They can hunt in total darkness, making no sound as they glide slowly to catch their small mammalian prey unaware of the deadly claws and beak above.
7 Μαΐ 2021 · Such sensory innovations are unknown in nonavialan theropod dinosaurs and are poorly characterized on the line that leads to birds. We investigate morphofunctional proxies of vision and hearing in living and extinct theropods and demonstrate deep evolutionary divergences of sensory modalities.
