Reveals the fascinating behaviors and social lives of dinosaurs.
What do we truly know about the intelligence of dinosaurs? In What Did Dinosaurs Think About? paleontologist Jean Le Loeuff takes us beyond these captivating animals' cinematic portrayals in Jurassic Park to illustrate how these creatures truly lived, hunted, socialized, and survived.
Based on the latest paleontological discoveries, Le Loeuff examines dinosaur intelligence, social behaviors, and sensory experiences, offering a fresh view of their world. Could T. rex truly smell its prey from miles away? How did Triceratops and Velociraptors interact with each other and their environments? And could some dinosaurs communicate with sounds-or even colors? With advancements like CT scans and 3D imaging, scientists are uncovering new insights into dinosaur brains, senses, and vocalizations.
Le Loeuff explores topics like the intricate structure of the dinosaur brain, the colors and patterns of their skin, and what their fossilized footprints reveal about their social lives. Readers will also learn how today's birds and reptiles provide clues to the habits and behaviors of their ancient relatives. From the scaly giants that roamed prehistoric landscapes to the swift predators that stalked their prey under moonlight, this fascinating book offers a captivating glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary animals.
