As far as I know, dinosaurs are reptiles and reptiles have reptilitan
brains which are not constructed to be adaptable. So their brains might
be the size of a bus, it dosen't really make a diffirence.

This is the case where intelligence doesn't depend on size, because it's
simply not there.

C'ya!
