Dinosaurs were «more like smart giant crocodiles» but not as intelligent as monkeys as an earlier study had found, according to new research. In a study published in January 2023, neuroscientist and author Suzana Herculano-Houzel of Vanderbilt University, US, had said that brains of theropod dinosaurs, a species of which is T. rex, had neurons comparable to those in the brains of monkeys and baboons. Dinosaurs like T. rex, or Tyrannosaurus rex, had an exceptionally high number of neurons, «which would make these animals not only giant but also long-lived and endowed with flexible cognition, and thus even more magnificent predators than previously thought,» the author wrote in the study published in the Journal of Comparative Neurology. In the latest research, an international team of palaeontologists, behavioural scientists and neurologists re-examined the brains of dinosaurs, including T. rex, and found them to behave more like reptiles.

Titanic viewers saw Kate Winslet, playing the role of Rose, struggling to stay afloat on a wood plank after the iconic ship sank, taking the life of her lover Jack. In reality, the RMS Titanic, which was a British ocean liner back in 1912, sank after hitting an iceberg, enroute New York from Southampton, England and was considered one of the biggest maritime accidents of all time after around 1,500 passengers in the ship died. Now, the new edition of the Titanic is in the works, funded by an Australian business tycoon by the name of Clive Palmer and will have no shortage of lifeboats onboard so that the issue of scrambling to stay afloat does not arise in the case of an untoward incident involving this new ship, according to a Daily Star report.

Kane Williamson will lead New Zealand at next month's one-day World Cup and Trent Boult will spearhead the pace attack but opener Finn Allen and fast bowler Adam Milne have missed out on the squad for India. Boult returned to action with three wickets in a 79-run defeat by England in Southampton on Sunday and was duly named in the 15-man squad to be led by Williamson, despite the batter's ongoing recovery from a long-term knee ligament injury. New Zealand were runners-up to hosts England at the 2019 tournament, losing a classic final at Lord's on boundary count after the teams could not be separated by a tie-breaking Super Over. Will Young beat out Allen for the opening batsman slot which has been contested since Martin Guptill's release last year. «We just felt that we looked through what the potential game-plan was looking like in India, looked at the grounds, and also looked at the form of the two players as well,» head coach Gary Stead told reporters. «We felt that Young was the right guy to go with.» Jimmy Neesham, who all but batted New Zealand to victory in the 2019 final, has also been included, despite joining Boult in opting out of his national contract last year. «I think you always have the need for all-rounders and I guess with Michael Bracewell dropping out, that also opened up an option for another all-rounder there,» Stead said of Neesham's selection. Boult, Williamson, Neesham, fast bowler Tim Southee and wicketkeeper batsman Tom Latham form a strong core of World Cup veterans but the squad also includes six players looking to make their debut at the 50-over tournament.
