    The raptors showed intelligence, cooperation, and planning in the Jurrasic Park movies, but I find it hard to believe that we have any evidence relating to their behavior.

    How large were their brains? Do we have any idea of dinosoaur brain structure?

    Dinosaur,

    Not specifically, however, I do anticipate that the general rule "Brain Mass vs Body Mass" ratio held then as it does now and the Raptors did have a larger head per body size than most.

    Even so, their intelligence probably wouldn't have been on the same level as most mammals. Are u sure that the mass ratio-intelligence correlation is not confined only to mammals?

    John C.,

    Not sure about that at all, only that the mass ratio reflects general intelligence.
