What makes scientists believe that the bird like dinosaur troodon was one of the smartest dinosaurs?
It is generally assumed that the ratio between brain size and body mass is an indication of intelligence.
Although this is not strictly true it is generally true. Humans certainly have the highest ratio of brain to body.
Troodon had one of the largest brains of any dinosaurs in comparison to its body therefore it is generally assumed it was intelligent.

Why do scientists believe that birds evolved from dinosaurs?
Scientists believe birds evolved from dinosaurs because of several pieces of evidence, such as shared skeletal features, fossil records of "transitional" bird-like dinosaurs, and genetic similarities. These connections suggest that birds are the descendants of a group of small theropod dinosaurs.
Most scientists now believe that birds evolved directly from bipedal?
Theropod dinosaurs, based on fossil and genetic evidence. Theropods share skeletal and anatomical features with birds, suggesting a common evolutionary ancestor. This hypothesis is supported by discoveries of transitional fossils, such as Archaeopteryx, that exhibit characteristics of both dinosaurs and birds.
Some scientists think the what became extinct when one of these comets came crashing into the Earth?
Some scientists believe that dinosaurs became extinct when a comet crashed into Earth. This catastrophic event led to widespread environmental changes, including extreme climate conditions that likely contributed to the mass extinction of dinosaurs and many other species.
Is it possible to recreate dinosaurs?
That is the question from "Jurassic Park". It is hard to make a living form from DNA but possible. Fortunately nobody ever found Dinosaur DNA and it is scientifically proven that if they found dinosaur DNA it would be to ruined and expired, over the time, to use. The conclusion of these facts is thaot it will ( Thank God ) never be possible to recreate a Dinosaur.
How do scientists believe that a great flood killed the dinosaurs?
Scientists do not believe that the extinction of the dinosaurs was the result of a great flood. There are still a number of competing theories about the extinction of the dinosaurs although it is clear that there was a large meteor impact in the Yucatan region, which played a role. It may also be that rising carbon dioxide levels and ocean acidity played a role as well. It may be that there were a number of contributing factors, rather than just one single cause. But scientists do not think that flooding was involved. Note that some dinosaurs were aquatic, and would not have been killed by flooding since they already lived in the water.
Why do scientists believe think dinosaurs no longer roam the earth?
Because they're using a definition of "dinosaur" that allows them to think that.
What makes scientists believe that the bird-like dinosaur named troodon was one of the ''smartest'' dinosaurs?
Yes. In fact, paleontologists have actually looked inside the brain cavity of Troodon. They found that it had the biggest brain relative to body size of any dinosaur. Because of this, Troodon is believed to have been the smartest dinosaur.
If you sneezed in the dinosaur age what would happen?
Scientists believe that because dinosaurs didn't have the same viruses to combat as us, the modern common cold could make the dinosaurs extinct. =D
What do scientists believe dinosaurs evolved from?
Birds, which are not just considered descendants of dinosaurs; they are dinosaurs.
How many kinds of dinosaur were there?
There are two options, people belive that if they multiply and divide right, they can find out how many were there, but then again, Scientists believe that the area where the most dinosaur bones and fossils found was at "East of Africa", scientists believe 9,000,935,985,784 dinosaurs were on the planet, so if that number was divided by the number the scientists had mathed out the answer would be about 400-600 types of dino's
What was the fist dinosaur born?

What food did male dinosaurs eat?
I believe it is the species of dinosaur that matters, not gender.
Why do some scientist believe that dinosaurs were warm blooded?
There are a number of indicators. Some dinosaur fossils show indications of an active lifestyle that a cold-blooded animal is unlikely to have. One dinosaur was found to have had a four-chambered heart, which is also found in mammals and birds, but not in modern reptiles.
Is the extincion of dinos are real?

Are omnivore dinosaurs still living?
No, all of the dinosaur species died out many years ago but paleontologists believe that birds are linked to dinosaurs.
