DINOSAURS
Dinosaur intelligence
Dinosaurs were not a brainy bunch, but the
Troodon was unusually smart. Its brain
was much larger than other dinosaurs and
it was ferocious predator. They were clever enough
to hunt in packs so they could catch much larger
prey. There was no escape from a Troodon.The bird-like dinosaur was ver y good at running,
w ith its long legs and cur ved claws that would
deliver the killer blow to prey. It is thought that a
Troodon’s teeth were as sharp as knives and that
their big eyes gave them great night v ision, so they
weren’t limited to hunting in daylight.Troodons were the most human
of all the dinosaurs. They had
opposable thumbs and they
could walk upright on two legsThumbs up
