Flying dinosaurs were chorizos
No, sorry, that is not correct, but with a brain like birds. This has been expressed, at least, by researchers of the skull of Archaeopteryx.
Using computed tomography, a thousand X-rays of the fossil skull have been analyzed. It seems that areas related to vision and movement control occupied an important place in the brain, as occurs in birds. In addition, the structure of the inner ear of Archaeopteryx was similar to that of birds, as well as the relationship between the brain and body measurements. All these characteristics have been found only in flying animals, so researchers believe that Archaeopteryx could fly.
So far, many wondered if this species, which mixed the characteristics of birds and reptiles, was able to fly, but, according to the latest studies, it seems that yes.
