007skaty The Dinosauroid
If that asteroid missed us, we'd be shaking three-fingered hands!
007skaty The intelligent Dinosauroid model left a lasting legacy on evolutionary science.
007skaty Gregory S. Paul and Darren Naish argued that intelligent dinosaurs would retain tails, horizontal postures, and avian-like bodies.
007skaty A technical 3D render displays the glass and chrome anatomy of a dinosauroid.
007skaty Choose evolutionary traits to discover how a dinosaur could have evolved into the speculative dinosauroid.
Dinosauroid's big brain: Dale Russell's hypothetical Dinosauroid had an estimated brain size of 1,100 cubic centimeters, nearly identical to a modern human's.
A hypothetical intelligent bipedal creature imagined as an evolutionary descendant of theropod dinosaurs. In 1982, paleontologist Dale Russell proposed this model based on the Cretaceous dinosaur Stenonychosaurus.

What is the scientific term for the ratio of an animal's brain weight to its body weight?
Why do modern paleontologists criticize the upright, tail-less design of the Dinosauroid?
