Tyrannosaurus (by name), fierce and relentless like all predators at the top of the food chain. And even very intelligent. A new research changes the image that novels and movies often portrayed of the T-rex, which 65 million years ago had no rivals among carnivores. Now, some researchers say that the T-rex's cerebral cortex had a neuron density comparable to that of a baboon, which would have allowed it to live up to 40 years, learn to use tools, and pass on its knowledge to its offspring.
A controversial study by neuroscientist Suzana Herculano-Houzel of Vanderbilt University (USA) has estimated this by assessing the brains of modern birds (descendants of dinosaurs) and comparing them to the size of the T. rex's skull.
