"Living birds have brains more complex than any known animals except mammals," said lead investigator Christopher Torres, who conducted the research while at the UT College of Natural Sciences.
A team of researchers in the UK has discovered footprints from at least six different species of dinosaur -- the very last dinosaurs to walk on the UK soil 110 million years ago.
Researchers have identified fossil bone fragments of sauropod dinosaurs dating back to about 100 million years from an area around West Khasi Hills District in Meghalaya.
While it is known that the devastating impact of something huge that crashed into Earth 66 million years ago led to the extinction of dinosaurs, clarity on whether it was a comet or asteroid strike and where it originated was lacking.
Scientists have revealed that Spinosaurus had paddle-like tail bones which indicate its aquatic tendencies. The researchers always suspected this due to its crocodilian snout and spiky sail.
Scientists and paleontologists have identified the first known cancer in a dinosaur. The researchers at McMaster University and the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) have reported the aggressive malignant bone cancer--osteosarcoma in the dinosaur's bone.
On Friday, Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk took to Twitter to claim that "Aliens built the pyramids obv (obviously)", hinting that Pharaoh Ramses 11 was probably out of this world too. In the following tweet, he wrote, "Ramses 11 was :D."
The creature, which predated dinosaurs and flying pterosaurs, was just shy of 4 inches (10 centimeters) tall, according to a study published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
This rare dinosaurs grown dromaeosaurids ranged from 6 to 9 feet. This baby would have been the size of a small puppy, much too young to migrate. The bone fragment belonged to a juvenile dinosaur from the dromaeosaurid family of predatory dinosaurs "closely related to birds."
Paleontologists in Australia have identified a rare "toothless" dinosaur. The dinosaur, an elaphrosaur, roamed Australia 110 million years ago, according to a statement released by the Swinburne University of Technology.
In a first, researchers have found that the dinosaur-killing meteorite that crashed into the Earth 66 million years ago may have instantly acidified the oceans by causing a release of excess sulphur into the atmosphere and the seas. The researchers, including those from Yale University in the US, said that the impact from the space rock pulverised sulphur-rich rocks, and caused the raining-out of sulphuric acid which may have led to increased ocean acidity.
