Deinonychus is perhaps the most intelligent of natural dromeosaurs, being able to interpret humanoid behaviors in order to distinguish weak links in groups and figure out the perfect time to strike. The deinonychus also is intelligent enough to set traps by injuring and leaving a prey animal alone and relying on empathy to drive others to help the injured prey, and then they kill both the bait and the unlucky victims of their trickery. |
