Predator self-regulation

[kranapan]

Well, I think as many of those as possible really, I like the idea of the herbivores attacking young carnivores. Still, I suppose Andy doesn't want to put too much in.

[troony]

I think herbivorous dinosaurs should have migration routes and carnivorous dinosaurs should have territory like where there nest is and where they raise there young.

[kranapan]

Wow, that's just what Andy said. :H

[slashedxdelight]

I think animals are smarter than humans.

[kranapan]

Yeah, well you're just stupid.

Now now, no need to get hasty.
Intelligence can be measured by an IQ test or by an individuals (or a species) capability to work out problems associated with its environment. I prefer the later.

Also, a pretty good rough guide is just brain size to body mass, and we're the best in that.

Our brains started shrinking about 20,000 years ago, even compared to our body mass, and have only started getting bigger again after the Middle Ages because we started getting larger due to better nutrition.
And the reason corvids (ravens, crows, jays, etc.) haven't been recognized to be as smart as they truly are (also, applies to a lot of other animals) is because our tests of intelligence don't really show how smart the animal is in its own enviroment. Don't we all have trouble finding our way through a new place and getting used to a new routine- such as, at a new school?
