Cats are surely (at least a bit) intelligent and hunt (mostly) alone OTOH Dorylinae are not even remotely intelligent, but hunt in (large) packs. Intelligence of dinosaurs (including raptors) is questionable at best (forget about Jurassic Park series, please). | |

| May 22, 2015 at 14:37 | comment | added | Jax | @DanSmolinske Dinosaurs were in all probability not stupid simply because they existed 65 million years ago. Many dinosaur species were fully evolved from their primitive ancestors millions of years before them. The only reason mammals took over is because an asteroid/volcanic activity/disease. | |

| May 22, 2015 at 14:32 | comment | added | Necessity | You may be right but many animals that hunted for food have been successfully been made pets (like wolves). As long as they are not mistreated and are fed well, there is no reason why it is not possible. | |
| May 22, 2015 at 14:30 | comment | added | Dan Smolinske | Keep in mind that dinosaurs were several hundred million years behind modern animals in the evolutionary race. I suspect if we resurrected them we'd be surprised at how stupid they were (and probably weaker in other ways as well). Now if you have a dinosaur's descendants, on the other hand, with those extra 65 million years of evolution? Those would be scary. | |
