Would dinosaurs even get prion disease? I think birds don't.

    Anything with proteins can get prion disease. Since they're reptiles and their genome is a lot older than ours, there's a pretty good chance something that affects us might not affect them in terms of proteins. I don't think birds get prion diseases bc it hasn't been really well studied yet.
