How smart was the T. rex? A 2023 study proposed that dinosaurs like it had over 3 billion neurons, more than a baboon, suggesting the T. rex was more intelligent than presumed. But new research found that it was probably more like a crocodile. Popular Science elaborates on the continued paleontological debate. https://flip.it/MdRZHW #Science#Dinosaurs#Animals#Trex
I woke up at 2am after a relentless nightmare about being hunted by a T-Rex. He chased me through the darkest forest, in a giant industrial garage, had me hiding in closets and the bottom of murky ponds. He had me mouthing "He's coming!" to others with sweat on my brow. Other people are so dumb and loud!
Man, was my amygdala tripping out on flight, fight or freeze impulses! I'm totally tense now! T-Rex's are the worst!
Have you ever wondered what a T. rex would look like without legs?
Well, our T. rex is currently legless, so now you know!
