Question 4 Up to how many brains had dinosaurs?
Some very large herbivores in the hip region had a nerve center, which can be described as a second brain entirely. It was used for the coordination of the musculoskeletal system and was almost as large as the brain in the head. Correct Answer 2

Question 5 Could dinosaurs fly?
Pterosaurs were indeed close relatives of dinosaurs, but even the late dinosaurs who have had similar bird feathers, could only like ski jumper or base jumpers jump from high points to the floor and steer their fall. This, just jump far.
