Did the dinosaurs really have a brain in their tail?
Many people wondered about the intelligence of dinosaurs, especially the big and carnivorous ones. They were smart and if so, how clever? It seems that most large dinosaurs would probably sit in the back of the classic dune cap, which can cause them to look a little less furious. Smaller dinosaurs, especially the Raptor group, tend to have the largest brain, suggesting greater intelligence. On the other hand, the larger dinosaurs were to say nicely, a little dull, although their brains certainly worked well enough for years of survival. From Stegosaurus, this theory was applied to other large dinosaurs, such as non -existent Brontosaurus (really apatosaurs or brachiosaurs). Scientists found evidence that Stegosaurus had a cavity near the baseocas that could hold the brain even greater than the one in Stegosaurus's head.
as well as the name Brontosaurus stuck, the idea that some dinosaursThey have brains in their tail, remaining persistent faith, especially those who do not maintain current DINO research. The fact is that dinosaurs did not have brain in their tail. What was previously considered the second brain center was probably the accumulation of fat cells and a large number of nerve cells that could help control the movement of the lower body and tail. In a sense, you could almost say that dinosaurs had a brain in their tail due to a high number of nerve cells. In fact, these do not work like the second brain.
Furthermore, the city legend "brains in their tail" only related to a very small group of dinosaurs. Most of the dinosaurs did not have this piece of tissues and the nerve/tissue space is only present in several proof of larger dinosaurs, especially Stegosaurus, brachiosaurus and apatosaurus. The theory is that large heavy tails needed a lot of nerve receptors and independent controls to avoid dinosaur from balance. If you've ever looked at the plucking of the cat's tail, it seems thatE has its own mind, and although the idea that dinosaurs have a brain in their tail, it is not true, their tails could have the same kind of seemingly independent movement associated with modern animals.
For lovers of dinosaurs who grew up and studied in one way, we are in great revelations because DNA research is becoming more sophisticated. Recently, scientists have found a matter for Raptor, who can confirm that these dinosaurs really had feathers, which led the credibility of "birds is dinosaurs". Ostrics have the same type of nerve structure at the base of the tail, but also several lizards. It is interesting to speculate on what the books and illustrations of dinosaurs can look in another twenty years. Maybe instead of seeing animals similar to the lizards we are so familiar, we can actually look at many Big Bird ancestors in the coming years.
