So birds are basically just tiny descendants of dinosaurs, right? Parrots, corvids, and a few others are capable of mimicry… were there any dinos that shared that trait?
Dude from Jurassic Park: “Clever girl…”
Raptor: “CLEVER GIRL! raptor bark sound thing CLEVER GIRL!” eats his face
bear in mind that birds are a specific branch of dinosaurs, closest related to stuff like velociraptor.
so it’s a pretty good bet that raptors would make bird-like noises (though probably less complex and lower pitched), but doubtful that a stegosaurus would sound anything like a bird.
Yeah, we have chickens running around where I live, and those mfers can really sound creepy as fuck. That sort of muted muffled gutteral shriek thing they do? That’s never mentioned in children’s farm animals books…
This is besides the fact that we kinda do. There’s a lot of caveats there, though, They’ve been scanning what they think is their vocal organs, generating 3d meshes and printing them out.
Dino vocal…er… do they even have vocal chords?.. My nephew was in a dinosaur phase. (still is, to be honest. there’s 3 phases I never grew out of, if I’m any indication- dinosaurs, jumping-in-mud-puddles and robots. despite my SiL’s protests… I think I’m a great influence.)
When I was a kid, I had a dinosaur book that suggested Eryops probably sounded like a Buick. I have no idea if they meant the horn or the engine. One of those odd “facts” that sticks with you, though.
The thing I dislike about this is that Schmetterling actually sounds the most sweet out of the languages used (from the video probably being referenced), if you say it normally.
