It clearly sets out both the results of the (as yet unpublished) scientific paper and the opinions of others involved in the topic.

T. rex: New research finds dinosaur wasn't as clever as we thought

The article focuses on the probable things a T. rex was capable of doing with its intelligence (being this kind of behaviour impossible to confirm), while the novelty and interesting part of the scientific paper is the methodology. I understand that talking about the T. rex is more like a clickbait to access the article, but it would be also interesting indicating something more about the methods in the main text.

The publication is clear and goes straight to the point. But I miss some more information on the geological age and geographical origin of these fossils, together with some more explanation about their connection with dinosaurs. A mention of the Berlin specimen could have been added too.
