rex dumb? I don’t know why scientists would say that. There are many cave drawings showing this animal doing smart things, like reading a book for example.

Tyrannosauroids were around for almost 90 million years.

They were smart enough.

Hey mighty brontosaurus, don’t you have a lesson for us.
Said your rule would always last, and the lessons in your past.
You were built three stories high, say you would not hurt a fly.
If we explode the atom bomb, would they say that we were dumb.

We’re... walking in your footsteps...

T.Rex was smart & talented enough to have a hit record in the 70s

Funny how they pontificate about an extinct dinosaur’s intelligence yet not a peep about the intelligence of today’s democrat voter given the the currently installed presidents romp on our hill.???
Nor do they talk of his.

Just how smart did people think he was? On a scale of Kamala Harris to Hunter Biden.

In reality science doesn’t have a clue how smart or dumb a T Rex was. It’s all theory.

They existed and they thrived for millions of years. Man hasn’t been around that long and they’ve screwed pretty much everything up. Who was smarter?

You mean someone gave them an IQ test? If they were smart, they would have known that the earth was going to be it by an astroid!

T. Rex only needed to be as smart as, say, a housecat.

I’m curious about the teeth however. There are many fossilized remains. And in a skull up to 5 ft. long, a 6” or more tooth is not proportionately oversize, a point made here:

The lips part makes sense though.

The dinos knew the end was near so they made an army of all T-Rexes to try and save them. Unfortunately all they could muster was small arms.

I always figured they were about as smart as a Chicken.
