New studies suggest Dinosaurs might have been much brainier than once thought and some like the T-Rex might have been as smart as primates! 

 

Interesting, I never would have considered that dinosaurs may have been much more intelligent than we think but considering the size of their bodies, I could imagine that maybe true. How big was the dinosaur brain do you know?

I can post the scientific paper but the brain size varied by species, the theropods had the biggest and T-Rex had a brain about the size and or complexity of a baboon.
